Studio Grand Presents the F Word: A Punk Feminist Party with Alice Bag, Frightwig, and Evelyn McDonnell
The psychthrash band Frightwig said it years ago: Wild Women Never Die.
Studio Grand Presents two pioneering feminist punk acts — L.A.’s Alice Bag and the Bay Area’s Frightwig who will play together for the first time ever. They will be joined by writer Evelyn McDonnell, biographer of another legendary all-women Californian band, the Runaways, for a night of literature and music celebrating “The F Word.”
ALICE BAG
Alice Bag was the lead singer of the Bags during the West Coast punk revolution of 1977. Her book, Violence Girl, From East LA Rage to Hollywood Stage is the story of her upbringing in East LA, her eventual migration to Hollywood and the euphoria and aftermath of the first punk wave. Violence Girl reveals how domestic abuse fueled her desire for female empowerment and sheds a new perspective on the origin of hardcore, a style most often associated with white suburban males.
Alice is a blogger, turned author and a former bilingual elementary school teacher. An outspoken activist, feminist and a self-proclaimed troublemaker, Alice brings her Chicana punk attitude to the printed page in her new book Violence Girl, East L.A Rage to Hollywood Stage.
F is for Frightwig, feminists, fun…
