Rhino 39, old LA punk/proto-/hardcore band

[Dansilverbabe]

oh shit was i way off 79' really..anyways pretty cool band!

[Dansilverbabe]

Does anyone know what year this was? I'm guessing late 80's.

I saw Rhino 39 play often at the Masque and had a giant crush on Dave - I even have a pic of us in an old photo book. I think I was maybe 15? I remember someone from Long Beach (Tina? I can't remember who it was...) telling me he had just died, and that he had been in hospital and I couldn't believe she didn't try to get a hold of me before he died so I could have said good-bye.

Everyone read this......it has to be known.....unbelievable!!!

My old bro, Lance M, just informed me a hippie band in Chicago stole Rhino 39's name. The band formed from another ripped off name, Vicious Circle and Threat, which I'm guessing is half of Minor Threat's name. What a bunch of kooks! Please send them an email and tell these metal head fools they suck and they stole a great punk band's name. here's the rip offs email address..... metal@rhino39.net

Bratsj - I'm sorry for your loss.

I grew up hearing Rhino 39 on Rodney on the Roq. When I finally was able to see the band at Atlantic theater in Long Beach your brother had alreay passed.

One of my favorite bands of that time.

1st Dangerhouse Recoeds 45 I ever bought!!! Xerox is still my favorite track though.

NICE!! Thanks so much, never seen any live footage of these guys. very cool!

[roosterIX]

This is really kewl!!! i was reading a Glenn Danzig interview and he mentioned that these guys were a very good band that didn't get the credit they deserved. I'm gonna go look for more stuff by them!!

[bratsj]

Wow! My sister-in-law let me know about this video. It's very emotional for me to see my little brother (David Bratton--Dave Dacron) singing. Too bad the singing's not live. We miss you Dave! ♥

[centerrightpunk]

loved his singing, and the lyrics were great. thanks for commenting! RIP Dave.

Classic video, but if you like Middle Class, watch my videos of them They are LOSSLESS CD quality, like 35 MB files. WMV twice as big as flac. I even have their pre-out of vogue stuff.

[VFL83]

Fucking love this band. Rhino 39 and Middle Class are definitely the first two bands to get the hardcore punk ball rolling.

[badbrains82]

just a reference for other viewers check out middle class out of vogue also another great proto-hardcore band

[Stumblefuck]

Man how come live footage with no sound? Cool band tho'.

[centerrightpunk]

i honestly don't know. i uploaded it from a discog cd of theirs.

[fkcody]

Dude this is fucking killer, thanks for the post

[theonlytruepunk]

Doesn't anyone have live footage to go along with video??? Fuuuuuuck! I want to hear the live version.

[centerrightpunk]

good luck finding any footage of them with actual sound. it's more than likely VERY rare.

[jp28hc]

IMO the Dangerhouse version is better. Damn fine stuff anyway. One THE great LA bands

Dave Dacron RIP

[centerrightpunk]

? this is the dangerhouse version.

[greyone]

[centerrightpunk]
