Kilowatt Bar is hosting a New Year’s Eve party with special performances by feminist art collective Pussy Riot, punk rock band Dwarves, and many more on December 31!

Pussy Riot is a collective of 11 women based in Moscow that was founded in 2011 by Nadya Tolokonnikova. They are most well known for their political art and performance protests usually targeted towards national politics in Russia. The early days of the group saw them staging illegal punk rock gigs in churches, political buildings, and even the olympics. Their music covers topics such as anti-authoritarianism, LGBTQ rights, and feminism. Their sound has become more accessible over the years, ditching the punk rock style of their early days for a more pop oriented one, but their message still stays the same.

Originally forming in Chicago in the mid 1980s, Dwarves have been based in San Francisco since around 2009. They embody a classically punk rock sound that is filled with intentionally shocking lyricism. Lead vocalist Blag Dahlia and guitarist HeWhoCannotBeNamed have been central members of the group since its inception with a constantly rotating cast of other musicians taking to the studio and stage with the band. Dwarves are self described as “the last punk band,” remaining consistent in their ideology and general musical style since their inception.
