This week, Mod Marty attempts to unravel the mystery of the elusive Phast Phreddie The Boogaloo Omnibus – the cool cat who started L.A.‘s BACK DOOR MAN mag in ’75, setting the stage for punk and new wave in the late ’70s. Phreddie’s written for SLASH, LA WEEKLY, NEW YORK ROCKER, ROCK SCENE, and even BILLBOARD. He’s done it all – managed acts, wrote songs, sang in a band. He’s a poet, painter, and a connoisseur of fine ’60s soul records. Total legend!
