The Linda Lindas were great to see in a small club. It was expensive, but still more worth it in my opinion compared to seeing them or anyone else where you have to pay 40% and up more money to sit so far away in a dome or arena that you're basically just watching a TV screen with a zillion other people.
The band only played for about an hour, but they did 20 songs, and it felt like enough actually. They played most of their songs, some new numbers and a handful of covers. The Japanese song that they got their name from got the biggest reaction from the Japanese crowd, and was a perfect finish.
It's been a long time since I've been in a mosh pit, of which there was a small, light one that girls seemed comfortable to participate in. I wasn't exactly prepared for moshing, but had a great time joining in and jumping around to the music which is another plus about a smaller, mainly standing only venue vs. a seated arena. Dancing and getting exercise just naturally feels great, yeah? They weren't exactly super tight, with many false starts and finishes, but it didn't detract from the enjoyment of the music at all. It's punky! I was happy to see them so energetic despite playing two days in a row previous and maybe suffering a bit of jet-leg. Great time Linda Lindas! Thanks!
A bit more ranting about concerts in general in case anyone concerned is paying attention:
I rarely go to concerts anymore due to the price, which is almost always way more than it says it is. (Used to see shows every month before I became old, I guess.) But you know what I'm talking about; on top of the much bigger ticket prices, the multiple service charges, and then in Japan there's a drink charge (which I didn't notice until I got to the door of this place, ¥600!), not to mention transportation fees. I've given up on going to shows in the past after seeing the hidden fees, and will continue to be discouraged in the future as well so I hope the ticket companies and venues take note!

The Linda Lindas Biography
The Linda Lindas first played together as members of a pickup new wave cover band of kids assembled by Kristin Kontrol (Dum Dum Girls) for Girlschool LA in 2018 and then formed their own garage punk group just for fun. Sisters Mila de la Garza (drummer, now 11) and Lucia de la Garza (guitar, 14), cousin Eloise Wong (bass, 13), and family friend Bela Salazar (guitar, 17) developed their chops as regulars at all-ages matinees in Chinatown, where they played with original L.A. punks like The Dils, Phranc, and Alley Cats; went on to open for riot grrrl legends Bikini Kill and architect Alice Bag as well as DIY heavyweights Best Coast and Bleached; and were eventually featured in Amy Poehler’s movie Moxie.
When the pandemic put a pause on shows, The Linda Lindas went on to self-release a four-song EP, make their own videos (including a get-out-the-vote effort with friends such as Tony Reflex from Adolescents, Adam Pfahler from Jawbreaker, Tae Won Yu from Kicking Giant, Allison Wolfe, Lois Maffeo, Money Mark, and Mike Watt), and grow a following beyond Los Angeles. But they never expected or could have even dreamed that their performance of “Racist, Sexist Boy” for the Los Angeles Public Library in May 2021 would take them from punk shows to TV shows.
A month later, when the school year ended and summer began, The Linda Lindas got to work on their first full-length LP. Having written a mountain of new material individually while sheltering in place and attending class virtually, the band was more than ready to enter the studio where Mila and Lucia’s dad (and Eloise’s uncle and Bela’s “uncle”) Carlos de la Garza oversaw recording and production. The Grammy-winning producer’s work includes Paramore, Bad Religion, Best Coast, and Bleached.
A product of generations of underground music in L.A. and beyond, The Linda Lindas’ debut channels classic punk, post punk, power pop, new wave, and other surprises into timelessly catchy and cool songs sung by all four members—each with her own style and energy. A handful of cuts have already been previewed at shows and enthusiastically approved by diehard followers in the pit at L.A.’s DIY punk institution The Smell and Head in the Cloud festivalgoers at The Rose Bowl alike.
