August will mark 10 years since three members of Pussy Riot, Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, were convicted of "hooliganism" after a protest in Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral against Vladimir Putin. To commemorate the occasion, they've announced their debut mixtape, MATRIARCHY NOW, due out August 5 via Neon Gold Records. It was executive produced by Tove Lo, who also features on it, along with Salem Ilese, Kito, Hudson Mohawke, Slayyyter, ILOVEMAKONNEN, Big Freedia, Phoebe Ryan, and more. They've shared a new single, "Plastic," featuring ILOVEMAKONNEN, and accompanied by a very Toy Story-esque video directed by Haley Bowman. Watch it below.
Pussy Riot have some West Coast shows coming up, including sets at Outside Lands, Life is Beautiful, and Rifflandia, along with a Los Angeles date at El Rey Theatre on August 10, and a San Francisco mixtape release/Outside Lands kickoff show at The Castro on August 4. See all dates below.
