In her newly-formed rock band, Laura Jane Grace is joined by her wife Paris Campbell Grace (vocals), and Athens, Greece-based musicians Jacopo Fokas (bass) and Orestis Lagadinos (drums) to form Laura Jane Grace In The Trauma Tropes. Together, they share "Your God (God's Dick)" - listen below.
Written in the Onassis Foundation’s window-walled, fishtank-like offices as tourists peered inside, the track is a hilarious, heretic, and brilliant excoriation of religious devotion, or of using God’s supposed words and one’s belief in them to fuck your fellow citizens. A balancing act between Queen and L7, it is an instantly addictive tune, a should-be-hit that feels like a brazen test of the new right’s alleged devotion to free speech. Notably, Laura plays the Baglamas here, historically associated with Greek protest music, Rebetiko.
