U.S. Girls will take Shame's place in Rock the Garden Line-Up
The Walker Art Center and The Current’s Rock the Garden 2018 lineup was originally announced as Father John Misty, Feist, Kamasi Washington, P.O.S, Nikki Lane, Shame, Chastity Brown, and Low Cut Connie. Shame will no longer be performing at Rock the Garden. In their place, will be U.S. Girls.
ABOUT U.S. GIRLS
American musician Meghan Remy founded U.S. Girls in 2007. Now based in Toronto, the multidisciplinary artist has toured across Europe and North America, performing solo and most recently with a full eight-piece band. Remy’s musical, collage and film work have created consistent themes and sounds of mainstream pop and a mix of R&B and rock, with a heap of American feminism. Her latest album, In a Poem Unlimited, has been described as a “noise dance explosion” which topics explore histories of injustice (Hyperallergic). Known for her “dense, impenetrable music”, her newest album’s experimentation is “catchy as hell” (GQ).
