Inside was this two-page photo spread of New Wave bands from Los Angeles, taken August 1979. How many of the bands can you identify? I have to tell you at the start, that I don't have the answers. The book didn't give any names of individual bands. I can identify band #12, but as to the others I have no clue. I thought the combined knowledge of TC might be able to identify them all. Hell, Vintage Girl might be able to identify them all on her own. Here are the close-ups of each band: :up: Band #1 - The Zippers :up: Band #2 - The Plugz Video :up: Band #3 - The Heaters :up: Band #4 - Alley Cats. Video :up: Band #5 - The Motels.
