The Bags: C|D

Kinda like some of the more musical efforts from the 2016 album better than some Bags cuts. <ducks>

Alice Bag is on a US acoustic & book reading tour now. Coming to DC on the day of the Womens March, January 21

I won tickets to see Alice Bag in Philly this evening so despite the very late weekday time (the internet said 10:45, the venue had a sign saying 11:15 and it was actually a little after that when they hit the stage) I attended and I was glad I did. She was full of righteous fury even as she is past 50 and the crowd was a delightful mix of old punks and young feminists. She apparently spent a couple decades as a teacher and from the stage she uses her experience as a punk rock veteran and educator connecting with everyone in the very diverse crowd.

Alice was nice enough to sign a copy of her book and CD that came out last year on Don Giovanni Records. We spoke briefly about her labelmates Screaming Females, Decline.

I am super glad I went to the show, she was inspiring.
