60s Eastside Flyers / Band Cards / Photos

     The pages below contain scans of flyers promoting dances and concerts in which my teenage bands participated on the East Los Angeles circuit in the 1960s.  We started as The Escorts in 1963, became Mark & the Escorts in 1964, The Men From S.O.U.N.D. in 1966, and Nineteen Eighty Four in 1969.  The most popular bands of the time are to be found on these flyers which will give you an idea what the music scene was like in East L.A.'s golden age.  Many of the artists I've written about in my articles on this website can be found on these flyers.  I was able to pinpoint the years on the flyers that didn't specify them by cross referencing gig calendars I had from the era.  According to the calendars, we played many more gigs than these, but the following are the flyers I acquired at the time and saved.  At the end of page 9, I added a few flyers from the early 70s when I was a solo artist and a member of Tango, who recorded for A&M Records.  Page 11 features flyers I had saved from dances and shows in which my bands did not perform.  Starting on page 12, are miscellaneous Eastside flyers that have been sent to me by musicians of the period.  On the last "Eastside Flyers" page are scans of music charts from Los Angeles top 40 radio station KRLA, during the years of 1964-65.  Many Chicano and Eastside artists are on these charts.

     Also, below you will find another set of pages with scans of band cards from the East L.A. bands of the 1960s.  I've removed any address or phone number information for the privacy of current residents who may have the phone number now.  In some cases where the card was shiny or a bright color, I had to lessen the color in order to make the printing readable.  Some cards have comments below them.  A third set of pages below have photos and images of Eastside bands of the 60s.  Photos of Cannibal & the Headhunters, The Premiers, The Blendells, Ronnie & the Casuals, The Sisters, and my 60s bands, Mark & the Escorts and The Men from S.O.U.N.D. can be found on the main photo gallery.  Click on "Photo Gallery" on the main menu of the website to see those photos.
