She was and still is the female lead in the west coast punk band “X,” which was very influential in that musical scene in the 80’s and 90’s. If you weren’t into punk, you wouldn’t have heard of her. She’s always marched to her own drummer.
I used to run into her in LA, like in the Llasa Club where she was definitely treated like royalty.
I used to read the LA Weekly for it’s band lineups for the weekend. It was a commie screed. Now she writes for the OC Weekly.
Is there an alternative music community in Orange County? Funny place for her to end up in the land of Disney and Little Saigon. Maybe she moved there to be close to the grandkids.
