blends the influences of artists such as Bowie and Sex Pistols with a dose of heavy guitar rock and outrageous costumes, into a self-described Glam-Punk Trans-Band.
Big Salt add post-punk revival energy to raw and bluesy powerhouse vocals and rhythms to make a growling wall of garage rock sound
Spit Takes is a punk band out of Minneapolis formed in 2023. Lead singer VansAnn delivers wry, unrepentant observations on misogyny, sexuality, and theology from a very personal perspective, while the band serves up catchy melodies and driving beats. Spit Takes' releases have drawn "...direct comparisons to one of the leading bands of the first wave punk scene, X-Ray Spex, led by vocalist Poly Styrene," and garnered enthusiastic reviews: "…big riffs and thunderous drumming paired with mosh-pit friendly hooks and choruses. At its core, it’s a hilarious and defiantly crude, feminist anthem delivered with a zero f*cks given aplomb."
Transcendence Cabaret is a primarily BIPOC transgender/nonbinary/agender/genderfluid/two spirit troupe that brings you 2 full sets of multiple acts inside the theater between bands
DJ Lydie-Boy spins electronic dance music, dance-pop, electropop and bubblegum pop, mid 2000’s pop

DJ Demonica spins classic punk, psychobilly, post punk, garage, indie, new wave, and everything in between
