Image
Adam wilsons book on Kaos 13 gang from 1983. Adam tells the story of Kaos 13 the punk street gang i founded in 1983. Its a great read. With charicters like Payaso, RJ, Thumper. The tragic but comical story of Hollywood punk rock in the early 80s. After Kaos 13 i started the punk band False Alarm wich featured Fat Mike of NOFX & Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys. There are many honerary members of KAOS 13 like Cheetah Chrome, Fat Mike, Dee Dee Ramone, Paul Kostabi. Kaos 13 has Chapters in LA,  New York and south of the boarder. Nick Zed , Danny Diablo and Griz are members that exist today and are involved in the arts there are many others like myself and Adam Wilson himself. El Duce of the Mentors was my favoret member joining officialy only days before his death. I hope you enjoy the read.........SAFETY IN NUMBERS BY ADAM WILSON. 

FALSE ALARM INTERVIEW WITH BRENT (ALDO) ALDEN 2010

Image
False Alarm is  a group which have played together some years and in the latest 14 years. They started earlier and Brent is the one who is explaining all this for us. July-2010   History?  -THERE ISN'T MUCH HISTORIE BEFORE1996. THE BAND FIRST ORIGANATED IN 1982 BUT WAS BROKEN UP BY 1983 AND NEVER DID VERY MUCH UNTIL 1996 WHEN WE PUT A NEW FALSE ALARM TOGETHER AND STARTED PLAYING SHOWS. ONE INTERESTING THING IS MY OLD FRIEND FAT MIKE PLAYED IN THE BAND FROM 82 - 83. WHEN WE PUT THE NEW FALSE ALARM BACK TOGETHER WE HAD ARE NEW  RECORD " LEARNING IS IMPOSSIBLE" OUT BY 1998 THEN THE BAND BROKE UP AGAIN UNTIL 2001. WHEN WE BEGAN WORK ON ARE SECOND RECORD WERE DYLAN TOOK THE VOCALS AND STILL PLAYED LEAD GUITAR. WE RECORDED THAT ONE IN 2001 - 2002 BUT IT DIDNT GET RELEASED UNTIL 2006. THAT WAS A GREAT RECORD. THE LEGENDARY CHEETAH CHROME AND RICK WILDER BOTH PLAYED ON THE ALBUM AND DEE DEE RAMONE PAINTED THE ALBUM COVER WITH PAUL KOSTABI WHO HAD ALSO JOINED THE BAND AND PLAY

Hi my name is Meg Maheu. Today is Fathers day 2018. I thought I would share one of my fathers poems called "To My Children"            by Henri Maheu.......So sweet so calm their world, so wonderful their simplicity. O yes, O Lord they are Yours, the fruit of our love. Protect them in this world of disorder, protect them in this world of confusion. O yes, O Lord they are yours. Your act of creation, now and forever, an act of your love. O yes, O Lord, They are yourself living Yourself and yours. Protect them, Lord, in this world of wars; Protect them You must, for they are yours.

SOME PICTURES OF KAOS 13 AND FRIENDS IN THE 80's ..WHAT FOLLOWS ARE SOME PARTS TAKEN FROM THE WRITTING OF BRENT ALDEN AND NIGHT OWL THE FIRST AND THIRD MEMBERS OF KAOS 13 IN THE 1980S Punk gangs and bands like Suicidal Tendencies and Circle One were the proto types for gangster rap as much as Chuck Berry was the proto type for Rock n' Roll. KAOS 13 was a big influence on gangster rap too, the gang starting in 1983. KAOS, we were a punk gang we didn't flash gang signs at people all that much or organize drive by shootings. We were punk gangsters and we wern't even like a lot of other punk gangsters. We had a great sense of humor about ourselves, and about being in a gang, especially Brent Alden and Payaso, who had a never ending supply of practical jokes.
