Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[HunnyPi007 AT aol.com]

Some questions for Shirley that I think other Typical Girls will want to know the answers to:

Is this show an "invite only" event? I registered for PopRally's mailing list immediately after seeing your message but haven't received an "invite" from them yet. Do you know when these will be sent to those who've registered? There currently isn't any mention of The Raincoats' show on http://moma.org/poprally. (As you can see, I'm trying to get my Raincoats tickets early this time!  ;  )  Still, so very appreciative of your kindness last year.)

Also, will the band be playing anywhere else in the U.S. this year or are they just coming over for the MoMA show?

Warm regards,

Lydia

we all feel totally devastated with the news about Ari.  we have huge respect and love for her - she made a massive difference in the world and gives us all inspiration.

we do have some good news: we are playing a special show at MoMA, New York next month with Kathleen Hanna DJing and two really great exhibitions.

An Evening with The Raincoats

Saturday, November 20, 2010

8:30–11:00 P.M.

Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
11 W 53rd St.
New York NY 10019

PopRally invites you to a special performance by the legendary post-punk group The Raincoats, presented in conjunction with a pair of MoMA exhibitions featuring influential women artists. Kathleen Hanna will kick the event off with a DJ session.

 

Pictures by Women: A History of Modern Photography presents a selection of outstanding photographs by women artists, charting the medium’s 170-year history. Counter Space: Design and the Modern Kitchen recognizes the prominence of women who have critically addressed kitchen culture and myths. Both exhibitions are associated with MoMA’s publication Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum of Modern Art.

 The Raincoats, formed by Ana da Silva and Gina Birch in the late 1970s, created a sound, inspired by punk and rock music, that became a significant source of inspiration for future of generations of feminist musicians. Kathleen Hanna was a founding member of Bikini Kill, co-creator of the zine Riot Grrrl, and lead singer of the dance-punk band Le Tigre.

 From 8:30 to 10:00 p.m., enjoy an exclusive exhibition viewing and open bar during Kathleen Hanna's DJ set; The Raincoats’ performance follows at 10:00 p.m.

Tickets: $23 available from Friday 29 October and you need to register first for an invitation: http://moma.org/poprally/mailinglist

Ana and Gina are looking forward to seeing some typical girls!
