The Brooklyn, NY-based feminist art/music collective MEN began in 2007 as a DJ/remix project of J.D. Samson and Johanna Fateman while their band <a href="spotify:artist:2n6FviARgtjjimZXu18uRM">Le Tigre</a> was on hiatus. During that time, Samson also began working on songs with her project Hirsute, which featured Ginger Brooks Takahashi of LTTR and <a href="spotify:artist:4575kWAKpPZohqdLc1X1bh">the Ballet</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:15qL2oIvXdTLPUiZZypsvi">the Ladybug Transistor</a>'s Michael O’Neill. Eventually, Takahashi and O’Neill became core members of MEN along with Samson, while Fateman and writer Emily Roysdon became consultants. The band’s sound evolved into a sharp-edged fusion of dance-punk and electro-pop, while their lyrics expressed the desires and troubles of feminists and the LGBT community. MEN released a few singles over the years, including Off Our Backs and Credit Card Babies, and toured with <a href="spotify:artist:1gkSl4XpHIHI4I1WQbfXOE">Peaches</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3sFTupo9UGgrujjN21BjwR">the Gossip</a> before <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22IAMSOUND%22">IAMSOUND</a> issued their debut album, Talk About Body, in 2011. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
