In 2004, Shira Yevin’s glam-punk band Shiragirl crashed the Vans Warped Tour, playing out of their pink RV right in front of the venue. By 2005, the New Jersey native had created an all-girl rogue stage for female-fronted bands, hosting up-and-comers like the Grammy-nominated Paramore. Now, after a hiatus, lead vocalist Yevin says the band is back with a full-length record (Scream Spit Sing is scheduled for release later this year), and tour dates to open for badasses such as NOFX. You can also catch the 26-year-old at her annual “Girlz in the Hood” femme rock bash in Brooklyn and howling into the mic at her favorite Brooklyn dive, Sputnik.
