An innkeeper's daughter, LG spent a childhood living next door to a hotel lounge and listening to the muffled bass that bled through its walls. Fired in the kiln of punk rock and shaped by influences like the Sex Pistols, Pink Floyd, the Beatles and Black Sabbath, LG soon began honing her bass playing chops with Atlanta bands like Ultrababyfat and Sweetheart, and opening for everyone from Pavement to Drivin 'n' Cryin'.
