No soy monedita de oro.
Yes, it’s the Cholita press kit from the 90’s! #JustUnearthed #QueercoreTimeCapsule
Included: 8x10 glossies, Fun Facts about Cholita, Letras, Cholita vs. The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Cholita Pre-Sat Exam, Troy Cafe Slam book, raunchy interview with Ben Is Dead plus a naughty coloring book section. This band was so much fun!
“I still feel the need to rebel against patriarchal institutions and misogynistic, homophobic and transphobic attitudes. I try to speak out against inequality and small-mindedness at every opportunity…If anything, time and age have sharpened both my vision and my tongue.”

Incorporeal Life
Words and Music Alice Bag
Imagination’s boundless
It’s a wonderful ride
But you have been pulled in
By its hypnotic tide
Heroic role play
Escaping strife
A masked crusader in
Your in-cor-po-real life
Say “see you later” to your incorporeal life
Say “see you later” to your incorporeal life
Say “see you later” to your in-cor-po-real life
You live light years from here
In another world
So deep in a fantasy
But you’re a real live girl
Go on indulge your senses (lower defenses)
Skip the simulation
Dare to live in your body (you won’t be sorry)
it’s a thrilling sensation
In-cor-po-real (repeats)
Get your head out of your ass, #MetGala. Here is some punk style from East LA, 1977. #LosAngeles #Punk #NowSashayAway
Little Hypocrite, a new song I just wrote for The She*Riffs. Check out the demo version here. First 100 downloads are free!
I’m calling you out, little hypocrite
You think you’re so stealth, little hypocrite
You’re fooling yourself, little hypocrite
But it’s over, it’s over…
Modern Day Virgin Sacrifice is a song I originally wrote for another of my bands. I dusted it off and here is the She*Riffs’ version. Words and music, Alice Bag. Vocals and lead guitar: Dana S.; Vocals and bass: Chela Mischke; Drums: Miss Amy Young; vocals and rhythm guitar: Alice Bag.
Lyrics:
Stare at your reflection
Looking for perfection
But a sharp appraisal will reveal
You have fallen short of the ideal
I can tell you now
I can tell you now
That road will get you lost
I can tell you now
I can tell you now
It isn’t worth the cost.
You’re indoctrinated
A monster must be sated
And you my little lamb, my little girl
Are ripe to feed the greed of this old world
Look at you
Sugar and spice
You’re a modern day virgin sacrifice.
Look beyond the mirror
It’s time to face your fear
You must see their deception
Recognize your perfection
I can tell you now
I can tell you now
That road will get you lost
I can tell you now
I can tell you now
It isn’t worth the cost.
Little girl take my advice
Don’t be a modern day virgin sacrifice
A sneak peek of our new band, the She*Riffs. Band lineup: Alice Bag, guitar and vocals, Dana Stern, lead guitar and vocals, Chela Mischke, bass and vocals, Miss Amy Young, drums and screams.
No Means No!
Words and music Alice Bag
She wears stilettos and a tight, tight skirt
She smiles at you, she’s such a flirt
Still no, no, no means no!
You paid for dinner, she made dessert
Those tender kisses, how they made you hurt
But no, no, no means no!
You were both drinking, you walked her home
She let you in, you were alone
She passed out
You pressed your luck
But she pressed charges when she woke up, YOU STUPID FUCK!
No means no!
YOU STUPID FUCK!
No means no!
Now in the courtroom the judge walks in
She wears stilettos, ironic spin
You beg for mercy and leniency
But she responds “That could be me!”
Then she says “no, no, no means no!”
“Después de treinta anos la rebelión tiene que ser reinventada por la juventud de la nueva generación…me gustaría que la juventud me brinde un desafío, que no me ofrezcan lo familiar, lo que me guste inmediatamente. Nada que me ha hecho crecer a sido confortable o familiar. Las ideas progresivas, como el art progresivo a veces afrenta al espectador precisamente porque son ideas nuevas, no familiares. Si todas tus amistades visten como tú, escuchan la misma música que tú y piensan como tú seria como vivir en el vacío. La vida es más emocionante cuando estamos en la posición incómoda de tener que evaluar nuestras creencias. Esto nos hace fortalecer nuestras creencias o deshacernos de ellas.” - Alice Bag, interview with Exilio Interior
