Photographer Gary Leonard, who documented the Los Angeles punk scene in the late `70s and early `80s, wants to assemble veterans of that scene for a group photo on September 4th. The "gathering of the tribes" are to meet at Barnsdall Art Park in Hollywood for the shoot, which takes place as part of the inaugural ArthurFest. The shoot is titled "A Great Day in L.A.," in homage to Art Kane's "A Great Day in Harlem." That 1958 photo captured nearly 60 jazz greats together on a Harlem street.

"This is an L.A. scene that went by relatively unknown by the mainstream," Leonard commented to the Hollywood Reporter, "There was something important that happened, and it should be recognized." The shoot was suggested by Leonard's friend Paul Body (formerly a doorman at the Troubadour and a member of '70s blues act the Sheiks of Shake) after a 2004 benefit for Gil T., the ailing bassist for the Top Jimmy & the Rhythm Pigs. For the shot Leonard intends to involve musicians as well as "doormen, bartenders, crew members, club habitues, even journalists," commenting "It was a creative culture… It wasn't just musicians. If you were there, you knew it."
