The Metal Priestesses , Elizabeth Galdamaz, Hear She Roars Blog, Genny Schorr, Marina Muhlfriedel and Jessie Jacobson from seminal L. A. punk band Backstage Pass, and Alejandra Villegas, Sangreal Records Detroit are honored to speak with guitarist  Wes Beech from the legendary Plasmatics! In this tribute  to Wendy O. Williams we strive to keep her spirit and legacy alive, Wes tells us all about how they met, what working with Wendy was like, and that awful night in Milwaukee.  The Plasmatics were an American heavy metal band formed by Rod Swenson and Wendy O. Williams in New York City in 1978. They were a controversial group known for chaotic, destructive live shows and outrageous theatrics. This  included chainsawing guitars, destroying speaker cabinets, sledgehammering television sets and blowing up automobiles live on stage. Williams was arrested in Milwaukee by the Milwaukee police before being charged with public indecency.Wendy sadly took her life in 1998,  but we vow to keep her name and the music she created  alive and may her legacy live on for all to be inspired by, including a new generation of women in rock and music lovers everywhere! Please Follow us, listen and subscribe!
