May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! In celebration, P.S. ARTS will be highlighting AAPI artists all month long. This week, we're proud to spotlight local music group, The Linda Lindas! The Linda Lindas—Mila, Eloise, Lucia, and Bela—are a half-Asian, half-Latinx punk rock band from Los Angeles. They began playing their instruments with little musical experience in January of 2018, and by that summer they were an official garage punk band writing and performing original songs. A performance of their song, “Racist Sexist Boy” at the empty L.A. Public Library went viral on social media in the spring of 2021. Veteran musicians credit their popularity to their honest lyrics, raw emotion, and passionate performances that represent the voices of young people living through a global pandemic and social upheaval.
The Linda Lindas were one of P.S. ARTS’ featured artists in our 2021–2022 Theme & Anchorworks guide! To learn more about their music and ways to incorporate their work into the classroom, visit the link below.
