Before January ends, here's the flyer for this January 1996 "Roc En Español" gig in "East Los." Yes, "East Los" is in quotes because this is an address in Boyle Heights and we all know the how deep and messy the territorial differences and claims between B.H and E.L.A. Anyhow, it seems like the organizers behind "No Que No" were cool with including a location in Boyle Heights East Los Califas. "NO que N/Calli de Xicano Expression," was a short-lived autonomous space on Whittier boulevard, which sought to create a community-based multimedia center with its own radio and studio. This tocada featuring Las 15 Letras & Los Olvidados was among the several events that were held at the location (which is now a Pentecostal store-front church). However, the barrio was a lot heavier then and from what I remember it, the local gang began to show up around the shows, so it became too hot to do shows there after a couple of month. Yet, the idea and concept of creating community-based multimedia centers in East Los Angeles is something that has been shared, endured, and continues to be realized by different organizations and entities. Among them @radio_espacio_ housed at @espacio1839 on La Primera Street and soon the Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory @thebhac will be launchings its own micro radio station staffed by community youth inside the historic Paramount Ballroom on César Chávez Avenue. So be on the lookout for that. #noqueno #boyleheights #eastLos #Califas #las15letras #losolvidados #rockangelino #1996 #rockarchivoLA (at Los Angeles, California)

Check out this flyer todo darksss for El Funeral in the OC put together by "Los Ahijados de la Muerte" featuring La Castañeda with Las 15 Letras desde Los Ángeles, por que pues Los Ángeles y el OC están medio lejos...Plus, Dracula was the resident DJ. This happened in the early months of 1996. February to be exact. The most intriguing part of this already amazing flyer is that the spot was and is an office building! So this gig took place in some medical office of some sort. Interesting...where's the craziest place where you have gone to a show? #lacastañeda #condadodelanaranja #oc #SantaAna #goticos #darks #elfuneral #las15letras #1996 #rockarchivoLA (at Santa Ana, California)

This is poster for one of the Las 15 Letras México Tour in 1999. In this show in Tlanepantla the band perfomed with Bim Skala Bim (Boston), Los Estrambóticos, Riesgo de Contagio, Salón Victoria, La Trenza de la Abuela and Hakuna Matana. This Mexico City tour was organized by @mariluz2012 who was the bands manager at the time. Mariluz worked at Epitaph Records and in time would co-found Sour Pop Records, a label that released several of the emerging pop-punk acts from Mexico including Bye Sami(Tijuana). The poster itself is pretty huge and it features all the bands that performed at this ska fest in the now mythic Arena López Mateos. If you want to see some footage of the epic concerts at La Arena, look for Sepultura’s 1989 performance at La Arean López Mateos on YouTube. 📸: @ellamaesinn thanks for sharing! #las15letras #arenalopezmateos bimskalabim #estramboticos #latrenzadelaabuela #salonvictoria #riesgodecontagio #Tlanepantla #losangeles #ska #1999 #rockarchivoLA (at Los Angeles, California)

Another Sunday at The Rotsy: Las 15 Letras • Pastilla • Fanatic • Dexentonados & Cafeína. April 2002. Check out all the over the top references to Mazinger Z. Why? Just because it was my favorite anime series growing up in Guadalajara. Btw, the new Maginzer Z movie is coming out next year straight from Japan. #las15letras #Pastilla #fanatic #dexentonados #caifeina #ska #indierock #psychobilly #punkrockdisco #mazinger #mazingerZ #westhollywood #theroxytheatre #sunsetStrip #2002 #eclectica #implacable #rockarchivola (at The Roxy Theatre)
