Tracy City is a gang of salty broads revving the engines of garage rock by way of New York City no-wave queercore. Formed by underground film director Katrina del Mar (vocals), with Monica Falcone on guitar, Genny Slag on drums and Betsy Todd on bass, Tracy City is perhaps the only all lesbian band in the world, formed entirely of perimenopausal Riot Grrrls. Think Bush Tetras meet the Pandoras by way of Gary Numan. Power retro-pop. Devo, B-52s, The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, Gang of Four. “Katrina del Mar is the best front person since Patti Smith” according to Thalia Zedek of Come. www.tracycityband.xyz

Karyn Kuhl Band “She’s ’80s punk in her early days in Gut Bank; she’s psychedelic hard rock in her ’90s splendor in Sexpod, where she, along with close-knit band members Alice Genese and Tia Palmisano, displayed raw bursts of passion. Her powerful guitar and haunting voice have been a constant throughout her career as she further developed herself as a songwriter and musician, playing solo and then, in 2010, forming the Karyn Kuhl Band, whose members have changed over time.” Cindy Staff NJArts

GSX – When Sarah Greenwood steps onstage, the audience pays attention. She holds her guitar with ferocious confidence, her wide-set stance and aggressive stage-presence mirroring the greatest of rock ‘n’ roll legends. In tight jeans and well-worn motorcycle boots, Greenwood holds her own in a genre of music dominated by men.
The Swiss-born Greenwood is the guitar-shredding front woman of the New York hard rock band, GSX, and she leads the band with tough, honest lyrics, sung with soulful grit. She describes the music of GSX as the “Pretenders, Joan Jett, early Hole, meets Soundgarden, AC/ DC and Queens of the Stone Age.” https://open.spotify.com/artist/0CeFkbe8sYAaRitS0kEIhG
