Hated – Wrong Beach – and The F@gz – at Tiki Bar Oc – Costa Mesa, CA

So I'm off to the Tiki Bar Oc in Costa Mesa, I have been looking foreword to tonight because all the bands tonight are comprised of great and seasoned players. Tonight's list of bands are The F@gz, Wrong Beach, and Hated 

 

I walk into the Tiki ,The F@gz just started their set, on stage Kelly Kaos looking hot and sounding hot! This band stands against censorship or suppression of ideas and that definitely come through in the music.

Next up is Wrong Beach, The energy this band puts out is because of the heavy line-up this band it has several of my favorites players: A.J. Das Clown, Rikk Agnew from Adolescents, Christen Death, and that list goes on for miles, Greg Watson/ bass, Justin Time /drums, Johnny Barrios / rhythm guitar, Dwayne Lyon/ keyboards. This monster of a band from Long Beach plays all my favorite tunes from bands that originated from Long Beach , Funeral, The Crewd, Rhino 39, Redd Kross, and Das Clown.

The final band of the night is a Hated a band that has been around since 1978, The Hated were a large part of the Punk Scene in the 70's and 80's, they played with such bands as Dead Kennedy's, J.F.A., The Damned, Social Distortion, T.S.O.L., Black Flag, Circle Jerks, 45 Grave, Fear, and The Crowd. Recently reformed in 2012 the band : Steve Real - Vocals, Curt Smith - Guitar, Chalmer Lumary - Bass, and Hank Jacobson on drums.
