The Imperial Dogs: ' Sonic Power & Wincing Loserdom"!

"Swastikas draped over their amps, leather pants sliding terrifyingly lower and lower from all the sweat, the unsigned, unrecorded, un-managed, unkempt and uninhibited Imperial Dogs pound their way through a heavy set at an unfeeling gymnasium in California," is the description of the Imperial Dogs' Live! In Long Beach (October 30, 1974) DVD found here at the Weirdo Records retail site, adding, "A missing link between the Stooges/MC5 and Kim Fowley/L.A. punk, the Imperial Dogs show off both the sonic power of relentless practicing and the wincing loserdom that was punk's social status in the mid-'70s."
