Expatriarch returns to the .HBC theater on Saturday, January 21st for a cabaresque evening with Islaja, Mimosa Pale, So Low Suicide, Stella Veloce, Christiane Hommelsheim, Joey Hansom and Anita Drink.
Here’s our overview of some of the year’s most interesting recordings from queer and gender-defiant artists, judged by songcraft and sonic storytelling as well as political content, including Hercules & Love Affair, Planningtorock, R.E.M., Beth Ditto and Hunx and his Punx.
Expatriarch’s live music series at Monster Ronson’s continues with Junksista making her Berlin debut appearance, plus Godmother and DJs Joey Hansom and Sloth Collective.
Our musical moratorium on the gender binary is killing itself off: the third and final ⅓ of the III-part trilogy happens this Friday, November 25th at Chez Jacki with Maria Minerva, Kool Thing, aMinus, Joey Hansom, Petra Flurr and Kaleid.
In advance of her debut Berlin performance, we interviewed the DIY electronic producer/vocalist about her busy breakthrough 2011, écriture féminine, her relocation from London to Lisbon and her choice in covering ABBA.
