- For far too long tapes, cassettes were the cheapest and fastest format that emerging bands used to share their music. A blank tape usually costed about a buck or even cheaper in the swap meet, eerrr I mean “Open Air Mall”. It wasn’t until the CD technology became more affordable (if you can call CD-Rs for $5 to $10 bucks each affordable) in the late 1990s that bands and artists began to hustle up their music offering up CD-Rs burned at home.
Here’s the tape demo titled “Quimico” by Síntoma Suicida, a short-lived punk trio que cantaba en español. The trio based in Huntington Park released this in 1998 and gigged around South East L.A. particularly in Las Pampas. Síntoma Suicida would eventually morphed into a psychobilly band called Dexentonados led by Chela and Jaime. Actually, several of the original songs in this tape would become part of the Dexentonados repertoire, pero más greaser and pyscho style. Btw, Dexentonados are still active.
Thanks to @r1ch4rd_s for sharing this LA underground jewel.
