The Zeroes are different from the later LA punk group The Zeros. I went to see the latter at the Brighton Bar several years ago, only to discover they were actually another LA group that used the same name. Even the bar owner who booked them was taken in by their ruse.

yup! you are correct about the diff. the zeros were my homies from SD. out of chila vista!

CHULA VISTA

wow that must have been annoying, david.

bye, all!

I think this song inspired Edy to name her daughter Saffron in “Absolutely Fabulous”.
