A couple of weeks ago, we threw a party in support of Pussy Riot. The Russian riot grrrls have been sentenced to years in prison for singing an anti-Vladimir Putin song a church in Moscow. So we asked a bunch of our favourite Toronto bands — ATTAGIRL, Pow Wows, shy kids, The Reply, Alphabot! and Ryan Kamstra from Tomboyfriend — to come play. Which they did. The result was a pretty freaking kickass night of music, with all of the money raised going to help Pussy Riot with their legal expenses.
If you missed out on the show, you can still help the band by donating to their legal fund here and by signing this petition online. And you can keep yourself up to date on the latest news by checking out FreePussyRiot.org or by liking them on Facebook here.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out!
