The Germs July 2, 2009

The Germs emerged as one of LA's early punk bands in the late 1970s. Their 1977 single, 'Forming/Sexboy (live),' is generally regarded as the first punk record from Los Angeles. Their surviving members, fronted by singer/actor Shane West, have reunited for a handful of shows, supporting the new documentary/concert film, 'What We Do Is Secret.'
