VENUS DEMARS

Venus DeMars is a Minneapolis-based transgender musician, visual artist, and performer. She has been performing since the 1980s, notably with her long-running glam-punk band, All the Pretty Horses.

ELOUR

ELOUR (pronounced "allure") is what Elizabeth Ghandour categorizes as Femme Rock. Elizabeth’s direct lyrics, diverse background and classically trained voice, combined with Ned Barclay's soaring guitar, Joe Scarpellino's tasty bass and Ryan Vee's creative drumming, yields a sound that's raucous and rebellious, and yet very stylish.

PARTIAL TRACES

Partial Traces is an indie rock band from Minneapolis featuring members of The Soviettes, Banner Pilot, Off With Their Heads, The Dirty Hits, and more. Our debut album, Glass Beach, was released in 2017, followed by our second album, Low Definition, in 2019. 2020 saw a series of three EPs, and our third album, Wild Surf/Quiet Blues, came out in 2021.
