California Mod Scene

ON Klub Timeline


Unfortunately I omitted the Fabulous Titans which played the ON a few times and were a successful Ska and Reggae outfit. A number of "Mod Nights" certainly are unaccounted for.

At this point, the scene-related events end for the most part; except for a handful of mod-related gigs (such as a revisit by the UT's using the cover name "L.A. Scooter Boys") the ON's reign as Mod Central had come to an end. It closed in 1984.
