What Are People For?

What Are People For? is a dynamic collaboration between artists Anna McCarthy and Manuela Rzytki, blending contemporary punk energy with irresistible groove and absurdist humor. Their music showcases elements of both Tom Tom Club's hip shaking vibes and Throbbing Gristle's dark provocative content. The duo released the 2-track album "Criminals / Illusions" in 2024, following their debut vinyl release in 2022. Their beats are rooted in old school HipHop loop principles and an authentic love for the analog. Live performances by What Are People For? are eccentric, wild, and unapologetic, radiating queer sexuality and transcending B52's thrift store aesthetics, creating a space for collective dreaming.
