- The Angry Samoans are an American punk band in the first wave of American punk. Formed in August 1978 in Los Angeles, California by early 70's rock writer "Metal" Mike Saunders and his brother lead guitarist Kevin Eric Saunders, along with co-conspirator Gregg Turner (another rock writer, for Creem Magazine during the late 70's-mid 80's) and original recruits bassist Todd Homer and drummer Billy Vockeroth. During 1978 both Turner and Saunders had played in the LA punk band VOM, which issued a posthumous 5-song ep LIVE AT SURF CITY on White Noise Records in early summer 1978. In 1969 in hometown Little Rock, Saunders and Samoans guitarist Kevin had cut a 14-song highschool garage-rock album I'M A ROADRUNNER MOTHERFUCKA (unissued until the late 90's) under a twice-used local band name the Rockin' Blewz, and in 1975 Saunders briefly played in an embroyonic backing line-up for 50's rockabilly cult artist Ray Campi before moving back to Arkansas for two years (pursuant to a second college degree). Bassist Todd Homer had played in 1977 Masque-era band Jesus Prick, and drummer Bill Vockeroth was a veteran of the Pasadena "backyard kegger party" cover band circuit. Shortly after the Angry Samoans formed, in late 1978 Saunders/Turner/Homer wrote a song about long-time LA/Hollywood scenemaker (and KROQ DJ, beginning in 1976) Rodney Bingenheimer titled "Get Off the Air. " Due to Bingheimer's strong influence with LA/Hollywood clubs, when the song was included on the band's first record Inside My Brain, this resulted in a "blacklisting" of the band at the Starwood/Whiskey and any other club in Hollywood/LA proper for about two years during mid 1980 - late 1982. The band's ostensibly offensive, politically incorrect attitude and (somewhat humorous) lyrical content was not a factor in this situation.
