"Chicano Rock" - PBS will again be the presenter of this rocumentary that features Eastside L.A. bands and music personalities of the past at 9 p.m., Dec. 14, 2008 on PBS, KCET-Ch. 28.
A "Thanks" goes out to LHS alumnus Max Uballez for this information- he's also involved in the production.
This documentary is based on a major reunion performance earlier this year at the historic Million Dollar Theater downtown on Broadway. Lincoln's own alumni, Rudy and Steve Salas, were in the Eastside music scene since they were able to carry a tune and stand in front of a mike. The later-formed band, Tierra, went on to entertain a solid foundation of music fans, initially in the southwest U.S. and spreading over the years. They are among the several featured performers who bring back a part of the past for us to revisit.
