And in Pussy Riot News: Vivian Girls Playing a Benefit

Because Pussy Riot was bound to get some notice here.

Vivian Girls have decided to kick it charity style and aid in contributing to the defense fund of dissident Pussy Riot members, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich, all of whom are serving two years for hooliganism.

The band's 2011 release, Share The Joy, was reviewed at Kicking Against The Pricks.
