Le Tigre offshoot MEN bring
politi-pop on spring tour
JD Samson’s post-gender diatribes and plunky post­
punk aesthetic have been an inspiration to underground
club kids since the early ‘00s, when Samson’s addition to
Le Tigre solidified a tour de force for the next phase of riot
grrrl rock. Samson’s new trio, M E N —also featuring
Ladybug Transistor’s Michael O ’Neill and Ginger Brooks
Takahashi—have just released their debut LP Talk About
Body , a whip-smart social manifesto whirring with neo­
disco beats and radical synth-dance explosions.
Having formed during Le Tigre’s hiatus, the group
employed the writing and production work of fellow Le
Tigre member Johanna Fateman and artist Emily Roysdon.
Focusing heavily on live performance, M EN have been
known to utilize the talents o f local artists painting
backdrops onstage and often espouse call-to-arms
monologues disguised as pop songs. It’s likely you won’t
notice that the plight of wartime economy is being explored
in tunes like “Life’s H alf Price," or the progression of gay
activism in “Who Am I to Feel So Free," until you’ve
finished nodding your head and wiping the sweat off your
brow.
And therein lies the dichotomy. Dance music as a
LIVE ART. Create live art from a selection of mod­
els. (1-3:00p.m., Backspace, 115 NW5th, $10)
Daddies and Papas is a social group for GLBT
men raising young children. (10:00 a m. -Noon,
Q Center, 4115 N Mississippi, pdxqcenter.org)
The Heart Can Bear It All. For more informa­
tion on this weekend retreat, visit gangaji.org.
Free Rapid HIV Testing for guys into guys.
(5-9:00 p.m., Pivot, 209 SW 4th, pivotpdx.org)
vehicle for spreading messages of political importance isn’t
exactly a new science; it’s just that for what it is, M EN
thus far seem to handle the beaker best. With saccharine-
sweet choruses and rap-lite hooks, Talk About Body on its
own—like the releases o f so many other reputable live
bands—is cloaked in an abstract aura. All the more reason
to catch these M EN in person.
M EN, Lovers, Macromantics, Silver Interior, Mr. Charming;
Wed., March 23, 9 p.m.; Rotture, 315 SE Third Ave.; $10
advance, $12 at door, rotture.com.
