UK Ambassadors (The Damned) - '?'
The Damned
have relocated to L.A. with no gig and little money. On this ambassador-ish tour, it wasn't uncommon for the Damned to verbally abuse journalists / fans / record company execs, set fire to things, trash hotels, and in general be a severe nuisance to just about anyone in authority. They did however show a bit of respect to some lucky unfortunates who open their homes to the band. Take for nstance a couple of the new breed of LA punks, Tomata Du Plenty and Gear from LA's prototype Synth punks The Screamers.
