The Bags

Jenny Lens (see June 23, 2007) led me to Alice Bag's blog Diary of a Bad Housewife. With Pat Bag (Patricia Rainone), Alice formed the notorious Los Angeles punk band The Bags in 1977. I sent Alice an email hoping she'd know how to contact the Screamers.

Punk Photographer Jenny Lens

I contacted the punk photographer Jenny Lens through her website (www.jennylens.com) thinking she might know how to find some of the Screamers. A few emails later, we discussed the idea of sharing the exhibition space at Raid Projects so her archival photos of the Screamers can be shown alongside my record project. Damn good idea, I'd say.
