With their edgy sound, the TheLindaLindas use punk, post-punk, power-pop, and new wave to channel the complexities of getting older, the good and bad, and figuring out one’s identity
are punk to the core. So when the Cypress Park branch of the Los Angeles Public Library asked the band if they wanted to perform there as part of their Asian American Pacific Islander heritage programming, it was an easy decision. They saw it as a fun way to raise awareness of racial issues and promote equality, as well as a way to support one of their favorite libraries.The band also features Wong’s cousins, sisters Mila de la Garza, 11, on the drums and Lucia de la Garza, 15, who plays guitar.
None of them ever fathomed the video of the performance would go viral, much less the sheer reach it would have worldwide. In the days and weeks ahead, it received over 4 million views on Instagram, Twitter and other social media. It also garnered praise from Hayley Williams, Questlove, Flea, and members of Rage Against the Machine and Sonic Youth.
“Now we’re doing more interviews and photoshoots and will be going on tour soon,” says Lucia. It’s been a fun process so far, and as Mila adds, the snacks and Boba help. The band feels these themes of growing up are a universal message that applies to everyone. “We hope it resonates with everyone and not just kids,” says Lucia. “You don’t stop growing up after you’re a kid!” They filter this message through a dynamic range of influences, including punk, post-punk, power-pop, and new wave. Everyone in the band takes turns singing on the album, allowing more diversity in their songs.
