A Day-Long Celebration of Intersectional Punk Rock

Los Angeles’s A Right to Defiance festival will feature performances, panels, and workshops that refute the notion that punk rock is a straight White man’s genre.

Organized by Jasmine Nyende, lead singer of “Black femme and them punk band” FUPU (Fuck U Pay Us), A Right to Defiance is a day-long festival celebrating the intersection of queer/punk/POC cultures. Programming includes two panel discussions moderated by the Bitchface podcast, a looming workshop courtesy of common threads, videos by SNATCHPOWER, Nevin Kallepalli & Nhà Sàn Collective, and performances from experimental ambient/noise act Tabor Dark, blistering LA-based garage rockers Trap Girl, and New Orleans’ own Edge Slayer, “an intergalactic Demoness who traveled from the negavrrse to heal the human race with emotional dissidence!”
