Le Tigre--the angry hipster gaggle that brought dance floors the seminal "Deceptacon"--has been noticeably laid back since smashing on the scene in 2003. But here comes a side project to keep fans satiated. Men is the collab between JD Samson and Johanna Fateman, and keeping with Le Tigre's trademark electro-noise, the two deliver sassy but careless lyrics about simple relationships and nonthinking subjects over serrated beats that can both slay 'em at a club and frenetically tap feet at the dive bar.
JD Samson and Johanna Fateman, of Le Tigre, have joined forces for their new project MEN. Continuing their reputation as electronic provocateurs that never sacrifice the intelligence or the fun, the duo will take over dance floors coast to coast on their winter 08 dj tour (dates below). Along with their genre-defying dj sets, MEN are also working on some new tracks to release this year.
Since electronic punk pioneers Le Tigre went on hiatus, Jo has opened up an acclaimed unisex beauty salon, Seagull, in NYC’s West Village. JD joined PEACHES' touring band the Herms who toured with NIN throughout the summer of 06.
