The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Their rough, occasionally ragged style is tempered by an awareness of their limitations, the tart blend of Joe Baiza's guitar and Steve Moss' tenor, and a particular flair for slow grooves such as 'Gaetasaurus'." [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Battle of Los Angeles</span> Anti-aircraft shelling during WWII against an imagined attack

The Battle of Los Angeles, also known as the Great Los Angeles Air Raid, is the name given by contemporary sources to a rumored attack on the continental United States by Imperial Japan and the subsequent anti-aircraft artillery barrage which took place from late 24 February to early 25 February 1942, over Los Angeles, California. The incident occurred less than three months after the U.S. entered World War II in response to the Imperial Japanese Navy's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and one day after the bombardment of Ellwood near Santa Barbara on 23 February. Initially, the target of the aerial barrage was thought to be an attacking force from Japan, but speaking at a press conference shortly afterward, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox called the purported attack a "false alarm". Newspapers of the time published a number of reports and speculations of a cover-up to conceal an actual invasion by enemy airplanes.
