Here is some information about this concert -

"llustrated with Gary Panter’s Screamers logo in repeat, a caricature of the band’s singer, Tomata du Plenty, who ran away to Hollywood aged 15 and later hitchiked to San Francisco and appeared in one of the Cockettes’ early shows (whose theatricality du Plenty carried into the Screamers’ live performances).

The synth-punk show they headlined was Bill Graham’s first at the California Hall, and the first ‘punk’ show to be boycotted due to the high ticket prices he was charging."


5-25-79: California Hall, SF. The Screamers play Bill Graham's "Nite of Electro Psycho Rock."
Lineup: Screamers, Units and Tuxedomoon.
Reviews: "Bill Graham has turned that Screamers gig we mentioned into a whole avant garde new wave show, featuring, along with the L.A.-based punk superstars, two San Francisco faves, Tuxedomoon and The Units. The show, Graham's first at California hall on Polk Street, will be on Friday, May 25, and may well indicate a willingness on the part of Graham's organization to start getting regularly involved promoting shows for unsigned local bands." -BAM magazine, 5-18-79
"The Screamers (billed as "a Nite of Electro Psycho Rock"), Tuxedomoon and the Units show at the California Hall (625 Polk)a few weeks ago was boycotted because of high prices ($6.50/$7.50) and the Bill Graham influence." -"Jill", Flipside Magazine
