Elijah Oberman (fiddle), Ian Brannigan (guitar), Louisa Rachel Solomon (bass) and Temim Fruchter 25 Best Live Photos of 2011 (drums) is a band bent on putting politics back in punk. Just a year out from their union in college, the SPIN's 40 Best Rap Albums of 2011 foursome caught the crest of a foamy blogger-hype wave without so much as a single pressed. Their self- released LP, The Red Sea, is out now. 40 Greatest Comedy Albums of All Time 125 Best Albums of the Past 25 Years What's the Deal? Shonde is Yiddish for 'shame', or a 'disgrace', a concept of which they readily embrace, twist and reincorporate in their tales of queer and Jewish identity trappings. "Being something 'shameful,' to your family, to your culture or whatever for your identity or your beliefs, that's something that's pretty real for each of us…and a lot of people out there. But it's also an opportunity to reclaim that, be proud, have fun, Connect With laugh at ourselves and laugh off the people who make us feel that way," Oberman tells SPIN.com. When these four take the ideology to the amps, things fall in line with the queercore movement in which they have spawned from -- the speed-crunch power chords, a couple f-bombs, the call-and-response chorus (Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, Lesbians on Ecstasy).

  • Forging a New Path: Transgender Singers in Popular Music
    POPULAR SONG AND MUSIC THEATER Robert Edwin, Associate Editor Forging a New Path: Transgender Singers in Popular Music Nancy Bos ome of the first issues that a cisgender voice teacher of transgen- der and gender nonconforming singers faces is finding role models and repertoire for the student. After all, with most students we have well established ideas of what their musical niche might be. But trans- Sgender or gender nonconforming singers might seem to bring an entirely blank slate, as if nobody had ever developed a following or composed songs as a transgender singer. Thankfully, that is not the case. There are talented transgender singers in almost every genre, and many people have cut paths for our students to explore. Nancy Bos Few people have more expertise on music of transgender performers than JD Doyle, archivist of music of LGBTQ performers spanning the last hundred years. His websites, Queer Music Heritage and JD Doyle Archives, are both sources of understanding, appreciation, and exposure for LGBTQ singers. JD has an uncomplicated way of shining light on appropriate repertoire: “[W]hat is queer music, and what makes it different, and the same, from what straight artists write and sing about? It’s the same because of course LGBT people write about relationships, falling in love, wanting to be in love, and losing love . .” Doyle offers a number of recommendations of artists to consider that I have supplemented. It is exciting to hear the authentic and meaningful music of these artists, some who sing from their hearts with insightful, serious lyrics about their transitions, some who perform songs that say nothing specific about their transitions, and others who use comedy and bring up the edgier side of their lives.
