MUNA on fighting homophobia: 'There's a solace in knowing that you’re right. There’s a solace in just knowing [homophobes and transphobes] have it so fucked up, and the logic is so twisted.'
MUNA is the queer indie pop band we need right now. Whether the trio is telling us “life’s so fun” with a “mini-skirt and rollerblades on” or reminding us that there is a place “where everyone’s gonna lay down their weapon,” the California-based band has been providing emotional support music for queers everywhere for more than five years now.
After playing some new songs, all of which are from the band’s freshly released third, self-titled album, Katie informed the audience that the band was going to play an older song. It was one that was relevant to the safe space Kacey Musgraves created with her tour, Gavin explained, as means of set-up. With that, the band launched into “I Know A Place”—and the crowd’s response, mine included, was deafening., is a fantastic, fist-pumping track. It’s also especially poignant for me.
In our chat, the trio opened up about embracing the “queer band” moniker, whether the industry is becoming more accepting, and what it’s like creating music during such a tumultuous time.I read that when the band was just starting out, you all were hesitant at first about being called a “queer band.” Why was that and what has changed now?The root of the hesitance is something that still comes up a lot of the time. We've just gotten a lot better at seeing past it.
