“Punk was a time and a place,” she said, “a pinpointed moment that will never be re-created or re-established, but its influence is really legendary at this point, much more than anybody ever thought it would be.”

But Cervenka isn’t looking back from Los Angeles, her former home. No, the queen of L.A. punk moved to Jefferson City in 2006 to create collage art in a large barn. She writes, and she is still making music.

“When you live in a big city your whole adult life, it’s nice to get away,” she explained, “and I didn’t grow up in a big city; I grew up in small towns.”

Cervenka now enjoys the luxuries of rural life, appreciating her limestone house and the black Angus cows that dot her horizon.
