Description:

LA Made in collaboration with Razorcake magazine is proud to present a screening of Eastside Punks, a film series showcasing another Los Angeles punk scene, one whose existence has developed parallel to, and occasionally intersected with, but remains largely marginalized from L.A.'s greater musical underground.

Blending live footage and interviews with multiple generations of musicians, artists, writers, and scenesters, Eastside Punks taps into stories from the scene's history: its beginnings in East L.A.'s art and music underground of the 1970s; early eastside punk pioneers who contributed to the foundations of Los Angeles's original punk scene; the birth of a unique eastside scene, the rise and fall of its premier club, The Vex, and the bands that called it home.

We will screen two short films highlighting the bands Brat and Nervous Gender. Afterwards, band members Teresa Covarrubias and Rudy Medina (Brat) and Edward Stapleton (Nervous Gender) will be onstage in moderated conversation with Jimmy Alvarado and Todd Taylor from Razorcake.
