From Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk:
"With the demise of the Masque, the MK1 punk bands scattered like roaches under a kitchen light, moving to whatever venues proved hospitable to the music. The Whisky and the Starwood on Santa Monica were safe havens until their respective closures in 1982 and 1981.
