April 1977: When LA Punk Exploded, Punk Pioneers Photos by Jenny Lens, MFA

Punk came together one amazing week, April 1977. Month started w/Runaways, April 1, then April 14-18: Television, Blondie, Iggy, Bomp Records Store, Germs, Weirdos, Zeros, Damned, Screamers and more. NO ONE has documented this memorable week. Enjoy!
