Special Interest

On every level, Special Interest is uncompromising: in their adventurous sound, their high-energy live performances, and their convictions. Dance music and punk culture have flirted in the warehouse before, but Special Interests desire to dismantle genre is informed by a larger abolitionist worldview that resists constraint, category, and conformity. Their music is a soundtrack to dancing the pain away as much as raging against injustice.

Siksa is a Polish slang word for a naive and sexually attractive young woman. It is also the band name adopted by two artists - spoken word poet and punk singer Alex Freixeit and bassist Buri - who have become adept at making certain sections of society uncomfortable.
