About the Bands

The Shondes (taking their name from the Yiddish word for "shame" or "disgrace") are a band from Brooklyn, NY whose dramatic brand of rock music has been compared to Sleater-Kinney, Patti Smith and The Raincoats. Their instrumentation includes drums (Temim Fruchter), bass
(Louisa Solomon), guitar (Fureigh) and violin (Elijah Oberman) and vocals (primarily Solomon).

The Shondes are known for their melodic rock sound and a live show that explodes with energy. Their music draws from feminist punk, classical and Jewish music, which combine to create songs that are often both heartbreaking and hopeful. They bring an infectious urgency
to their live performances that gets audiences on their feet and singing along.

NickyClick is a producer, songwriter and video artist based out of
Durham, NH. The Nicky Click is the physical manifestation of one woman who focused on capturing, preserving, and making into song; the experiences and feelings of those who passed through her world. She has been described as a Sexy, fun, dreamy, mysterious queer.






The Astrogasms
Former members of Secret Cock & Pelvic Circus come together to rock and converge on the queer music.


















The New Possibilities is a rockin’ , energetic cover band from Massachusetts, consisting of 4 veterans of the Boston music scene. Bass player Pam Kerensky, and guitarist Erin Murphy-Dunn have played together in the original band Juniper’s Daughter for many years and Julie Sweeney has been performing around town as a singer/songwriter for quite some time as well. Drummer Kari Paisley-Flango has played in a multitude of music projects, including a 5 year stint with the original band, Default Outfit , her own solo drumming gigs, and currently also subs with the funk/disco cover band, Booty Vortex. The New Possibilities was born out of friendship, a mutual love for music, and the need for FUN.
