Still going strong with original members Penelope Houston & Greg Ingraham, The Avengers were next to take the stage. They played tracks from both E.P.'s & their 1983 album. I think I Believe In Me was the only track missing from their set. They even included their version of The Rolling Stone's Paint It Black. Now unfortunately this was the last band I got on camera. All 4 of my camera batteries were totally juiced after The Avengers. Besides there's already an abundance of live material from T.S.O.L. & The Adolescents available on the interwebs.
Also check here for a great review/photos from the show.

27 years later, The Middle Class were finally set to take the stage. I think most everyone that night came out to see this highly anticipated reunion. Playing tracks from everyone of their releases, the band definitely did not disappoint. The atmospheric post punk of their later records blended well with the adrenaline-induced hardcore of their earlier material. Both old and young danced, stared, screamed, & yelled in awe of this great bands long awaited performance. Bass player Mike Patton closed it out with a "cover" of Eddie & The SubtitlesAmerican Society. I say "cover" because Mike Patton did play bass on the original record. So is it really a cover? Hope you all enjoy this music as much as I got the chance to that night.

Take a little bit of The Screamers, mix it with some of The Weirdos, top it with just a bit of The Mad, & then you might just end up with something that sounds sort of like The Deadbeats. The band released their lone Kill The Hippies 7" on Dangerhouse in 1978. Classic L.A. Punk at its best.
