Description

Though now not a revolt grrl band, Spitboy blazed trails for women musicians within the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, but it surely wasn’t easy. Misogyny, sexism, abusive fans, class and color blindness, and all-out racism were foes, especially for Gonzales, a Chicana and the one person of color within the band. Unlike touring rock bands before them, the unapologetically feminist Spitboy most popular Scrabble games between shows relatively than sex and drugs, and so they weren’t the offended manhaters that many expected them to be. Fully illustrated with rare photos and flyers from the punk rock underground, this fast-paced, first-person recollection is populated by scenesters and musical allies from the time including Econochrist, Paxston Quiggly, Neurosis, Los Crudos, Aaron Cometbus, Pete the Roadie, Green Day, Fugazi, and Kamala and the Karnivores.
