On this episode of One Step Beyond, Aram sat down with Alice Bag to discuss the role that art has in social change and activism. Alice has been active in music since 1977 when she co-founded the first wave LA punk band The Bags, famously captured in Penelope Spheeris’ 1981 punk time capsule The Decline of Western Civilization. Alice went on to perform with Cholita, Las Tres, and Castration Squad, and has released three solo records. She’s an educator, a writer, and a lifelong activist. Alice also maintains the Women in LA Punk Archive.
