[ Story 1 | Story 2 | Story 3 | Home ] My Gino's II story by Gerry Romo (Member of the Gino's Muppets) The Muppets were a party crew from East LA. I was attending Belvedere jr. High 9tht grade in good ol East Los Angeles. The year was 1978-79, we would go to
house partys hang out take and the the RTD to downtown to watch movies, and so
forth. Typical teenage stuff. I remember my Good friend Gabriel De Leon's On saturdays he would get ready to go out, and I mean get ready!
This guy, with all do respect, was a queen! So one day he ask Gabriel & I if we
had anything to do besides hang in out looking for a house party, so we looked
at each other and said NO! He asked if we wanted to go to Gino's? We said why
not, so we ran home to get ready. I think my brother Richard had been to Gino's
and I had to see to it see for myself. When we finally got to there, I couldn't
belive my eyes, the line to get to the place the line started on the side of the When we walk up to the club, which by
the way looked like a little hole in the wall, to my surprise it was not a hole
at all, This place was thriving with Bad Ass Music, pumped out by this DJ, who
by the way knew how to hustle, was none other than Michael Angelo, and the
people were in Harmony for one thing and one thing only to DANCE! That is when
I said I like this place! From there on out, I became a Gino's regular. I fell
in love with the music and the place! The rest is history! Long live underground disco, long live Ernie Calderon long live The Muppets!!!! [ Story 1 | Story 2 | Story 3 | Home ]
