Bio
The Livingstons were formed in 1997 by guitar player/Vocalist Michael Livingston and drummer Alex Gomez (formerly of US Bombs) while they were both playing in the seminal LA junk rock band the Mau-Maus (which Mike had joined in 1979). Eventually they decided to go it alone and started the Livingstons. They recruited former Dickies bassist Charlie Alexander and began playing gigs at local venues such as Al’s Bar and Bar Deluxe. They recorded a seven-song demo in their lockout located in the Produce Terminal off of the Alameda corridor. A song from this recording (Culture Is Like a Knife) was included in the second ‘Old Skars and Upstarts' compilation released by Hunns/US Bombs vocalist Duane Peters. Unfortunately for Mike and Alex, Charlie had decided that Alabama would be a better place to raise his newborn daughter and moved there. Charlie was replaced on bass guitar by Mike Coulter and they continued playing gigs around LA and Orange County (Galaxy Ballroom, Spaceland, assorted punk rock parties). The Livingstons have just finished recording the second (eight-song) demo. Flipside magazine described the Livingstons sound as rock n’ roll extremely rooted in all its purer traditions, rockabilly, old style country, punk rock and the roots of surf.
