[2] Many California punk bands frequently performed there, including the Dickies, X, Germs, Bags, the Screamers, Black Randy and the Metrosquad, the Alley Cats, the Go-Go's, Suburban Lawns, the Mau-Mau's, the Weirdos, the Zeros, the Avengers, the Dils, the Skulls and the Controllers.

Several bands rented practice space at the Masque, including the Motels, the Controllers, Secrets, the Skulls and the Go-Go's.

[4] Bands appearing at The Other Masque included the Dead Boys (with local musicians backing Stiv Bators including Nicky Beat of the Weirdos), the Cramps (after moving from New York City), Wall of Voodoo, the Flyboys, the Crowd, the Mutants, Dead Kennedys, The Red Army, X, Germs and others.

The loss of the Other Masque resulted in punk bands having to move to the Sunset Strip clubs like the Whisky a Go Go or Gazzari's.

[5] The music video for "Perfect" by the Smashing Pumpkins, filmed in 1998, featured The Masque and its original graffiti.
