Tonight in Los Angeles, U.S. Girls’ Meg Remy and Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus are taking part in a special Q&A on the role of art in the modern age. Presented by Rolling Stone and moderated by RS contributor Jenny Eliscu, the conversation is happening at NeueHouse’s Hollywood location beginning at 9:30 P.M. EST / 6:30 P.M. PST, and you can livestream it on Facebook Live.
Tune-Yards and U.S. Girls are also embarking on a joint tour later this week, kicking off this Thursday in L.A. and running through November 2nd in Queens, New York. Both acts released provocative art-pop statements on 4AD this year — U.S. Girls with In a Poem Unlimited, and Tune-Yards with I Can Feel You Creep Into My Private Life — and they collaborated on remixes of each other’s songs for a limited-edition 7″ single that will be sold on their fall tour dates.
In a press release about tonight’s Q&A, 4AD said Remy and Garbus plan to “discuss the relationship between content creation and artmaking as a modern artist.”
