Pearl!

The folks at Wolfgang's Vault have unearthed a rare 1979 live show by San Francisco punk rock band Pearl Harbor and the Explosions. As Spock would say, "fascinating..."

Lead vocalist Pearl E. Gates had previously been with The Tubes. After the original Explosions band broke up, she married Clash bass player Paul Simonon, and years later started a second edition of the band which still occasionally plays.
