A flyer for Nathan's first-ever basement show, held on February 1, 1992, under the venue's original name, 'The Forbidden Zone,' before it became 'The Sixth Dimension' and later 'Cell 63.' Featuring performances by Three Women in Black, Society Gone Madd!, and Cradle Cap, the event embodied the DIY spirit, offering free admission in exchange for decorations to transform the basement or $3 admission. The flyer also lists a hotline number used for booking bands and discovering upcoming shows, emphasizing the grassroots nature of the early Cell 63 community.

Society Gone Madd! was a hardcore punk band from the San Fernando Valley, Southern California, that started as a bedroom project in 1984 before fully diving into the scene by 1986. Known for their unwavering DIY ethos, they self-released all their records, booked their own shows, and built a reputation across California, playing everywhere from San Diego to San Francisco. They made it to the airwaves with a live set on KXLU. Over their 15-year run, they dropped five EPs and three full-length albums, including standout releases like What Do You Care?, Live on KXLU, and Save Room for Dessert. Society Gone Madd! stayed true to their roots until their final days in 1999, leaving a lasting mark on the SoCal punk scene.
