The first Angry Samoans gig was on October 30, 1978, opening for Roky Erickson and the Aliens in Richmond, California . Erickson was sick and did not make the show (Aliens band members covered for his lead vocals) but remained a lifelong friend and inspiration to Turner. The next night, the Samoans played an “all-LA bill” at the Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco , opening for Shock and the Zeros .
