MEN is a Brooklyn-based band and performance collective that focuses on the radical potential of dance music. They’re touring the Pacific Northwest this month and we asked member JD Samson to present us with a photo essay from the road.
+ The first song you fell in love with.
+ Your role model.
+ Favorite thing to see in the audience from onstage.
+ Who is Pussy Riot?
+ Your best tour memory.
We’re hosting a free reading of excerpts from Pussy Riot’s closing statements in Liberty Hall at Ace Hotel New York this Thursday evening with Eileen Myles, Mx Justin Vivian Bond, Johanna Fateman, Chloë Sevigny, JD Samson and more. Free to the public, 7:30pm. Whether or not you can make it, please text your support to Amnesty International by sending ACTION7 and your full name to 88080.
This lovely poster is by Rebecca Lieberman.
