Check out Chad Elder‘s great photos of Babes in Toyland, Le Butcherettes, Slutever, The Menstruators, and Sara Schaefer at Riot Grill Fest in Los Angeles. The festival donated funds to the Human Rights Campaign, and as well as great music and comedy there was a bit of a focus on food — Canadian chef Nadia G. (of The Menstruators) oversaw the food situation, serving up recipes from her Bitchin’ Kitchen TV series. King Buzzo from the Melvins came out for the Butcherettes’ last song.
