With dancey drum and bass and psychedelic guitar, they recently became a 4-piece with the addition of a saxophone player. A lot of their influence is from the punk and post-punk bands of the 70s, like The Au Pairs, Gang of Four, and the B52s. Ancient Wing has performed at events like the Clarion Ally Block Party and Ladyfest, and can often be found playing at gallery openings or a packed Oakland house show. Listen to their first album here: https://ancientwing.bandcamp.com/ AH MER AH SU AH-Mer-AH-Su is the music project of interdisciplinary artist Star Amerasu, whose music and art is based upon her experiences living loud and proud as a queer black trans woman. While her early work was influenced primarily by folk and choral music, she has recently begun experimenting with electronic indie pop. Residing in Oakland, California, Star is a Siren Witch Poptronic Princess and thus takes for granted the power and influence of magic, and her connections to the astral plane. Star has performed 3 consecutive years at the San Francisco Pride Trans March and in 2015 performed for the first time on the Main Stage at Oakland Pride. She has graced international stages captivating audiences with her looped vocals and live electronic percussion in Berlin and Paris along with spots at the Annual Fresh Meat Festival, SomArts, and The News in San Francisco; Safehouse Arts, Dixon Place Theatre and the Times Square Arts Center in New York City; Long Winter and Unit 2 In Toronto, Canada and at Montreal's Slut Island. AH-Mer-AH-Su released her debut studio EP "Eclipsing" in the Spring of 2016. www.soundcloud.com/staramerasu DJs: Jenna Riot (co-director of Queerly Beloved!)

OND4 turned to DJing as practice spaces became scarce and requests to DJ came more frequently. The energetic connection with her audience is what made things click in a way she thought could only happen through playing in bands. OND4 has since studied at Dubspot LA where she was mentored by such greats as DJ Rap, Lacey IQ and DJ Reborn. Totally passionate and dedicated to creating high quality atmosphere for house parties and club nights alike, OND4 knows how to get and keep a party going. Now residing in the Bay Area, she plays all over and you can find her holding it down at her new event, Lucid Wave, in Oakland. www.soundcloud.com/OND4 DJ IZLA (LA) IZLA (Ivette Alé) is the founder of La Joteria and Brooklyn's original queer global bass party AZUCAR.
