[birdfloatindown]

I don't know if this has been posted before. I just saw that Adam Horovitz will be DJ-ing at a benefit for the punk band, Pussy Riot, on June 12th. It will be at Death By Audio, on 49 S. 2nd St in Williamsburg. Here's more info:

Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz will make his first public performance since the death of his Beastie Boys bandmate Adam "MCA" Yauch tonight at a benefit concert in Brooklyn for imprisoned members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot. Horovitz will DJ, and the show will include live sets by Heliotropes, Shady Hawkins and TinVulva. The show, which is being put on by the feminist art group Permanent Wave, will be held at Death by Audio in Williamsburg and admission will be offered on a sliding scale with a minimum $7 donation.

Three members of Pussy Riot – Maria Alekhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Ekaterina Samucevich – were charged with hooliganism and have been remanded in jail, facing up to seven years imprisonment for allegedly participating in a punk rock demonstration against the regime of Russian president Vladimir Putin. The benefit show will raise money to support the musicians' legal defense.

way to get back on your feet, Adam!

[JoLovesMCA]

I wish I could go. Would be cool if he had a gig that weekend in August when we all meet up.

[birdfloatindown]

Yeah, it's tonight, I wish I could go. He might be wearing a mask over his head, since if you look at some of the protests that have gone on for Pussy Riot's release, that's the trademark. It's great to see the King getting back out there. We love you Adam! And FREE PUSSY RIOT!(!)

[Brass Monk]

numerous media outlets are reporting that he is "performing"

[JoLovesMCA]

He usually plays while Kathleen and/or her band performs so that makes sense if he does. I want photos!

I was walking around the area of the venue last about 3 blocks east looking for a bodega, and I ran into Ad-Rock walking to the venue. It was steadily raining and there was the King walking by himself to the venue! Got to say what's up and chat for a sec.

Very cool to see him out for things like this.

[Jwolff]

It was sick! He was super nice. A genuinely nice guy. He stopped in the rain just to chat it up with me for a minute.I had to leave the venue early and I was bummed because I did not know if I was going to make it back to check out his set (which I did not).So to randomly run into him walking down the block....crazy

[LucieT]

I will split rent with you.

Can I come too ?

[JoLovesMCA]

Honestly he looks really tired to me lately, but still looks wonderful. I know he's been through hell so seeing him out and immersing himself in his art makes me feel good.

Here are some new photos!

I've been looking for more info on this, but I can't find any. I googled what the show's about and the photos of it, and it looks like a riot. Some good tunes and some good laughs.:D

[YoungRemy]

It's a raunchy cabaret show with heart

In the event you haven't heard, CNNs reporting a guilty verdict.

Just a reminder of how thankful I am to live in a country where that can't happen.

"Earlier today, three members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in prison on trumped-up charges of “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred.” But other members of Pussy Riot are still free, and they’ve just released a ferocious new response single called “Putin Light Up The Flames.” Hear it below."

~ In other Pussy Riot news, a group of Russian activists is suing Madonna for causing “moral damage” by speaking up in favor of Pussy Riot at a St. Petersburg show.~
