“This place is FUCKED!” It’s a classic Rancid lyric… Angry and joyous at the same time, aimed at the Bay Area, and fun to yell: a classic!
Anyway, you love Rancid, I love Rancid — but we’d love to know more and more and more about the time and place and scene from whence Rancid came. We’d love to dig deeper! Rancid got big fast and moved to Hollywood or something….. but what was happening here in the early days, and how’d it all go down, and what happened later on?? Maybe there was Green Day, maybe Operation Ivy had something to do with it, and maybe Chris Appelgren (of the Bold Italic) ran something called Lookout Records. In any case, we wanna know all about it!
Well, we’re in luck: DJ Trigger Cut is here to help us out. With his exhaustive knowledge of Bay Area punk rock, and his even more exhaustive record collection, DJ Trigger Cut (on the last Tuesday of every month) will educate us and excite us and make us wanna dance a drink and partY!
THIS PLACE IS FUCKED! RSVP and invite your friends! (And hope he plays some Groovie Ghoulies this time!)
You’re missing the most important Bay Area punk band in this post.

Larry Livermore and his partner David formed and ran Lookout Records. I have a bunch of their stuff on vinyl.
Not THAT kind of Partner, though, potna.
