Powerhouse art-punk, cello-core, **Lung**, consists of Kate Wakefield, a classically trained opera singer and cellist, and drummer Daisy Caplan, formerly the bassist of Foxy Shazam. Fierce, ethereal, and heavy as hell, Lung rocks with the intensity of early grunge, layered with sinister undertones. Described as "loud, dissonant, innovative, and fearless" (Fair Shakes and Just Dessert). Wakefield runs her cello through distortion pedals and big amps, and Caplan pounds out earthquaking beats on epic horn-shaped, vintage drums. A relentless touring machine, the duo has played over 800 shows across North America and Europe, on bills with Brainiac, Screaming Females, Big Business, Chat Pile and so many more.**Noun** is the solo musical project of Screaming Females lead guitar player Marissa Paternoster. Paternoster started recording as Noun in 2004 and had a track featured on the I Heard This First CD compilation, her first release was a 2009 self-released cassette called Forgotten Grin compiling 5 years' worth of material, reissued on Don Giovanni Records in 2013. Noun's first full-length, Holy Hell was released in 2010 by Don Giovanni Records.
**Zora** is a 22 year old artist, producer, singer, and rapper. She has been writing music since the age of 14, taking inspiration after Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Janet Jackson, Prince, Kendrick Lamar, SOPHIE, and so many others. Zora’s sound can be described as Alternative Pop. She writes, produces, and records all of her own stuff, using instruments such as the piano, the ES2 synth, and electric guitar to bring her ideas to life. Originally, she began as a classically trained pianist, from ages 6 to 10, taking after her family history of classical pianists. She was set in pursuing that as a career before becoming involved in opera and musical theater at LACHSA at age 13. It was here that she began to discover her love for performing. She could not get enough of the stage lights, choreography, charisma, and charm that it took to put on such spectacular shows. At age 14, she started to go to parties with her dad, Barry Robinson and help him during his dj sets, suggesting songs for him to play as the night went on. In doing so, Zora found her love for hip hop and pop music. Artist’s like Lauryn Hill, A Tribe Called Quest, and Janet Jackson would mold her into the pop artist that she is today. She collected all of the records along with her dad and found a new love for popular music.
After getting rejected from the vocal jazz program at her school, Zora was put into amusic technology class, which she initially despised. Little did she know this class would be a blessing in disguise. Zora began studying choreography of artists such as Britney Spears, Janet Jackson, and Beyonce, and started creating original songs that she could choreograph to. Zora started messing around with synthesizers, vocoders, and Logic Pro X, and began to fall in love with the music software. By age 15, she had released her first EP, titled “Scene One”, inspired by the works of Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott. Later that year, she released her debut mixtape “City Lights” at the age of 16. At age 17, Zora moved on to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston for three years, and released her second mixtape “Millennial” at age 18. Here, she was able to merge her love of singing, producing, and dancing, and began putting on one hour shows at the Berklee Cafeteria. At age 20, Zora headlined her first festival “Meet the Ground” Festival, and received her first ever write up from the Berklee Press. At age 21, Zora moved on from Berklee and relocated to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she began crafting her official debut album, “Z1”. It was during this time that she began to learn how to play the electric guitar, so she could be like Prince. She learned to play guitar as she crafted this album, working alongside her cousin to help her out with some of the songs. At age 22, “Z1” was officially released and received critical acclaim, being Zora’s biggest launch yet. Zora’s main mission within music is to spread awareness, positivity, and freedom ofexpression. It is her main belief that people are only truly happy when they’re able to be exactly who they are, at all times. Zora implements these messages in her lyricism and hopes to be able to impact the lives of others in a positive way, no matter how widespread.
