Amanda Palmer presents an intimate conversation with Laura Jane Grace. Recorded March 15, 2019 in Austin, TX. Laura Jane Grace is the founder, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of the punk rock band Against Me! They’ve come out with 7 studio albums. Grace is one of the first highly visible punk rock musicians to come out as transgender and has become an outspoken advocate for transgender awareness. Her column Mandatory Happiness was published by Vice for years. Her autobiography is entitled, "Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout." Her debut solo album “Bought to Rot” was released in 2018. Her new album “Stay Alive” is out now on Polyvinyl Records. We talk about enjoying music as an individual, musicians working in cycles, the relationship between speed and creativity, and punk guilt. @LauraJaneGrace www.laurajanegracemusic.com Stay Alive: https://www.polyvinylrecords.com/product/stay_alive Bought to Rot: https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/bought-rot Against Me!: https://www.againstme.net Tranny: Confessions of Punk Rock's Most Infamous Anarchist Sellout: https://againstme.myshopify.com/collections/everything/products/laura-jane-grace-tranny-hardcover-book No ads.
