We revisit the Los Angeles punk scene again this week. Geza (real first name) was a sought after producer in the late 70’s early 80’s. He adopted the ‘X’ at the end of his name as a tribute to Malcolm X. He produced albums for many well know punk bands such as Dead Kennedys, The Germs & Black Flag & played in The Bags (a female fronted group who wore bags over their heads).
In 1982 he released his only solo album ‘You Goddamn Kids’ with the Mommymen providing instrumental backing who Paul Roessler of The Screamers, and later Nervous Gender played keys for.
Here’s a video clip of Geza X & The Mommymen performing Isotope Soap on New Wave Theatre.
