After a February protest/performance at a Russian Orthodox church,
three members of the Russian feminist punk band Pussy Riot are facing
years in prison for the charge of “hooliganism motivated by religious
hatred.” They’ve been in the news a lot lately, and we’ll soon learn
whether the international outcry to free them had any effect. In the
meantime, electroclasher Peaches has recorded a new track called “Free
Pussy Riot” in solidarity. And the video, which doesn’t seem likely to
sway any Russian court functionaries, features footage from a Berlin
rally in support of the band, as well as appearances from sympathetic
artists like the Knife, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn And John, Nick Zinner, the
Hives, Miike Snow, Kate Nash, Light Asylum, Wayne Kramer, Marshall
Crenshaw, JD Samson, and others.
