SXSW 2022: Ezra Furman

I don't usually preview bands we know but Ezra Furman just tweeted out a great thread about coming to Texas and Abbott's transgender attacks.  See it here. A sample:

I am coming to show transgender resilience, dissent, protest, rage and joy. I am coming because i won’t let them prevent the thriving of this trans-led small business. I am singing in solidarity with trans kids and their families, with ethical doctors and responsible citizens.

She is playing Container Bar at 4pm Wednesday, San Jose Thursday at 4pm, and Empire Garage Friday at 2pm. At the shows: 

We’re playing trans rocknroll and registering people to vote (with @headcountorg) because Governor Abbott has to go. Trans people must be allowed to survive and thrive. This sickness, institutionalized transphobia, is spreading across the country rapidly and dangerously.
