Brigitte Bardon't - I Don't Wanna Hear It When You Bitch Shut Up You Make Me Sick You Stupid Whore + Sylvia Anne Virginia [excerpt]

Comic shop The Beguiling organized this #DefendThe11 fundraiser for "members of the independent comics community... served with a defamation lawsuit because of concerns they raised about a fellow creator's alleged pattern of sexual misconduct", bringing together members of the overlapping comics and music scenes. Busy advocating for mental health and fighting against sexual violence, Kristel Jax took some time away from the festival circuit for this local appearance, creating a nest from which to create the evening's best-sounding set. Emotionally-intense stuff that is becoming more sharpened and direct with time, the audience stayed silent and gave space to the disembodied voices and anguished mutter/screams.

[Brigitte Bardon't has a track on the just-released, Così e Così-curated No Exist compilation — plus a haunting new video to go along with it.]
