Show Description:

Linnea’s Garden
Linnea’s Garden plays glam punk rock you can dance to. Imagine the angular guitars of Television, primal bass lines of The Clash, danceworthy grooves of Blondie, and otherworldly songwriting and stage show of David Bowie, fronted by a queer singer/songwriter/scientist. Loud, shiny and full of distortion: they do it cuz they like to do it. They say the things people are afraid to say.

The Boston-based trio comprised of Linnea Herzog on guitar/vocals, Hands on bass/backing vocals and Super Tough Ray Clough on drums first met as competing finalists in the 2019 Rock ‘n’ Roll Rumble with their previous bands, PowerSlut and Corner Soul.

Linnea’s Garden’s debut EP “Nowhere Friday Nights,” released in March 2021, was born out of late night jam sessions that salvaged a pandemic summer. Drawing inspiration from ‘60s girl groups and ‘70s glam rock, the EP challenges listeners’ expectations with “consistently catchy and subversive takes on power pop and punk” (Allston Pudding). In April 2022, Linnea’s Garden released their full-length album “Fashion Show” on Red on Red Records. It’s 13 “honest and electrifying” (Rock n’ Heavy) tracks of “disco dressed down in gutter glam (Boston Herald), a “classic in the making” (WoNoBlog) “just waiting to erupt on a dance floor” (If It’s Too Loud). The single “Cut & Paste” was one of Bill Kelly’s Personal Picks on Little Steven’s Coolest Songs in the World on SiriusXM, and Linnea’s Garden received Boston and New England Music Awards nominations for Punk Act of the Year in 2022.

Linnea’s Garden released their “Mirrors” EP in November 2023. The lead single “Comeback” celebrates a joyous return to live shows and the music video directed by Natalie Peracchio was an official selection of Grrl Haus Cinema 2023. “Pathological Liar,” the second single, is a pop-punk banger about how sometimes the right relationship – and your best life – is hiding in plain sight. The queer joy-filled video was the band’s second collaboration with Carissa Johnson, who contributed bass and vocals on “In The City,” a dance-rock song that explores the freedom of finding yourself in a new place.

Linnea’s Garden’s newest EP, Looking forward to the moment, was released on November 14, 2024. It’s a celebration of life for the places that didn’t last, and what it means to find oneself after surviving it all. The band embarked on their first larger Midwest tour following the release of lead single “Chaotic Bisexual Summer,” and released music videos for each of the EP’s five tracks, culminating in an EP release mini-tour in New England and Spring 2025 Desert Garden Tour of the Southwest US.

Dog Logic

4 friends who got together to start fights and share one boyfriend

Lauryl Sulfate and her Ladies of Leisure are an electropop duo from Milwaukee, WI. Known for their high energy performances and empowering lyrics, the LOL’s live shows deliver a dance party with a mission.

The band is a Milwaukee indie radio staple and have been a featured act at Summerfest, Milwaukee PrideFest and Riverwest FemFest.

The LOL’s first album, “Dance Music Saves Lives” was a glittery, hopeful love letter to the political possibilities of disco. Their newest album, The Afterparty, sparkles with the same knack for sticky retro hooks and irrepressible beats while offering up a more existential spin on the power of dance music. It is available for listening or download on all major streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal.
