Live At Raji’s

Vol. 1

T.O.N.

If you were in Hollywood , California in the late eighties and possessed any rock sensibilities, I’m sure you found yourself occasionally at Raji’s. At least that’s what Dobbs, the big, hairy owner, wants you to believe with this musical anthology. I’m inclined to agree! This is a raucous testament to what Raji’s stood for. Tracks by Bulldozer, Top Jimmy, The Leonards, Joyride, Hangmen, Thelonious Monster and Dream Syndicate are welcomed here. This is a defining piece of work that praises a dying breed of beings. So cooool! T.O.N. Records, 6201 Sunset Blvd. 77, Hollywood, CA 90028
