The Outrage “Show Me” / “Light My Fire” on Soul City

Outrage Promo Photo

My friend Derek Taylor sent in this cool promotional photo of a group called Outrage, with a logo that could come from some ’80s hardcore poster.

The group had one single as Allen Fierro and the Outrage: “Show Me” b/w “Light My Fire” on Music City 45-870. The label misspells Allen’s name, it should have been Alan Fierro. Pamela Fierro wrote to me that the group was known as simply The Outrage, but for some reason the single added Alan’s name in front of the group’s.

Alan and Pamela Fierro were from Oakland; two other members came from Fremont.

Joey D wrote me that “the logo was drawn by Don Ryder who did a lot of flyers/posters for Bill Quarry’s Teen ‘n Twenties.” These shows took place in Hayward and San Leandro at the Rollarena and other venues. More info on Bill Quarry’s promotions and many examples of Don Ryder’s poster art can be seen at Bill Quarry’s Teens N’ Twenties site.
