  • Bio

    The Screamers are the first wave of L.A. punk rock. They were among the first bands to emerge on the West Coast scene and were wildly popular in Los Angeles for several years, able to sell out two- or three-day stands at some of the city's most prestigious rock clubs. The Screamers also cleared new paths for the sound and image of rock music, abandoning electric guitars for a keyboard-based sound that was as muscular and abrasive as any other band on the scene, and embracing video and theatrics in a manner that put them far ahead of their time. However, the band never released a record and outside of several bootlegs of demos and live performances, there has never been an official aural document of their trailblazing music. THIS IS A FAN PAGE. I have spoke to Tomata via email a few times back in 1999. I asked him; "when is the Screamers reunion"? He replied; "How about you going back 25 years ago and doing what you were doing then"? He then said that he was happy painting and that he never met Jesus but heard he was a cool dude. I thought that was a pretty classic reply. .......... .... ....
