Composed of Latinas Jenn Alva (bass) and sisters Phanie (drums) and Nina Diaz (guitar/vocals), the group is signed to rock legend Joan Jett’s Black Heart Records. The group is currently performing to support their latest release and fourth album, Exits & All the Rest.

Opening the show for GIAC on Saturday are Austin-based blues-rockers The Bluebonnets. The all female quartet began in Los Angeles and reformed again in Austin when Kathy Valentine and Dominique Davalos decided to re-introduce the band.
