ERICA DAWN LYLE + VICE COOLER

LAND TRUST: BENEFIT FOR NORTH EAST FARMERS OF COLOR (NEFOC)

Originally conceived as a quarantine-era mutual aid project after Bikini Kill tour was canceled due to Covid in March 2020, Vice Cooler and I wrote songs together remotely via file sharing and then asked a bunch of our friends to help us finish the songs. Guest singers and bass players include Kim Gordon, Kathleen Hanna, The Raincoats, Brontez Purnell, Alice Bag, The Linda Lindas, Rachel Aggs, Mike Watt, Katie Alice Greer, Palberta, Kelley Deal, and many more! The end result is a 16-song LP available exclusively as a download from Bandcamp.

All proceeds will help NEFOC acquire and return land to Indigenous nations and to reconnect POC farmers to land. Order Here

ZINE LIBS #3: THE PANDEMIC ISSUE with Caroline Kern

All proceeds go to raise bail funds in New York City and for Survived and Punished NY

Sometime during the fall of 2020 – was it perhaps during Rudy Giuliani’s surreal press conference at Four Seasons Landscaping? –  it started to become clear that Mad Libs was the only kind of writing that could actually come close to describing so-called reality anymore. So Caroline Kern and I decided to reunite and uh, capture the moment with the first issue of our old classic, Zine Libs, in well over a decade. ZINE LIBS #3: THE PANDEMIC EDITION is exclusively available from the online mutual aid bookstore BAILFRONT. All proceeds from sales go to raise money for bail funds in New York City and for Survived and Punished NY, a grassroots prison abolition organization, dedicated to freeing criminalized survivors of gender violence held in prisons in New York.
