Who's paying the bills for Pussy Riot?

Seems the wild and crazy punk rock feminists pretty much stole the show over there at the Glastonbury Festival. Yup, a couple of the gals were doing some creative performance-art stuff with Pyot Verzilov, who may or may not be the former Pete from Mississauga. Pyot was pretending to be a Ukrainian separatist and the girls were pretending to give him a good anti-Putinist thrashing.

Most serendipitously, Pussy Riot is getting wall-to-wall PR all across Canada, on the very same weekend, for headlining the Toronto Pride Parade!

So here's my befuddlement. You don't get on a stage at Glastonbury for nothing. And you don't get from Russia to Berlin to England to Toronto for nothing. And you don't headline one of the most iconic Pride Parades in the world for nothing.

Where's the money coming from?

As far as I can tell they're not making anything from their musical and video endeavours.

They've never had a paid gig, at least not paid for by the folks who hear it.

Yet they are globe-trotting celebs, whoever they are.

Where's the money coming from?
