Pussy Riot wants you to know your rights.
The Russian punk band's first post-liberation trip to the United States is bringing out pop and rock royalty. Madonna will announce the group onstage at Amnesty International’s Bringing Human Rights Home concert at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn tomorrow night (Feb. 5) that’s also bringing out the Flaming Lips, Yoko Ono, Bob Geldof, Lauryn Hill, the Fray and Imagine Dragons.
Meanwhile, Kim Gordon is cohosting a small benefit for the Voice Project with the band Thursday night (Feb. 6) in New York. But within minutes of landing at John F. Kennedy Airport, two of three recently freed members of Pussy Riot -- Nadezhda “Nadya” Tolokonnikova and Maria “Masha” Alyokhina -- had another band on their mind.
