Today, lesbian activists and electro-rap duo Yo! Majesty will hit the road in support of last year’s Futuristically Speaking…Never Be Afraid. The group will be joined by former Floetry rapper the Floacist.
Here’s a bit from the press release:
Yo! Majesty are hitting the road in support of their much anticipated release, “Futuristically Speaking/Never Be Afraid” (Domino). Their shows are a frantic, sweat filled spectacle, unlike anything you’ve likely experienced before. That is, of course, unless your average night involves two fierce hardline lesbian Christian women searing your mind with dance floor frying electro-rap anthems.
The duo will set out on North America at the cusp of 2009. This time, they’ll be joined by a live backing group, and their sometime collaborator/producer, DJ David Alexander of Hard Feelings UK. Their always unpredictably exciting live shows are only amped up further by the augmentation, and definitely promise to defy expectations from previous tours. They’ve never been more ready.
