...And all them cool REAL PUNK ROCK Bandz from 1977 to 1982
Formed in the Late 70's SOCIAL SPIT Played one show with Guitarist Dave Fleminger, Singer Bruce SKABZ Atwell, Drummer Brian Watkins, Bassist Bosco and excess guitar player Squirrel. That band broke up and in November 1980 Bruce Atwell approached Jonny V at a Black Flag show and during the discussion it was agreed that Social Spit would be re-created. After trying out various people, Drummer Brian Watkins and Bassist Russ Weber joined the fray and in December 1980, the first new Social Spit show was played at the Lions Club on Utah St in San Diego.
Bruce Atwell QUIT Social Spit in January 1981 and was promptly replaced by Cliff Pre-PegLeg Cunningham - And so Social Spit existed until August 1981 when we decided to quit.
One "Reunion" Show was played in 1982 at Kings Road on 30th Street, this was the last show where Brian and Russ ever played with S.S.
In 1986 Social Spit reformed with Drummer Paul SKUMDOG Valentine and Bassist Sean Diatribe, then 6 months later Sean was replaced with Bassist Mike Von-Geitzen. At this time, Mystic Records recorded and distributed the EP "PSYCHO WARD."
Mike von Gietzen and Skumdog left tha band in late 87 and were replaced with Dave "Psycho" Nestor on Bass and Javier Vega on Drums. Our first show with that lineup (This is arguable between Cliff and Jonny) was the the KCR benefit at Siagon Palace sometime in late 87. In 1988, the record "SHIT LIST" was recorded at Nestor Studios in El Cajon, but was not released until 1991, due to red tape and other wankage from Mystic Records. The album was re-named "There's No Place like Home" and sported a cover by Mad Marc Rude. An "Interim" Live EP was put out by Mystic Records in 1988, without the express permission of Social Spit. So, that year, Social Spit joined the LONG list of "Fuck-ees of Mystic Records," along with Dr Know, Agression, Ill Repute, RKL, Batallion of Saints, and about a hundred other bands.
This formation of Social Spit lasted off and on until November 2000 when a show at Brick-by-Brick went south due to fuckin' Alchohol: And it was decided that Javier would no longer be with Social Spit- So until mid-2004, it was not expected that Social Spit would ever play live ever again.
In May 2005 to about October, Social Spit played a few 25th anniversary Shows
