SHOCK ("This Generation's on Vacation") on the use of fake punk rock stage names.

Shock was the first punk show I ever saw live. I was about 17 years old; it was around 1983 at Pierce College in Woodland Hills The sound live was excellent. There were 3 people in the audience! Sold my Shock EP among about 60 other 45 rpms to a collector from Orange County. $700 altogether.

@GenerationSS2000 Wow! You were one of the 3 or 4 people there that day? Pretty wild! I vaguely remember playing that show, and how I was thinking to myself "Why are we playing here, during the day, during school?" Wish I had photos or a recording of that show, though! Thanks for sharing that memory!

@nobleavenue Hey Kip. I didn't know you'd be replying. My friend and I were 17 years old and we sat on the folding chairs in the back. I used to see you and the singer (Paul) pretty regularly because I shopped at Moby Disc in Canoga Park. I also remember you working at the Sherman Oaks location.

So, yes I kept my original two Shock singles until last year when i sold them to a collector. Nice hearing from you.
