MEN
Michael O'Neill, JD Samson and Ginger Brooks Takahashiwith contributors Johanna Fateman and Emily Roysdon.
MEN is a Brooklyn-based band and art/performance collective that focuses on the energy of live performance and the radical
potential of dance music. MEN speaks to issues such as wartime economies, sexual compromise, and demanding liberties
through lyrical content and an exciting stage show.
The group began in 2007 as the DJ/production/remix team of Le Tigre members JD Samson and Johanna Fateman. When the duo
began to write new songs, it made sense to merge their efforts with JD's other project Hirsute. JD and original Hirsute members
Michael O'Neill (Princess, Ladybug Transistor) and Ginger Brooks Takahashi (LTTR, The Ballet) now comprise the core of MEN, with
Johanna Fateman and artist Emily Roysdon contributing as writers, consultants, and producers.
