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…

“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 The full interview is posted in its entirety here. http://exiliointeriorzine.blogspot.com/2011/11/alice-bag-despues-de-30-anos-la.html

A song I wrote for our new band, the She*Riffs. We’ll be playing our first gigs in April in Phoenix. Get Out! words and music by Alice Bag BooHoo, he started to cry Bam, came the punch in the eye You provoke him he says Don’t you know how he gets? Thud, when your head hits the wall Oh no, you’re starting to fall Why do you push him away? You know you want him to stay ‘Cause you love him and he’s so sorry Much more than the time before And he loves you  And he’s sorry He won’t do it anymore Crack, boots and your ribs collide Hush, quietly bleeding inside As you fade from the scene You hear the sirens scream But you love him and he’s so sorry Much more than the time before He loves you  And he’s sorry He won’t do it anymore How many times do you touch a hot stove to see if the flame will burn? (How many times?) How many times will he beat you senseless? Oh baby, when will you learn? (You better) Get out! (You better) Get out! (You better) Get out!

Get Out!
words and music by Alice Bag

BooHoo, he started to cry

Bam, came the punch in the eye
You provoke him he says
Don’t you know how he gets?
Thud, when your head hits the wall
Oh no, you’re starting to fall
Why do you push him away?
You know you want him to stay
‘Cause you love him
and he’s so sorry
Much more than the time before
And he loves you 
And he’s sorry
He won’t do it anymore
Crack, boots and your ribs collide
Hush, quietly bleeding inside
As you fade from the scene
You hear the sirens scream
But you love him
and he’s so sorry
Much more than the time before
He loves you 
And he’s sorry
He won’t do it anymore
How many times do you touch a hot stove to see if the flame will burn?
(How many times?)
How many times will he beat you senseless?
Oh baby, when will you learn?
(You better) Get out!
(You better) Get out!
(You better) Get out!

“Punk taught me that I am the architect of my world. By working together with others who had the same vision and drive, we created and defined a movement that still affects people today. That is powerful. Punk’s strength came from the fact that it was inclusive. I want to use that knowledge to help redefine what it means to be a Chicana. I think in order for the Chicano movement to succeed it has to be inclusive, we have to behave like we’re on the same team. If we waste precious time and energy criticizing each other we will never achieve anything. We have to value the diversity within the Chicano community if we expect the mainstream to value diversity. We have to lead by example.” Alice Bag, November 2012

Island of Misfit Toys, 1977. Photo by Ruby Ray. Left to right: Unknown, Hellin Killer, Trudie Arguelles, Pleasant Gehman, Bobby Pyn (not yet Darby Crash), Nicky Beat, Alice Bag, Delphina, Lorna Doom (wearing Germs shirt), Pat Smear, Jena Cardwell (?) “I knew I was different from other kids at an early age. By the time I reached high school, I had a well-defined sense of “otherness” that I found to be a common streak among members of the early punk scene. We were all outcasts and had been ostracized in one way or another, for our ideas, our tastes or our appearances. So naturally, we all bonded over finding other misfits like ourselves.” - Alice Bag
