The Furious Tits performed at the Castro Night Market in San Francisco, addressing climate change and queer sexuality through their punk music. During the pandemic, Zoe Young began writing lyrics reflecting on the planet's state. The band's performance attracted a diverse crowd, yet their usual venues are more intense queer spaces. Members of the band expressed concerns about leaving a safe world for future generations and highlighted the importance of support in collective struggles like climate action. The band is also focusing on creating a song about endangered coral reefs, inspired by poignant imagery from documentaries.
"It's so overwhelming thinking about how I can leave my children a functional world where they can feel safe and experience joy amid all these overlapping crises," David said. "Art is what continues to give me hope."
"We rely on each other, and that can be a model for the climate movement," Zoe said. "This is a long fight, and we don't even get the clean apocalypse where we're all gonna die. We're going to have to figure out how to live through it. There's no way to do it if we don't do it together."
Miju recalls a scene from the Chasing Coral documentary on Netflix, featuring an aerial view of fluorescent coral in shades of purple, blue and green. In the film, the documentarian notes the vibrant colors represent 'the incredibly beautiful phase of death,' as if 'the corals are saying, 'Look at me, please notice.'"
