Description
Alice Bag, of seminal punk band The Bags, will read from her new memoir Violence Girl: East L.A. Rage to Hollywood Stage, A Chicana Punk Story, and perform songs as they occur in the context of the reading. There will be a short question & answer session to follow performance.Don't miss this one-of-a-kind event!
Here is a life of many crossed boundaries, from East L.A.’s musica ranchera to Hollywood’s punk rock; from a violent male-dominated family to female-dominated transgressive rock bands. Alice’s feminist sympathies can be understood by the name of her satiric all-girl early Goth band Castration Squad. Violence Girl takes us from a violent upbringing to an aggressive punk sensibility.
This time, a difficult coming-of-age memoir culminates with a satisfying conclusion, complete with a happy marriage and children. Many personal photographs energize the text in remarkable ways.
