Bad Bad Hats
Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kerry Alexander and Chris Hoge met in college and formed the band in 2012. In the 10 years of BBH, they have toured the country many times in their trusty minivan, sampling the best local cuisine along the way. BBH has toured with The Beths, Margaret Glaspy, The Front Bottoms, Hippo Campus, and Michelle Branch, among many others. Their fourth album Bad Bad Hats is out now on Don Giovanni Records.


Party Nails
Before she was Party Nails, Elana Carroll was the tween-dream-open-mic-queen of Chatham, NY. Garageband, meanwhile, sparked a passion for technology, revealing an artist equal parts frontman and engineer, ham and bone. Elana’s love of the studio has only grown, while a growing audience continues to adore her onstage.
Pillow Talk, Party Nails long-awaited third album (out January 2025 on Eye Knee Records), finds songwriter-producer-artist Elana Carroll in a honey colored party mood. Opening with “Same Old Song”, an indie rock ode sung into the rear view mirror, our hero seems to have chucked her bluer feelings into the backseat (with snacks) and let “fun” sit shotgun all the way to the slumber party. Carroll and her unhinged musical prowess deftly drive her gang of emotions through her particular brand of brash synth pop (“First Responder”, “Movie Scene”), as well as the grunge and punk-infused second half (“Someway Somehow”, “Do U Know How”). Detours abound as she careens through genre twists and turns, before pulling up to the blanket-fort for a heart to heart with your head on the pillow next to her (“Trigger Warning”, Dirty Water”).
Party Nails debuted in 2015 on Neon Gold’s famed blog with Break, toured in 2017 (with PVRIS and Lights), produced and wrote with produced feminist rock duo Deap Vally and lent her vocal magic to LŪN, Urban Heat, Battle Tapes, MitiS, Getter, and more. Elana’s music has been in movies and television (Glass, Girls, The L Word: Generation Q, Nancy Drew, Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin) featured in Billboard, PAPER, Noisey, Earmilk, Paste, etc, and on Spotify playlists Fresh Finds, Undercurrents and more. She operates Top Coat recording studio in Los Angeles, where she records, produces and mixes for Party Nails and others. She’s also pretty funny (check “Rockin' on the Rag,” her period pride canticle for Loren Bouchard’s Apple animated series Central Park).
