A Book Talk by Pablo Aguilar & Gerard Meraz
Location: The backyard party scene in Los Angeles during the 1980s was an integral part of the city’s vibrant youth culture and played a significant role in shaping the local music, fashion, and social scene.
These parties, often referred to as “backyard boogies” or “house parties,”
were informal gatherings held in residential neighborhoods, usually in the backyards of private homes.
These fliers serve as time capsules, transporting you back to a moment when the allure of the night was at its peak.From Backyards to Discotheques, the DJ’s, and promoters in LA thrived in the 1980’s.
We created a community that that should be acknowledged and recognized.
The Los Angeles promoters and DJ’s of this era are still going strong and continue to grow.
