    Welcome to L.A. TACO’s daily news briefs, where we bring our loyal members, readers, and supporters the latest headlines about Los Angeles politics and culture. Stay informed and look closely.

    —A Neo-Nazi Black Metal concert called "Rise of the Black Sun" was reportedly held in East L.A., featuring band members with anti-Semitic shirts and band names like the 'Blue Eyed Devils.' L.A. TACO received multiple reports of a truck fire that occurred in front of the venue located at 3612 E 1st Street in unincorporated East Los Angeles, allegedly started by anti-nazi local punks. L.A. County Fire confirmed to L.A. TACO they were called to put out a truck fire that occurred at approximately 10:07 PM. Street vending and social justice activist Edin A. Enamorado posted a video on his Instagram account where he confronted the performing bands, who backtracked on their racist ideologies in person, but later admitted to it via an Instagram comment.
