On Friday, at the flea market record store, after much rooting around in the hoarding mess of a backroom, I managed to find an upgrade to one of my Big Audio Dynamite 12" singles. My current one was ripe with light scratches causing much static unhappiness.

Can you name this band and track from the '90s punk rock outfit out of Whittier, California (a suburb of Los Angeles)?
Bonus points if you can name the lady in the audience with the mohawk ! She fronted an all-female trio that once served as the backup band for Nina Hagen.
Sonic Youth released "Teen Age Riot" in October 1988 on Daydream Nation. It became their first single to receive significant alternative radio airplay, reaching number 20 on the Billboard charts.
"Our Lips Are Sealed" holds a special spot in 1980s new wave history: co-written by Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go's) and Terry Hall (The Specials), it became a major hit for both The Go-Go's and Hall's next band, Fun Boy Three, with totally contrasting musical arrangements.
@richardblade Our Lips Are Sealed was a hit twice in completely different styles. When you and Terry Hall co-wrote those lyrics, which version felt closer to what you originally had in mind: the Go-Go's sunny pop or Fun Boy Three's moody take ?
