But now baritone guitarist Claudia Meza, percussionist Heather Treadway, and drummer Lisa Schonberg are reuniting for a pair of special benefit shows later this year.
The two shows will take place at Mississippi Studios on Sunday, October 16. The early show is all-ages and is a benefit for Friends of Noise, with Wampire and Hugo Berlin joining them on the bill. The late show benefits all ages LA show space the Smell (although, weirdly, the late show is 21 and up), with the Ghost Ease and Lithics also performing. Tickets are available through the Mississippi Studios website.
