Secret Hate Band Members Mike Davis Reggie Rector (RIP) Kevin Roach Rick 'June Bug' Selga 'Secret' Blak Davila Bob Schaeffer

Secret Hate's Vegetables Dancing cover re-released on Skunk Records Secret Hate's history begins in a house in Long Beach and a single guitar; passing it around until the day someone learned how to play 'Forming' by The Germs. That day marked the start of Secret Hate. Fast forward a few months and a few shows later, Secret Hate's practice spot was shared with The Minutemen who practiced before Secret Hate's time slot. Mike Watt liked what he heard and offered to do a record with Secret Hate under his new label, New Alliance. The record that was produced was Vegetables Dancing, a record that featured 'The Ballad of Johnny Butt'. After releasing Vegetables Dancing, Secret Hate went on to release songs for the compilations; Can't Argue with the Suckness and Hell Comes to Your House vol. 1. Much like the best of bands that Long Beach had to offer, Secret Hate faded into the drug scene of Long Beach and eventually broke up. Secret Hate guitarist, Reggie Rector was the only member to continue on with music after the break up, playing in Phantom Opera. Not too long after Phantom Opera broke up Reggie Rector was murdered in Long Beach. After a 13+ year break and much support, all the surviving members returned to their places with two new members, Bob Schaeffer and Blake Davila. Together they released Pop Cult Vomit in 2000. Only after a short period of time of reuniting, Secret Hate again broke up. After the break up Mike and Blake went on to play in Glue Factory with members of Falling Idols and Juice Bros.
