It starts with the history of the Cuckoo’s Nest, a ramshackle Costa Mesa club that became a haven for O.C. punk bands like T.S.O.L, the Vandals, the Adolescents, Agent Orange, and Social Distortion to moor and display their loud, raucous music among the sea of pleasantries of Orange County, California, in the Seventies and Eighties.
