1979 LA'S LOCAL UNSUGNED BANDS Mark Levy

Los Angeles is presently the central focal point of record company A & R Personnel. Because of their interest in LA Based bands, more bands are becoming LA based. ... THE KATS are another strong force in the LA club-circuit. Led by super-dynamic lead singer FREDDY MOORE, this five piece new wave creative unit of energy has found the sound of the 80's. Their live show is a theatrical display of talent that draws the audience into an electrifying rage of excitement. We can surely look forward to hearing THE KATS on the radio very soon. ... Thanks to the following clubs, these bands and many more are given the opportunity to be heard. The STARWOOD, WHISKY, and DOUG WESTIONS TROUBADOUR in Hollywood, the BLA BLA CAFE, in Studio City, The BLUE LAGOON in Venice, the SWEETWATER in Redondo Beach, MADAME WONGS, and the HONG KONG CAFE in Chinatown, CLUB 88 in West LA, The CUCKOO'S NEST in Costa mesa, The GOLDEN BEAR in Huntington Beach, SQUEEZES in Riverside, and all the other clubs now opening to new wave music.
