Women in Punk- an interview with Alice Bag by Cory Vielma on WFMU

A quote from WFMU's interview by Cory Vielma...
'Alice Bag (who goes by Alicia Velasquez these days) was one of the main figures in the first wave of punk. As a member of ground-breaking bands like The Bags and Castration Squad in Los Angeles, she paved the way for an entire generation of female musicians inspired by her ferocious performance style, her confrontational, provocative attitude and of course, her great and powerful music. She remains committed to her punk roots, and her website is an invaluable treasure trove of flyers, photos and interviews with many important figures from the early days of punk. As if that wasn’t enough, she is also a talented author, and her new book Violence Girl will be released this autumn on Feral House.Alice Bag (who goes by Alicia Velasquez these days) was one of the main figures in the first wave of punk.
