Kill Rock Stars Pride Showcase and New Money album release show — 6.30.22 (Premiering at 6pm PST / 9pm EST on the KRS YouTube channel)
Thank you to Isaiah Esquire, GreenLight Creative, The Dandy Warhols, Banana Stand Media, X-Laser, INDÍGENA, Gucci, my team at the label, and the whole crew who helped make this happen.
Thank you to everyone who has been streaming the single or pre-ordered the EP since yesterday when Kill Rock Stars announced it! I see you, gays.
And huge thanks to JD Samson, MAN ON MAN, Xiu Xiu, Bright Light Bright Light, and Plack Blague for being part of this with me. I love every single one of you.
Also I used to hide Faith No More CDs in my pants at the back of Camelot Music in the mall because I had to smuggle secular music into our house as a kid, so to have Roddy Bottum on this thing is wild.
If you find my album at a big box store, you absolutely have my permission to put that ish in your underwear and walk out. 🖤
Excited to announce that the Other People’s Money remix EP is out 6/30 on Kill Rock Stars and features songs from New Money reimagined by MAN ON MAN, Xiu Xiu, JD Samson, Bright Light Bright Light, and Plack Blague!
After canceling tour dates, pulling out of festivals, and postponing my album release show 3 times due to Covid-19, I am finally going to perform this thing on Saturday.
We will be doing more of these secret, private, Covid-safe shows over the coming months. The only way to hear about them is by subscribing to my newsletter. If you aren’t already signed up, make it happen on the right column of this site.
And to everyone who refuses to do very basic things to keep other people safe and end this pandemic already: You can’t sit with us.
Now that we are wrapping up the New Money release campaign, I thought I’d share how some of the sausage was made. Getting to partner with Gucci again this entire album cycle has been a dream come true.
Every look, every drip, started as a storyboard. Canceled tour dates aside, we pulled every piece of this campaign off!
The idea behind this musical era was to be as intentionally gauche and over the top as possible. Thank you to Alessandro Michele and the team from Gucci Portland for bringing this gilded, monogrammed, New Money vision to life with us.
