French-Canadian singer/songwriter Geneviève Castrée, otherwise known as Woelv, will perform at Rust Belt Books on Sunday (Oct. 14), starting at 8pm. A French-speaker originally from Québec, Geneviève was inspired as a teenager by notorious British bands like Subhuman and Crass. In her own (translated) words: “I would write songs about obscene things, and I was the singer because I couldn’t play guitar fast enough.” Over the years she’s gotten more directed and measured, singing songs about foreign policy and general complacency. Her drawings and comics have been published in Drawn & Quarterly and her visual art is the subject of a show currently running at a gallery in Tokyo. Joining Woelv at the show are local performers Jax Deluca and Al Larsen.
