As you know, we will be preforming on August 30th at the Claremont Museum of Art with Go Betty Go for Vexing: Female Voices of East LA Punk. We're excited and honored to be part of this awesome event!

Here's a little about the Vex:
"Vexing is an historical investigation of the women at the forefront of the punk rock scene in East L.A. in the 1970s and
'80s. The exhibition features photo, video and audio archives of the era as well as studio work encompassing painting,
installation, writings and performance.
Participants include musicians Alice Bag, Teresa Covarrubias, Angela Vogel, Monica Flores, musician and artist Exene
Cervenka, artists Diane Gamboa and Patssi Valdez, photographers Dawn Wirth, Louis Jacinto, Linda Posnick and Frank
Gargani, recording label founder of Fatima Records Yolanda Comparan Ferrer, printmakers Richard Duardo, Jessee
Vidaurre and John Miner, and filmmaker Jimmy Mendiola. Representing a newer generation of artistic producers
influenced by these women are musician/artist Lysa Flores, artists Shizu Saldamando and Sandra de la Loza, photographer
Chris TV, performance group Butchlalis de Panochtitlan, and bands The Sirens and Go Betty Go.
Research and reproduction support provided by the Chicano Studies Research Center at UCLA. This exhibition is cocurated
by Pilar Tompkins and Colin Gunckel. A catalog will accompany the exhibition, with essays by Josh Kun,
Michelle Habell-Pallán, Isabel Castro-Melendez, Colin Gunckel and Pilar Tompkins." More info
