The Linda Lindas Debut “Too Many Things”
The Linda Lindas have released a new video for “Too Many Things.” The clip was directed by Ryan Baxley who has previously worked with the band on other videos. The girls play numerous characters, overwhelmed by the hustle of a busy diner. The piece was filmed at Burgerlords in the Highland Park neighborhood of their hometown, Los Angeles. The band released the single just prior to their Coachella appearance and marks the first new music the band has released in 2023, satiating fans who are anxious for the follow up to their 2022 debut album. The Linda Lindas spent most of 2022 on a world tour including playing shows with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Japanese Breakfast at Forest Hills Stadium, and the Hollywood Bowl. Growing Up is out now via Epitaph Records.
The Los Angeles quartet first played together as members of a pickup new wave cover band of kids assembled by Kristin Kontrol (Dum Dum Girls) for Girlschool LA in 2018 and then formed their own garage punk group soon after. Sisters Mila de la Garza (drummer, now 12) and Lucia de la Garza (guitar, 15), cousin Eloise Wong (bass, 14), and family friend Bela Salazar (guitar, 18) developed their chops as regulars at all-ages matinees in Chinatown, where they played with original L.A. punks like The Dils, Phranc, and Alley Cats; went on to open for riot grrrl legends Bikini Kill and architect Alice Bag as well as Best Coast and Bleached; and were eventually featured in Amy Poehler’s movie Moxie
