Melanie Nielssen's US West Coast punk pioneers photos
La movida punk pionera estadounidense ha quedado casi reducida para el filtro mediático común al ambiente del centro de Nueva York en torno a la escena del CBGB (desgraciadamente reemplazado ya por una tienda de moda) o Warhol, con mención aparte para las bandas proto-punk de Detroit. Su evolución posterior tuvo otros escenarios destacados. Pero por aquel entonces en ciudades como la contracultural San Francisco antes de ser lugar de residencia de empresas informáticas o cerca de las colinas de Hollywood de Los Ángeles entre el suburbio y la sofisticación, también bullía un ambiente reseñable que quizás no dispuso de tanta atención internacional pero que celebró como el que más el impulso rebelde y produjo buenos tesoros sónicos que, con la excepción de los Dead Kennedys, han dejado poco poso en las crónicas del movimiento. Melanie Niessen retrató aquel ambiente festivo para su publicación, el fanzine Slash de Los Ángeles.

Later evolments of punk introduced some other places. But back then cities like countercultural San Francisco before being place of residence of tec companies or the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles when the suburb was not far from sophisticated areas, also witnessed one remarkable pioneer scene that perhaps, with the exception of the Dead Kennedys, didn't achieve much attention in the chronics. Melanie Niessen photographed that festive scene for her L.A. fanzine called Slash.
