Low Budget - Live at Pam's
Low Budget In Da House. My old high-school chum, Johnny Heck sent me a bunch of scanned photographs from a gig that Low Budget played at a private home in the Whittier hills back in 1977. In case you don't recall them, Low Budget was the punk band that X-8 and Tory from Flip Side belonged to along with drummer, Jim Prado. I did occasional vocals and schlepped equipment around. X-8 designed the fliers and printed them on one of the school's mimeograph machines.
The gig was at the house of a girl named Pam Tourigian, I'm pretty sure she had a major crush on X-8 (along with a lot of the other girls at Whittier High). Another local band called Jekyll and Hyde played outside by the pool, but the cops showed up, so we moved it inside. LB managed to get a few songs in before the police came by again and shut the party down for good.
I'm pretty sure that's Pooch in the bottom-left photo of this collage; I don't remember him being there, but that's not terribly surprising considering how bad my memory is. [Eye of the Goof]
