Chicana punk matriarch Alice Bag’s impact can be felt in later feminist acts like Bikini Kill and even viral sensation the Linda Lindas. In this episode, Alice traces her journey from a violent household in East LA to the stage of Hollywood’s legendary punk club The Masque, and talks about how growing up speaking Spanish, listening to rancheras and admiring chola girls’ style influenced her identity as a Latin punkera.
