La Neve’s no stranger to tackling the political — she’s been organizing and fighting the powers that be in her hometown of Providence for years as one of the founding members of Rhode Island punk staple Downtown Boys, where she performs outside of drag as Joey DeFrancesco. As La Neve, she is a solo act who bills herself as a historian, and performs at the precipice of gender and genre. For her debut record The Vital Cord, named for the political concept of an economic cord and a tie to violent history, she channels her punk roots, but takes it even further.
The music packs a lyric and sonic punch, going places most artists in the mainstream probably wouldn’t dare to. A close listen to The Vital Cord reveals a queer dance cover of Stone Roses classic “I Wanna Be Adored,” a sample of a speech by Marxist economist David Harvey in the title track, and a dissection of gender in “Stability, which features a video that sees La Neve dancing through a psychedelic landscape alongside animated guillotines. The revolution has always been helmed by those on the precipice, the trans, queer, black and POC artists — La Neve is an inheritor and promulgator of this lineage, zeroing in on society’s oppressors with a sharp tongue and gnashing beats.
Get ready to dance! La Neve will be joined by local noise/dance performance duo Trust Fall and drag queen Aríana Does Moore, as well as local club legend $pellb!nder for a night to remember!
