===Early history (1975–1983)===
The roots of Angeles can be traced to 1975 when Dale Lytle and Dave Raudman started the band “Avante-Gard”, the band's name was changed to “English” in 1976, before finally settling with “Angeles” in mid-1977.<ref name="Lost Music of Hollywood">{{cite web | url=http://www.tunedloud.com/2019/02/28/the-lost-music-of-1970s-hollywood/ | title=THE LOST MUSIC OF 1970'S HOLLYWOOD | work=TunedLoud Magazine| accessdate=4 March 2019}}</ref> The band was named after the [[Angeles National Forest]] <ref name="the Metal Mag, Issue 21">{{cite web | url=https://issuu.com/themetalmag/docs/tmm21feb | title=The Metal Mag, Issue 27 | work=The Metal Mag Magazine, Issue 21, page 37| accessdate=9 September 2021}}</ref>. The initial line-up of Angeles was a five-piece: Dale Lytle on guitar, Dave Raudman on vocals, Terrell Hill on drums, Frank Galante on Bass, and Jen Nicia Alcivar on keyboard. On May 31, 1978, Angeles recorded a setlist of seven songs intended for their first-album; this cassette was cosidered lost for more than 40 years until it was discovered in 2019, and then released on vinyl in 2020. On October 4, 1980, Angeles headlined the Fall Rock Festival at [[Devonshire Downs]]; Ron Bushy, the original drummer of Iron Butterfly, joined the band onstage. On August 1, 1981, Angeles and [[Mötley Crüe]] co-headlined two concerts at [[Troubadour (West Hollywood, California)|The Troubadour]].
