CRIME

Bio:

Crime started before the word punk meant a style of music! Their first gig was at the Old Waldorf, which was located in the Fillmore district, on Halloween, 1976. Their shows were introduced with sirens and search lights. The had a habit of wearing police uniforms on stage. They had more interest in rock and roll than in "punk" as a "movement" , with the result that they made enemies of most of the serious trendoids in the area. Nevertheless, they were part of the early San Francisco scene. They played regularly at the Mabuhay Gardens (famous club in San Francisco) and had a huge draw locally. 1976 - 1981..
