THE WEASELS


beat her with a rake/i'm the commander 7" from siamese records,1978.these guys existed in the same time and space as the runaways,imperial dogs,berlin brats,and others of the era in post glam l.a. and even got their friends,van halen to open for them more than once.this was a hit on kroq at the time,and both sides have violent lyrics,and crossover punk/metal style,long before it actually was thought to have begun.the closest comparison i can make is,the child molesters,found on this blog.

The Imperial Dogs and the Weasels weren't pals. The Imperial Dogs never saw those guys play or even ever met 'em. The Imperial Dogs broke up in March 1975, before the Runaways were even formed. The Berlin Brats were around at the same time as the Imperial Dogs.Both bands played Rodney Bingeheimer's English Disco -- not on the same bill -- but the Imperial Dogs played there twice (in Nov. 1974 and Feb. 1975). The only other acts who played Rodney's, which rarely had live shows, were Shawn Cassidy and Iggy Pop, who did that famous "Death Of A Virgin" thing, which more like a piece of performance art -- there wasn't any music component. Dunno if the Weasels, who were from Culver City, were playing out back then, but that single is, as noted, from 1978.
