Bands, Parties, People, Venues Photo List 1976-80

“Please investigate PUNK PIONEERS by photographer Jenny Lens, who captured the scene so perfectly.” — Henry Rollins, LA Weekly

ONLY photographed August 1976-June 1980

I photographed way more groups. But through the years, files went missing due to the sad fact I trusted the wrong people.

“They’ve been telling lies
Who’s been telling lies?
There are no angels
There are devils in many ways,”
~”The world’s a Mess, It’s in My Kiss,” from X, one of my top 3 bands (Ramones and Clash are my other two.)

I scanned most in this list, some before the slides/negs stolen. I have maybe only a couple images of one band or person or maybe hundreds or more (like the Clash, X and some more). That’s life.

I don’t consider how many but which photos are stellar! More is not better!! Da Vinci painted a lot of canvases yet he’s known for ONE painting. Which I don’t even like.
