http://andrejkoymasky.com/liv/fam/bios1/sams1.jpg that's even a photo from the scandal FRONT PAGE HEADLINE - unsigned comment
If you can show us a reference for this, please add it to the article. Dondiasco 11:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
On a different note, I have some quite clear photos of her from a live le tigre gig. How would I go about attaching them to the article? I took the photos myself - does this mean that it's fine by copyright restrictions? 194.82.121.38 00:06, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There should be some mention of her new collab with Johanna? Wwwhatsup 19:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, I haven't heard about it, but if you could get a reference about it, the please add it to the article. I'd be interested in finding out more about it. Thanks in advance. Dondiasco 10:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the article seems a bit thin it's because the following was removed in this diff on the basis that it was unsourced. Please try and find reliable sources so that it may be re-added. Wwwhatsup (talk) 05:42, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
LE TIGRE
Samson joined Le Tigre in 2000 when co-founder Sadie Benning left the band before the album Feminist Sweepstakes was recorded. Samson had previously worked as the band’s projectionist and operator of Benning's slide show during live performances in support of their first record, Le Tigre. The self-proclaimed "underground electro-feminist performance artists" combined visuals, music and dance in their performances. Samson's contributions to Le Tigre include the song "Viz", which deals with her experiences as a member of a sexuality minority, and “New Kicks” which contains excerpts of a protest that Samson recorded.
'Feminist Sweepstakes' (2001) came out on Chicks on Speed's record label. Le Tigre’s final album, This Island (2004), was Le Tigre's first on a major label (Universal Records). Ric Ocasek of the Cars produced one track, "Tell You Now." Samson and her Le Tigre bandmates Kathleen Hanna and Johanna Fateman also produced the Christina Aguilera song “My Girls ft. Peaches”, for Aguilera's album Bionic. In the second half of 2006 the band decided to take an extended break.
JD SAMSON & MEN
In 2007 Samson and Fateman formed a new project, MEN, as a DJ, production, and remix team. After initial songwriting and outside remix work, Fateman took time off to have a child, and Samson recruited the members of her side band Hirsute, including Ladybug Transistor’s Michael O’Neill and Ginger Brooks Takahashi, to perform live as MEN. Samson has said that their music speaks of “issues such as wartime economies, sexual compromise, and the demand for liberties through lyrical content and an inventive, high-energy stage show”.
In 2009 MEN self-released an EP called MEN that sold out following US tours with Peaches and Gossip. MEN also toured in the UK and Europe during this time. Their debut album Talk About Body was released on February 1, 2011 via IAMSOUND in the US and through Sony/Columbia in Europe. The album included singles for the songs “Who Am I To Feel So Free”, “Off Our Backs”, and “Credit Card Babies”.
In the spring of 2012 MEN changed their name to JD SAMSON & MEN and released an EP Next in April followed in September by the song “Let Me Out Or Let Me In” in support of the Russian feminist punk-rock collective Pussy Riot. JD SAMSON & MEN are currently recording their second full-length album and continue to tour.
OTHER BANDS
Samson also has performed as a member of the band The New England Roses and as keyboard player of electro-punk artist Peaches' live band, The Herms, with Radio Sloan and Samantha Maloney.
SONGWRITING
Samson has a songwriting and publishing deal through Universal Music Publishing Group. She has written songs for Christina Aguilera (“My Girls ft. Peaches”), Junior Senior (“Can I Get Get Get”), Cobra Starship (“Shwick”), French Horn Rebellion (“Girls ft. JD Samson and Fat Tony”), The Aikiu, Bitch the Ferron and Pelifics (“Spray Painted Knuckles”) among others.
PERFORMANCE ART
Samson is a co-founder of the performance art group Dykes Can Dance. In 2003, she released JD's Lesbian Calendar, a collaboration with photographer Cass Bird, which was followed up in 2006 with JD's Lesbian Utopia, a calendar documenting Samson's travels around the U.S. in an RV.
FILM APPEARANCE
Samson also appeared in John Cameron Mitchell's 2006 film Shortbus as "Jid", a patron of the Shortbus club.
COMMENTARY
Samson wrote a widely-quoted piece on the economics of being an artist for the Huffington Post in 2011. Titled “I Love My Job But It Made Me Poorer” the article examines the financial realities of a long-term career in music. In 2013 she began writing occasionally for The Talkhouse including a review of Bats for Lashes album The Haunted Man.

Someone switched this to they/them pronouns without a source about a year back, and then it got changed back to "she". FYI, everything I can find says that Samson uses she/her.(2016 interview, description of her pronouns in 2019, NYT using "her" in 2020 article for which she posed in a photo -- presumably they asked her about her pronoun preference because they are also using "they" as appropriate elsewere) Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:36, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
