The Irish Arts Center (IAC) will host a weeklong residency for Pillow Queens, an all-female Irish indie rock band from September 13 to 17.
A NYC-based institute dedicated to Irish & Irish-American art/culture, the IAC’s showcase includes a film presentation, a literary event and two nights of performance by the band.
Tuesday the 13th offers a presentation of “You Are Not My Mother,” the debut film of writer-director Katie Dolan. Her previous work includes music videos for Pillow Queens tracks “Holy Show,” “Brothers,” and “Gay Girls.”
The 14th showcases a conversation around “This Woman’s Work: Essays on Music,” a collection edited by writer Sinéad Gleeson and musician Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth fame. Gleeson will be joined in discussion by fellow writers Leslie Jameson and Jenn Pelly with Sarah Corcoran of Pillow Queens moderating.
Concluding the residency on the 16th and 17th will be two concert performances featuring special guests SOAK, a Mercury Prize nominated singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland, and Toronto-based indie rock artist Deanna Petcoff.
Having formed in 2016, Pillow Queens have performed with the likes IDLES and Pussy Riot. They have two studio albums to their name and also appeared on CBS’ The Late Late Show in 2021.
