Alice Bag
Alice Bag is a singer/songwriter, musician, author, artist, educator and feminist. She was the lead singer and co-founder of the Bags, one of the first punk bands to form in the mid-1970s in Los Angeles. She was featured in the seminal documentary on punk rock, The Decline of Western Civilization and went on to perform in other groundbreaking bands, including Castration Squad, Cholita, and Las Tres. She has published two books, including the critically acclaimed memoir Violence Girl and the self-published Pipe Bomb For the Soul, based on her experiences in post-revolutionary Nicaragua. Her influence on popular music is highlighted in the Smithsonian exhibit, American Sabor. Aliceâs debut solo album features all original material written by Bag and includes performances by some of her favorite LA-based musicians.
Alice Bag was the lead singer and co-founder of the Bags, one of the first punk rock bands to emerge from L.A., and Alice Bag is her first solo record in a 40-year career.
Lead singer Alice Bag was a more important figure on the Los Angeles music scene than the Bags' tiny discography would suggest.
