Venus Grrrls

Ethereal and tenacious, Venus Grrrls are an all girl rock band from Leeds, promoting the participation, acknowledgement, and respect of women in the music industry.

Aiming to bring fortitude and activism through hard hitting alternative rock music, the quintet use electronic and astrological sounds to amplify their sonic signature.

Gordian Stimm (she/her)

Gordian Stimm is an exceedingly exciting experimental artist who isn’t afraid to throw off the constraints of time and space.

Her sound is ever evolving, even within the space of a track. Recent release, Flirty Lucre for Public Sector, amalgamates imaginings of experiences, emotions and moods all through what can only be described as sound collage.

Claiming a ‘signature creeping-insect sound design’… what more do you want?! Prepare to hear some serious soundwaves.

tinyumbrellas (she/they)

dt began creating their own brand of, what they would call, daydream indie pop at home, on their bedroom floor. Soon, they got to grips with GarageBand, and tinyumbrellas was born along with the song Stardust.

tinyumbrellas debut EP is set for release on March 16th, a collection of self-produced songs encapsulating a myriad of kaleidoscopic memories and feelings from teen years!

Su, I Think (she/they)

Su, I Think is a musician and artist based in London.

Their work blends dark electronica with experimental pop, balancing a poetic sensibility and emotional depth with tongue-in-cheek darkness.
