Neon Indian @ Bonnaroo 2010 (WFUV)
Neon Indian Bonnaroo

Neon Indian brought topless body-painted "Neon Indians" on stage at the end of their Bonnaroo set last night (6/10). That set (as of 1:50pm EST) is about to stream online (though whether they cut that part remains to be seen) (note that the streaming times are not EST and that the YouTube stream is video and NPR is audio and that they have different schedules).

Some pictures (NSFW) of the Neon Indians and a video interview with Alan from two hours before he took the Bonnaroo stage, below...

wow. great to see misogyny isn't just limited to corporate cock-rock and top 40s hip-hop.

Indie music is fucking dead.

In Holden's world there would be no nudity of women of any kind, anywhere, surely not for fun or pleasure, and everyone would wear hijabs.

I'm surprised native americans (real indians) don't protest this.

They wouldn't be sexist if they had topless men on stage as well!

what's wrong with being sexy?

An american dressing like an indian for a show is like a white person putting black shoe polish on their face and acting stupid.

Nope, in Holdens world women are just generally treated with respect, shown that one can in fact be sexy and provocative without having to strip down and cheapen themselves to fullfill the fantasies of lonely, emotionally arrested men and certainly not exploited simply for the sake of promoting a rock band. Though I'm not really sure a guy and his computer constitutes a rock band, so I guess he needed something to liven up the performance. :)

Btw - you're thinking of a burqa, a hijab is just a head covering actually worn by men and women. The burqa is also notoriously a symbol of opression towards women, so I'm not sure I see your point.

WOW! Amrit takes photography skills are as shitty as his writing skills! Village Indian/Neon Indian...both helping kill indie music one day at a time folks.
