This week on Geek Girl Riot we chat with Raheem Mander about his creation Surian Seed. We also dive into some trainwrecks. But first, a message from Sherin about racism, police brutality, and the failed justice system in America.
Great news: This is still Genghis Tron. It’s a slightly different flavor, sure. But this is still a band that smashes genres, pushes boundaries, and makes some excellent music while doing so.
Oh boy, I was so excited to chat with the founder and CEO of Music Benefactors, Matt Lutz. Music Benefactors is “brand new company, taking a whole new approach to SEC registered crowdfunding with a sole focus on the music industry”—HOW COOL IS THAT!? Matt explained how he got his idea off the ground, what surprised him about the music industry, and recalled the last time he was able to hear live music before the pandemic.
Music Benefactors officially launched their first artist partnership with The Latin Dead and you can learn more about their mission here.

This week’s Geek Girl Riot is full of #BlackGirlMagic—we share our time talking with Javicia Leslie AKA the new Batwoman, show some love for Malcolm & Marie, and applaud Amanda Gorman.
This EP shows raw honest vulnerability and an intimate insight into Dieden’s inner workings, while making us wish we were dancing in a crowded concert venue with our fists in the air.
Kaleena Zanders is one of the fastest emerging stars in music—and you’ll learn why in this conversation. Kaleena has been compared to tons of 90s house vocalists, and Zanders music brings the genre back to its queer, Black origins. Her new track “RELOAD,” which was written about her personal experience with police brutality at the end of last year captures the idea the love can heal over hate. We talked about her powerful song, what’s coming next and how 2020 has impacted her mental health.
FYI, the video for “RELOAD” is a must-watch! Hope you enjoy the episode and share with a friend.

Geek Girl Riot had so much fun at Outpost Con over the weekend that we just had to share our live n’ Riotous chat with you! And we’re heading into deep space…
After my first full listen of Whatever, Man—from Kansas City’s BLACKSTARKIDS—I was left asking myself, “Wait… did I like this?”
Wrong Generation goes hard right out of the gate with “BITE BACK”, guitars and crashing drums building into a headphone-shaking stomp in less than a minute.
Our Rioters get into some of the new TV they’re excited about, serving up some love for The Great British Baking Show, breaking down all the new femme-tastic trailers, and getting deep with Unsolved Mysteries.
