Pussy Riot will release their debut mixtape, Matriarchy Now, on Aug. 5 via Neon Gold Records. The Russian protest art collective previewed the release with a new single, “Plastic,” which features ILoveMakonnen.
The pop-laden song arrives alongside a music video directed by Haley Bowman that sees the musicians formed of literal plastic, evoking punk rock Barbie dolls.
The forthcoming mixtape features a collaboration with Tove Lo, who executive produced the project, as well as collaborations with Salem Ilese, Kito, Hudson Mohawke, Slayyyter, Big Freedia, and Phoebe Ryan.

Under the continued threat of imprisonment by Vladimir Putin’s regime for anti-government activism, Pussy Riot’s Maria Alyokhina successfully escaped Russia last month, only able to safely flee Moscow by disguising herself as a food courier.
In an interview with The New York Times, Alyokhina, 33, detailed how she managed to leave the Russian capital despite being under house arrest. The activist had been arrested and jailed a whopping six times in the last year, primarily due to her involvement in anti-government protests, prompting her decision to flee. The food...

"Revolution or media noise?" Cleopatra Entertainment has released a new trailer for a documentary about the controversial, radical rock band Pussy Riot, titled Act & Punishment. The film profiles their activist careers, by following them closely since they were released from prison in 2012. It examines "their evolution from mere political activists through their formation of a punk rock band destined to bring their message of revolution to the masses and beyond." Pussy Riot is also launching a tour in the Us in 2018 right after this doc premieres on VOD, and it's all tied together to help bring more attention to these badass ladies. The film stars actual Pussy Riot members Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich. This looks like a wild, bold look at how much noise they made and the importance of troublemakers today. Here's the official Us trailer for Yevgeni Mitta's documentary Act & Punishment, direct from YouTube:...

It’s hard to resist the name Pussy Riot, boasting a provocatively coy blend of sensuality and anger, but some people still find it too inflammatory. Russian President Vladimir Putin is evidently one of those people, given how noticeably he recoils in an interview when asked to discuss the “disgusting” name. While it would make sense for a governing authority like Putin to fear a band with the word “riot” in its name – especially one that has no problem emasculating the president in their own punk anthems – it is amusing to watch him clench up as he approaches the word “pussy.” Way to “pussy-foot” around something so insignificant, Mr. Putin.
Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer, timed for a theatrical and DVD release during Russian Olympic fervor (and furor), is a documentary about three members of the feminist punk outlet who became international icons after authorities detained them after a performance stunt.

Less than two months after being released from prison for protesting Vladimir Putin’s regime in 2012, two members of the Russian protest band Pussy Riot were detained in Sochi on Feb. 18 in connection with a theft that occurred in their hotel.
Pussy Riot‘s Maria Alyokhina, 25, and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 24, found themselves in trouble again on Feb. 18, when they were detained in Sochi due to theft at their hotel. However, the band is telling a much different story when it comes to the reasoning behind their arrest.
Pussy Riot — Russian Protest Band Arrested
Maria and Nadezhda openly oppose Vladimir Putin and his much-maligned regime, which is why many were surprised when the band visited Sochi — home of the Winter Olympics — mere months after their release from prison.
