The Tokyos

The Tokyos was late seventies San Diego D.I.Y. Punk Rockers. The Tokyos was one of the most obscure Punk bands of that period. They were exciting times. Bands seemed to be springing up all over San Diego, influenced by the flurry of new British and American Punk bands and taking advantage of the infrastructure that had been created by bands like the Zeros, Hitmakers, Penetrators and Injections. According to Joe Piper, San Diego guitarist and archivist extraordinaire, “The Tokyos were the ‘Fresh Young Face’ of 1978. They were the epitome of snotty, D.I.Y. aesthetic. Fun and photogenic, they wore their influences on their skinny sleeves with flair and a fair amount of Punk attitude.”
