A powerful new statement featuring some of her most intense and thought-provoking work to date.
When Laura Jane Grace questioned the right’s double standard of gender construct with the release of “Your God” by questioning whether the Almighty has a penis, she gave Rolling Stone a logical response: “If you refer to your God as He and Him, but you will not refer to a transgender person with the pronouns that are theirs…that’s just insane.” My guess is that Grace’s upcoming album with her band The Trauma Tropes, “Adventure Club“, will be equally filled with uneasy queries that offer less simple answers.
‘Adventure Club’ was recorded in Athens, Greece and made possible by a grant through the Onassis Air Program, “an artistic research, residency, and fellowship program that fosters artistic process and experimentation by bringing together creative practitioners from a variety of geographies and practices”, which Grace was awarded a fellowship through.

The album features notable performances from outside collaborators known as the Trauma Tropes, including Grace’s wife, Paris Campbell (vocals), as well as Athens-based musicians, Jacopo Fokas (bass) and Orestis Lagadinos (drums).
On standout, “Your God (God’s Dick),” Grace and Campbell belt out some of Grace’s most anthemic lyrics ever penned, with an a capella intro channeling the stadium power pop of Queen.
On “Wearing Black,” Grace critiques the corporatization of and police presence at Pride events, with her signature punk ethos and raw, unabashed outlook on full display.
