La Gorda

Don't be a skinny bitch.

About Me

La Gorda is an all-girl indie punk band whose music features a schizophrenic blend of dissonant yet melodic basslines, contrasting vocal harmonization and lyrical topics ranging from witch burning to internet dating.
We are currently on hiatus. Catch you later, taters.
