Vinyl LP, Don Giovanni Records DG-116

This is the vinyl LP of Alice Bag's first solo album, released by Don Giovanni Records under catalog number DG-116 on June 24, 2016. The label also carries it on CD and as a download. All eleven songs are originals written by Bag, and the album runs 37:46. Pete Lyman mastered it at Infrasonic, and Martin Sorrondeguy created the cover art.

LA Weekly reported that Bag first planned to put the record out herself, with Kickstarter backers covering recording and mastering, until guitarist Sharif Dumani of Sex Stains pointed her toward Don Giovanni. On the opening "Little Hypocrite," Dumani's guitars are joined by Rikki Watson on drums and David Jones on bass. The credits also list Abby Travis, Candace Hansen, Joe Berardi, Kristian Hoffman and Lysa Flores, with Cesar Castro on the closing "Inesperado Adios." The second track, "He's So Sorry," was released alongside a short film about domestic violence.

Bag was born and raised in East Los Angeles. She co-founded the Bags, one of the first punk bands in Los Angeles in the 1970s, and sang lead for them. Members of the Bags appeared as the Alice Bag Band in Penelope Spheeris's 1981 documentary The Decline of Western Civilization. Her memoir, Violence Girl, came out from Feral House in 2011, and the Smithsonian exhibition American Sabor: Latinos in US Popular Music has featured her work.

Pitchfork scored the album 7.5 out of 10 and Magnet listed it as Essential New Music. Bag's own biography notes that AllMusic counted it among the best albums of 2016. Her second album, Blueprint, followed on Don Giovanni in 2018, and Sister Dynamite came out on In the Red Records in 2020.
