Tiki Kaimuki-

I drummed with the following garage/punk bands - mostly from the Riverside/Norco/Corona California area

  • during my high-school/immediate post high-school days:

Trigger (1979) Riverside Band
Genocide (1979 - 1981) La Sierra/Riverside Band
Know Restraint (1981-1982) Riverside Band
Red Cross (1981-1982) Corona Band
Exit 19 (1984) LA Band
Extremes (1985-1986) La Sierra/Riverside Band

No vinyl releases. Hard to believe looking back now. I participated in several recording sessions back then - making master tapes with the intention to press records - but in in every instance the band broke up, didn't have the collective funds, drank/smoked the profits etc. Typical garage band story applies here.

Today no master tapes from recording sessions survive or have surfaced. Believe me, I've searched. All band mates have moved or passed on.
But! - I still have a dozen or so cassette tapes in my personal collection, the only surviving sonic proof of my reckless teenage energy.
I wish you guys could hear some of it. Amazing.

I'll take pics of some regional memorabilia from my archives (flyers/clippings/yearbooks) and post here. More to come..
