In 1988, Mah moved to San Francisco and helped found another of the pioneering queercore punk bands, Tribe 8, for which she played guitar.
The group released their first single on Harp Records, following up with EPS on fledgling queercore label Outpunk and were later signed to the independent record label Alternative Tentacles, releasing a number of singles and albums in the years they were together. Mah has also appeared in other independent films such as "Shut Up White Boy" by Vu T. Thu Ha, and directed her own film called Estrofemme.
