In intervals, The Hong Kong Low’s in Chinatown was one of the most notorious venues for the LÁ’s underground music. The Hong Kong Café served as the center of the punk scene in the early 1980s as bands like the Bags, the Plugz, the Weirdos, Black Flag, and the Germs made a name for themselves staging near-riot performances at the Hong Kong Café. By the 1990s the Hong Kong Low also housed another completely underground and outsider emerging music genre: rock Angelino, the LÁ’s variant to rock en español. From 1992 to 1994, the Hong Kong Low Café became the central venue packed with of rockeros/as to listen to bands assembled in the most eclectic line-ups style-wise: alternativos, góticos, metaleros, skateros, puketos and of course urbanos. The urbanos and bands such as Eclipe, La Razzza, Sin Tregua, Cero Maldad and others were the most popular LÁ bands in the early 1990s until the ascent of el rock alternativo.
