*** Los Angeles Hardcore Punk live in Indonesia in 2009 ***

Damn,

currently posted the "RIOT '77" video of TOTAL CHAOS,and then found a great live video of them playing their old tyme classic "SQUATTERS SONG" live in 2009 over there in Indonesia. It's a great live performance as well as a great song (with some not that creative or anyhow important lyrics, haha, but damn it, just let us forget about it at this moment in time;-)...). It's on the "PATRIOTIC SHOCK" record that this L.A. Punk legends released in 1995 (so one year before the "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY" hit the lights, and so you should be able to hear what I mean when I say that the "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY" songs are quite different then their usual songs) again on "Epitaph Records". Yes, again, there was a time when this label used to release good and real Punkrock music. The "PATRIOTIC SHOCK" record was and is more in the usual but also damn good Hardcore Punk style of TOTAL CHAOS, and lyrically it was beside a lot of other stuff very outspoken against Nazi faggots and White Power scum, with songs like "THE END OF WHITE SUPREMACY" and "KILL THE NAZIS", and that are some great songs with damn good lyrics. To lyrics like "PATRIOTIC SHOCK" and "UNITE TO FIGHT"... okay, that's what you basically can expect from a Hardcore Punk band of that type. No, that's not meant negative anyhow, but it's just not that good and exciting at all, so live with it. Ha, by the way, I think now I'm totally walking the fences for a lot of guys, with paying tribute to the ARRESTING OFFICERS as well as TOTAL CHAOS, haha;-), that's great!!! To all the guys who are now runnng amok infront of their screens, from the left to the right: Fuck off!!! That's how itis, real life!!! So, yes here it comes the announced live video of "SQUATTERS SONG". Great video, they really unleash a brutal tempest of Hardcore Punk!!! Ah, and as usual, first the lyrics (even you don't have to read them at all, haha;-)...), then the video!!! So, now just enjoy it!!! Cheers & Oi!

TOTAL CHAOS - "SQUATTERS SONG"

We are the Punks of L.A.

brought together in unity

We live in the squats or a shit-hole place

But that's the only home we know

Together we take the streets

For some little change

If shit comes down tonight

We must throw down and fight

We must bond together

Survival is the only key

We swill some beers tonight

And hit the streets in unity

STANDING IN THE DRINKING FIELD

OR IN THE DRINKING AISLE

GETTING FUCKED TOGETHER I LOVE THIS LIFE

KEEPING OUR HEAD ABOVE THE SHIT

A LIFE YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND

WE ARE THE PUNKS OF L.A.

BROUGHT TOGETHER IN UNITY

TOTAL CHAOS - "SQUATTERS SONG"

Oi! Oi! We're the boys, we're the ones that make the noize! Oi! Oi!

Hey folks,

damn it, now it is Punkrock time, like it or not, haha;-)!!! You get now a video clip of the U.S. american Hardcore Punk band TOTAL CHAOS. Usually known for harsh and pissed off and aggressive Hardcore Punk that carries on the tradition of all the U.K. '82 Hardcore Punk bands and bringing this sound again and again into the present time- and I am a fan of them-, is my total favorite record of them the one that was a little bit different. I am talking about their fantastic "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY" full length, released by "Epitaph Records" back in the long, long gone days of the year of 1996. (Damn it, I am getting old, not enough that now-a-days I have a history by myelf, but I also have a history with records, damn it, haha;-)!!!) Yeahr, and this wasn't the first record of TOTAL CHAOS and yes, they are still around and very active today. Ah, and yes, 'once upon a time' also "Epitaph Records" use to release good bands and records and real Punkrock. Like I've already said was (and still is) the "ANTHEMS FROM THE ALLEYWAY" record a little bit different compared with their other releases back then and now. They set the Hardcore Punk aside and delivered us with this damn great record one hell of a hot and fiery Streetpunk record build upon a massive and very present 1977 Punkrock background. Great, and here and their also some classical Oi! influences were to hear. I always loved this record and I still love it today, it giving me really so much, and yes, if you can still get it then you should really get it if you're a fan of amazing Streetpunk and good old 1977 Punkrock, and it's still fresher and better than the very most of the Streetpunk stuff that is released today. Ah, and also a lot of damn good lyrics they have settled together back in the days, far away from this 'political' conspiracy buillshit they use to preach today. Now, the most important thing, you get the video of their great hymn "RIOT '77", and before you do get the video you do get the lyrics of this song. A great tribute to the birth days of Punkrock!!! Ah, and as usual, first the lyrics, then the video. That's all, so yes, watch the video, listen to this larger than life anthem, and just enjoy it!!! Cheers & Oi!

1977 - when Punk first came alive

Part of the Class Rebellion - of the Misfits of that time

People needed solutions - from the boredom of their lives

We still feel the brilliance - of the Punk scene of that time

IT'S A RIOT '77 - AND PUNK IS STILL ALIVE
IT'S A RIOT '77 - AND THE SPIRIT STILL SURVIVES

IT'S A RIOT '77 - WHEN THE SCENE IS OUUTA CONTROL

IT'S A RIOT '77 - WE SAY LONG LIVE PUNKROCK & ROLL

Now it's 1996 - and things are outta control

Punk has come alive - in a way we couldn't know

I can't say how it survived - but I knew it always would

Rocking out in a Punkrock band - singing songs, we always loved
