[bombshellmarina]

thanks for putting these Beach Blvd. vids up...I'm a dj in L.A. and I spin this comp all the time!

[dodgedartcm]

[dodgedartcm]

@bombshellmarina you're welcome! I played bass in the Simpletones during all of these shows so some guy filmed the shows and gave me the videos and i edited and posted them all.......

Im sorry for Riks death. He was a true legend from west coast early scene. Anyway, from what year is this gig?

[bettymariebalboa]

1991

Ya I knew about Rik's death, didnt know about the singer of the Simpletone's though. So I guess its safe to assume that since two of the bands arent together anymore that they cant have anymore true reunion shows. Ive seen the crowd a few times though.

[punkazzgearhead]

Thanks for uploading all this rare footage! Do they still do these reunion shows?

[dodgedartcm]

Well, Rik L Rik is died of a brain tumor about 8 years ago and Snikers, singer of the Simpletones over dosed in 1997 but The Crowd still play around

RIP Rich and Snickers!

[dodgedartcm]

yep, RIP. my sister in law used to go out with Rich and I played in The Simpletones with Snickers. Two of a kind there.........

[Sjobeck7]

Yup, and Williams' too... Story goes the singer was flirting with his women... and james dern near put him 6 ft under... for real!

me thinks it was at old world on beach bvd. H.B cali... and me thinks that rik l rik was beat to a pulp that night by James H*****

[AliAssaSeen]

James was Buddy Hintons brother.......right?? :) That night just confirmed what an asshole James really was.
