In this episode, host, Alexandra Salazar sits down with Angela Garza, a Chicana dyke from McAllen, TX, who played a pivotal role in shaping the Rio Grande Valley punk scene. As a member of bands like Angela & the X’s, Inkbag, Dykes Interrupted, and The Follies, Angela reflects on her musical journey and the cultural impact of her work. They dive into topics like ‘cunt rock’—a term coined by Letty Martinez, lead singer of Angela & the X’s and now frontwoman of FEA of San Antonio—queer history in the Valley, and the pain of losing loved ones.
