about
Formed in 1982, Stukas Over Bedrock was one of the pioneering bands in the Los Angeles underground music scene. They made their first musical mark with the 'Life Like Yogi' ep, which received airplay on the "Rodney on the ROQ" show on the influential Los Angeles radio station KROQ. The song quickly rocketed to Number 5 on the Rodney Bingenheimer (KROQ)/Flipside radio chart. The ep is now unavailable, as a disgruntled former guitarist reused the masters after leaving the band. Eschewing the traditional club circuit, the Stukas staged their own shows with local legends Uh and Hated Principles. The Stukas were soon proclaimed "The beer and cereal lovers" punk band and the foremost purveyors of Pre-Cambrian rock. Their distinctive live shows combined stop-and-go thrash mayhem, political calumny, heavy-metal satire, questionable tuning techniques, impersonations of Fred Flinstone and Bob Halford, one instance of simulated on-stage sex (thanks, Traci) and a small but respectable riot in the bowels of the Cathay deGrande. Three members of the band lived in a Melrose area house which became a crash-pad known as Stuka House, where friends from Santa Monica and elsewhere would take drugs and fight with their girlfriends before going to shows in Hollywood. Eventually embracing the traditional club circuit, they played with bands such as Theolonius Monster, Toy Dolls, The Beatles, Radwaste, Angry Samoans, Wasted Youth, Peter Frampton, MIA, Led Zeppelin, The Nip Drivers, and D.R.I.
