Half Asian and half Latinx. Two sisters, a cousin, and their close friend. The Linda Lindas channel the spirit of original punk, power pop, and new wave through today’s ears, eyes, and minds. Mila (11), Eloise (13), Lucia (14), and Bela (17) first played together as part of Kristin Kontrol’s pickup cover band comprised of inexperienced kids for Girlschool LA in January 2018, where they were joined by Bobb and Bethany from Best Coast and Karen O. That summer, Bela asked Lucia, Eloise, and Mila to back her up on a few songs at a Hi-Hat gig, and the group was born.
They weren’t called The Linda Lindas until they started playing Save Music in Chinatown benefit matinees in the fall, where they’ve shared the stage with punk lifers and legends including The Dils, Alley Cats, The Last, The Gears, and Phranc. They’ve also played with Alice Bag, joined Best Coast and Money Mark at a DIY political fund raiser, opened a sold-out record release show for Bleached, and were hand-picked by Riot Grrrl legends Bikini Kill to open up for them at one of their reunion shows at the Hollywood Palladium. They rounded out 2019 with performances at the Viva! Pomona Festival and the Dia De Los Muertos Festival at Self-Help Graphics LA, and played a show for locals at the Eagle Rock Center for the Arts shortly before the pandemic shut down live music.
In 2020, The Linda Lindas’ first original song was heard in the The Claudia Kishi Club documentary, they wrote a song and made a video with punk rock friends and legends to get out the vote in the presidential election, and they self-released the eponymous debut EP, which features songs penned and sung by each member of the band. In 2021, they reached a wider audience by appearing in a key scene of the Amy Poehler film, Moxie, before performing their now-legendary set for the Los Angeles Public Library that included “Racist, Sexist Boy.” Unexpectedly and organically, the clip went viral, expediting their deal with Epitaph Records.
In September, 2021, The Linda Lindas played their first show in 19 months at The Smell, previewing songs from their upcoming LP and covering The Go-Go’s “Tonite” with Go-Go’s drummer Gina Schock as a surprise guest for a sold-out crowd. Look for new music and more shows coming soon!
