Genevieve Schor and Pleasant Gehman have known each other since the birth of the LA punk scene. They bonded at wild afterhours parties with The Ramones, The Damned, Blondie, The Screamers and many more. Genevieve was one of the founders of Backstage Pass, a pioneering mostly female band that helped put Hollywood punk and LA's first punk club The Masque on the map.
Pleasant started the raucous all girl band The Screaming Sirens which Genevieve later briefly joined as guitarist.
Both are writers and memoirists. Pleasant has written several books on her wild adventures in Hollywood and beyond, most recently, Rock & Roll Witch. Genevieve's new book, All Roads Lead To Punk reads like a lost diary of her surfing the first wave of punk through music and fashion.
Genevieve and Pleasant will be leading tours November 14th - 16th, recounting their many wild stories about being on the scene in such a remarkable time in Los Angeles.

“These demos go as far back as 2010, when I was starting to run my korg into a rat distortion pedal and was chopping up drum samples. These songs were made when I was deep into my addiction to cocaine, crack and meth, and I hear it when I listen back to these. I don't know if I would have ever released these if TPRM had never come to me with this idea. Thank you.” - N8NOFACE.
