Houston Punk Rock circa 1978

"No Talk in the 80's" (1978) - The Hates



"Also Watched by Night" (2005) - same.



And everything in between... Christian (Anarchy/Oppression) Arnheiter!

Personal history: The first time I encountered Christian, he and some punk-rock friends came into Star Laser Force (Houston's first "laser tag" place, and my first real on-site job, age 15). I liked punk rock by this time. We got to talking, and he took my address. And, no lie, one week later the "Panacea" LP arrived in the mail. I've run into him from time-to-time, not that I'm claiming we're close buddies or anything. Pasadena's Bark Hard also frequented Star Laser Force.
