The band was formed in 1976 and is known as one of the city’s earliest punk bands and for helping to build and launch The Masque, a legendary punk venue in Hollywood,California. Backstage PassThe earliest lineup of Backstage Pass spent several months rehearsing at Cherokee Studios in a room with a one-way mirror through which Alice Cooper, David Bowie and others would watch them try to figure out their instruments. Their relationship to Stiff Records founder Jake Riviera, Elvis Costello and British punk band The Damned coaxed them out of the rehearsal room and onto the stage. They played extensively in Southern and Northern California on bills with Devo, The Mumps, Wall of Voodoo, The Nuns, Elvis Costello, The Screamers, The Weirdos and others. Backstage Pass was often photographed by notable rock photographers including Jenny Lens/Punk Pioneers, Brad Elterman, Donna Santisi, Dawn Wirth and James Stark. LineupsThere were several incarnations of the band, all which were comprised of female musicians, except for an assortment of male drummers. Marina Del Rey (Marina Muhlfriedel) started the band on a whim with bassist Joanna Spock Dean. Before the band had ever begun to rehearse, it was announced in Britain’s Melody Maker and Sounds music newspapers and in Rodney Bingenheimer’s column in the Los Angeles music weekly, Phonograph Record Magazine. Genny Body (Genny Schorr), Ché Zuro and Holly Beth Vincent were other key members of the group. Drummer Rod “The Perve” Mitchell played with Backstage Pass longer than any other drummer. Drummer Mike Ruiz, of the band Milk 'N' Cookies, also performed with the band. FeaturedThe Band’s song “Legend (Come on Up to Me)” appears on the Rhino Records punk anthology “Saturday Night Pogo” and was covered by Redd Kross in the cult movie Desperate Teenage Love Dolls with Spock singing lead. The band was often featured in seminal punk publications including Backdoor Man, Slash Magazine, Flipside and others. After Backstage PassBackstage Pass dissolved in 1979. Marina Del Rey formed Vivabeat, which was signed by Peter Gabriel to Charisma Records. Holly Vincent created Holly and The Italians and had a hit single with “Tell That Girl to Shut Up”. Che’ Zuro became part of The Orchids, which was formed by Kim Fowley. Genny Schorr had been a contender to join The Runaways before joining Backstage Pass and later turned down a role in The Go-Go’s. She instead went on to open “Strait Jacket” clothing store and was then in the original line-up of Cow-Punk band The Screamin Sirens with Pleasant Gehman. Spock later played with Tommy Faragher and other artists. Marina and Genny continue to be interviewed in books, online journals such as Dazed and VICE, and podcasts about the early punk era in Los Angeles. References
