Against Me! is at the Riot Room tonight
One of the more interesting stories in the world of punk last year was Against Me bandleader Thomas James Gabel’s coming out as a transsexual woman. Gabel now goes by Laura Jane Grace and is undergoing hormone-replacement therapy (her ferocious voice will be unaffected), and Against Me is expected to release its new album – the aptly named Transgender Dysphoria Blues – later this year. If it’s anything like the wordy, anthemic punk of the group’s previous output, sign me up.
Friday, September 20, at the Riot Room
