"L.A.'s Original Rude Boys"

"Like all newly formed bands go, they played lots of gigs, and lots of parties; then they played more and more. Before they knew it, they became a very tight sounding band. In late 1982, they had a residency at the Roxy, and many say that’s where the band learned to be better than good, they became great.
"Their years at the Roxy were special by any account. The vibe they brought to L.A. provided a shift in the social paradigm of the time. In that moment, music became life, and the color barriers that plagued our world were smashed as black and white fans came together from neighboring cities and counties to simply have some fun and make friends."

Jimmy Alvarez at OC Weekly sings the praises of the Untouchables.
