REDD KROSS
Redd Kross is an American alternative rock band from Hawthorne, California, who had their roots in 1978 in a punk rock band called the Tourists, which was started by brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald while they were still in middle school. With the addition of friends Greg Hetson and John Stielow on drums, the band’s first gig was opening for Black Flag. (More from Wikipedia)
At about the same time that Dream Life by SS-20 was released, Sky Saxon also had an album out on Voxx Records called Private Party / Live at the Cavern Club (1986). The band name is given as Purple Electricity, consisting of Sky “Sunlight” Saxon (vocals), Jeff McDonald (bass), Steve McDonald (guitar) – both of Redd Kross – and Brian Corrigan (drums) of the Primates.
