Music news Punk memories from years past
Posted by Scott Henry @ScottTheHenry on Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Were you at the Sex Pistols' show at the Great Southeast Music Hall in 1978? Did you hang with GG Allin while he shopped for jock straps? Did you hook up with Wendy O. Williams after a show in Atlanta? Is your idea of a perfect rap song "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies?
On Oct. 4, the Masquerade Music Park will host the Metroplex/688 Reunion, an event celebrating the legacies of Atlanta's two greatest punk music venues. In preparation for that happy day, CL would like to collect your memories of the city's punk scene back in the day.
We invite you to send us your anecdotes, reminiscences and drug-fueled fever dreams about punk's heyday in Atlanta. What were your favorite punk venues? Favorite local punk bands? Shows you'll never forget? Crazy stories? Send 'em on!
You can either comment to this posting or you can e-mail longer items to scott.henry@creativeloafing.com. I'm working on an article about Atlanta's punk scene and would appreciate your contributions – you stinkin' pigs!
