Dwarves with The Crudes, Donzii, and more

The Dwarves, formed in Chicago, are known for their crude, high-speed punk rock led by Blag Dahlia and He Who Cannot Be Named. Notorious for wild antics, they gained fame with 1990’s "Blood Guts & Pussy." Their sound evolved in albums like "Sugarfix" and "The Dwarves Invented Rock & Roll." The band worked with artists like Dexter Holland and Nick Oliveri and released music on labels like Sub Pop and Epitaph. Their provocative style maintained a cult following despite controversies.

Miami's Donzii, formed by Jenna Balfe and Dennis Fuller, blends post-punk, industrial, and No Wave funk. Known for haunting vocals and poetic lyrics, they aim to inspire deeper joy.
