... the other Black experience
Greets everyone! I guess I have been a member for a few months(?) and I checked out the forums and such, wanted to say hello to everyone. I am a traditional skinhead who loves his reggae, ska, oi!, punk and northern soul. I am single, currently a nutritionist, journalist and a student living in Riverside, California (I am going to say Los Angeles because I am there quite a lot and it is nearby) So far I like this site and it sounds like everyone is awesome! It would be pretty cool to find people in the area, as well as read up on a lot of different topics on this site!
I did not see too much on black traditional skinheads except for this one article and it was pretty cool. Anyways, guess I am the only one? Haha, so...hello! Feel free to hit me up with any questions you got!

Permalink Reply by Rosenda on Wait.....did you Monk say Akbar? That little place near Silverlake on Sunset and Fountain? I didn't know they had shows there, how do often do they do that? Have not been there in awhile, I used to live down that area.
Permalink Reply by M. Koehler on Nein. I am still getting used to the areas and places to explore, but it sounds like a place worth checking out!

Welcome!
Not the only one. You ever go to shows at the Akbar?
Permalink Reply by M. Koehler on Greetings! I like to listen to The Skinflicks, 4-Skins, Cock SParrer, Bad Manners, Stomper 98, Emschekurve 77, Loikaemie, Condemed 84 and many other bands!

Oi! what are some skinhead bands you listen to?
Permalink Reply by Yank on Great bands all. Saw sparrer a few weeks ago, it was great. Business and PTTB were around that weekend too, but had to pass for work.
Rosenda,
they have a rocksteady night every monday, looks like a smart crowd.
You live in LA too? Are either of you in the scooter scene?
I'm in SF, moving down there in a few months, pretty excited.

I'm aware there's a SHARP group, but I made one that's more general for those of us not involved in that kind of thing.
