The Germs were a punk rock band from Los Angeles in the late 1970s. Their 1977 single, Forming/Sexboy (live), is generally regarded as the first punk record from Los Angeles. The band started when Jan Paul Beahm and Georg Ruthenberg decided they should start a band after being kicked out of University High. They named themselves 'Sophistifuck & The Revlon Spam Queens,' with Beahm on vocals, Ruthenberg on guitar, an early member called Dinky on bass, and Michelle Baer playing drums.
