March 2020 will be forever known as the time that life on earth changed and not just for a day or a few days but for forever. In the USA we will often hear about how celebrities and famous athletes are coping. This is not to say they’re not sacrificing or having to cope but what is more important to me are the stories of those who are not part of those elite groups. The playing field has been leveled and now, a good percentage of us, are on the same level. Rich, poor or in-between, we are all figuring this out one day at a time. I believe the first time I became aware of Lethal Amounts was at a show they were promoting a few years ago here in Los Angeles. I bought a shirt at that show and it was one that Lethal Amounts had put out so it became clear that not only were doing more than simply promoting live events. Whether it's live events featuring a wide variety of underground bands, a gallery show you won't find in most art gallieries throughout the world or party events such as Sex Cells or Summertramp, Lethal Amounts has gone from an idea to something uniquely LA. Danny Fuentes grew up in the east LA punk scene and started Lethal Amounts based on a simple idea and it grew from there. Every once in a while there's some controversy with a show he has had in his gallery, which be expected but he's weathered the storm. Even though the pandemic lockdown has presented a challenge, Danny has been able to maintain his vision and for that, Los Angeles should be grateful.
