Filthy Friends is a rock supergroup that formed in January 2016, originally to perform live covers of David Bowie songs. Its members are Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney, Peter Buck of R.E.M., Kurt Bloch and Scott McCaughey of the Minus 5, and Bill Rieflin of King Crimson. In October 2016, the group released its first song, "Despierta" (Spanish for "awake"), which criticizes U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, as part of the 30 Days, 30 Songs project. The group intends to release its debut album in 2017. "Any Kind of Crowd", the group's debut single, was released on March 1, 2017, with a 7" release that includes a cover of the song "Editions of You" on Kill Rock Stars planned for April 22.
