Pussy Riot's fellow artists aren't taking the Russian band's two-year prison sentence lightly.

While performing in Moscow last week, Madonna applauded the courage of the all-girl punk trio, who at the time were on trial for staging a protest show at a Russian Orthodox cathedral in March. The Material Girl also appealed for their freedom.

But just as Pussy Riot's fitting new song, "Putin Lights Up the Fires," was dropping today, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Yekaterina Samutsevich and Maria Alyokhina were being found guilty of hooliganism.

"FYI. We will never being playing a show in Russia as long as they imprison innocent musicians for speaking their minds peacefully," Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney tweeted today upon hearing that the band had been convicted.
