Middle Class

Middle Class were an American Punk Rock/Hardcore Punk band established in 1976 in Santa Ana, California. The band consisted of Jeff Atta on vocals, Mike Atta on lead guitar, Mike Patton on bass, and Bruce Atta on drums. The band achieved only local success, but has achieved slightly more success in recent years, enough to be included in the Hardcore Punk documentary "American Hardcore" in 2006. The band’s most popular release was the "Out Of Vogue EP", released in 1978, particularly known for the titular song “Out Of Vogue”.  In the mid-1980s the Atta brothers briefly formed a  band with former Bags vocalist Alice Bag, the Cambridge Apostles. Bassist Mike Patton went on to produce the Adolescents' first album, guitarist Mike Atta now owns and operates a vintage furniture and clothing shop in Fullerton, California called "Out Of Vogue," Jeff Atta runs an art gallery next door, and drummer Bruce Atta went on to UCLA to major in Philosophy and now teaches philosophy at Cal State University at Los Angeles. Middle Class reunited in 2010 and played sold out shows in Los Angeles in 2010 and 2011.
