The Gizmos

The Gizmos were a proto-punk band that formed in [[Bloomington, Indiana]] in 1975. Both leading members, Eddie Flowers and Rich Coffee would move to Los Angeles in the late 1970s and become active in the post-punk, underground rock scene there. Flowers would start Crawlspace with ex-members of the Lazy Cowgirls in 1985, starting out in a punk rock vein but increasingly growing more experimental as time went on. Coffee sang and played in Thee Fourgiven and The Tommyknockers, influenced by late 1960s pre-punk [[hard rock]] bands like the MC5 and The Doors as well as more recent acts like The Cramps and The Gun Club. Both bands were associated with the Sympathy For The Record Industry Records record label.
