After a successful two years, The Screamers found themselves rapidly disintegrating as a band, causing Paul to leave in January 1980, and go on to play with Nervous Gender (with ex member of The Germs, Don Bolles) and Geza X and the Mommymen.
Founded in 2003, their influences include original Los Angeles punk bands such as Black Flag, The Germs, Girls Aloud, The Weirdos, and X.
Yes L.A. was a one-sided silkscreened picture EP released in 1979 (see 1979 in music) on Dangerhouse Records (catalog number EW-79) featuring Los Angeles based punk rock bands Black Randy and the Metrosquad, Eyes, Bags, The Alley Cats, X and Germs.
His productions of "Holiday in Cambodia" for the Dead Kennedys and "Lexicon Devil" for The Germs separated California's punk sound from others at the time with its eccentricity, humor and spunk, making Los Angeles very different from the scenes in New York or London.
Nicky Beat told the authors of the Germs biography Lexicon Devil that he had stolen the opening drum beat on "Circle One" from the Allman Brothers song "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed".
