Oh, you New York hipsters. I stare in awe before you, as you bounce me up and down on your knee and say ‘Tonight, you can join our world’. Sometimes being in the right place at the right time makes you cool. Make the most of it, because it only lasts as long as that moment. On 16th January 2010, I was cool for as long as there were Men on stage.
Most of Le Tigre became Men. It was inevitable really. JD Samson (Jocelyn Samson) had grown a hard earned moustache and was all set to go. And what do girls do when they become men? They make brilliant upbeat tunes, encouraging radical freedom and a lot of bouncing. Locals hold boards up on stage offering useful instructions, like: ‘Fuck Your Friends’ and ‘SILENCE=DEATH’. We bop, we grin and then all week we imagine that we’re part of the scene that Men made. Can Brits ever be that hip?
