BULLETPROOF STOCKINGS

This all-female Chasidic Jewish band rocks! Frontwoman Perl Wolfe and her group of bold alternative rockers from the Brooklyn area seek to empower women. Formed in 2011, their unique Jewish music helps spread awareness of kol isha, which is the prohibition of men hearing women sing. Bulletproof Stockings does this by selling out performances for all-female audiences. Their debut album, “Homeland Call Stomp,” comes out this month. 8 p.m. $15. The Mint, Los Angeles. ” target=”_blank”>letmypeoplego.com.
