Lost to 2016
So many beloved artists indeed, --just wanted to also mention National City's Johnny "Cobra" Romero who passed away July 4th, 2016. He was a guitarist who started out doing session work on Crescent Records with soul artist June Jackson, performed with The Majestics (among many others), and led his own group, The Tijuana Surfers up until his death.— December 29, 2016 9:45 a.m.
Deep Six
Guitarist Don Dunn later made two albums with Tony McCashen under the name Dunn & McCashen for Capital Records, penning the song "Lydia Purple," that The Paupers covered (among others). More career info can be found at: http://www.mtv.com/artists/don-dunn/— August 14, 2016 8:15 p.m.
The Reader's record-release roundup for May

Imperial Bassics
I like what the Bassics are doing, hope they keep it goin! As far as (Mod) music goes in IB, The Trebels started around the late 70's and played well into the 80's (even opening up for Chuck Berry). They played everything from The Who to the Small Faces, The Downliners Sect, originals, R&B, and did it WELL. Members went on to form The Hoods, The Evil Eyes, The Imperial Beats, The Loons, Phantoms, and The Hi-Tones (with Action Andy). The New Breed (named after The Jam's "Dig The New Breed" lp) comprised of Mar Vista kids (& one National City kid) who played original Power-Pop & Garage through the late 80's and the early 90's, skinny ties and all. 70's era Funk-Rock group "Last Chance" was responsible for the Imperial Beach anthem "IB Cruisin," blasted from every smoky car window west of I-5, down Palm Avenue, then sizzled into the sand & sloughs~— April 16, 2015 12:48 a.m.
