A very proud fennec stands on the newly renovated Lock 3 stage in downtown Akron. She cradles her hollow-body, Syd, preparing for one hell of a performance to come.
Gotta keep on rockin'.

a photo of me, a biracial enby, shot from behind, showing off the back of my black hoodie which reads "This Machine Kills Transphobia"
A photo of a dim room in a clothing store with a trans pride flag displayed on the wall, lit by multicolor lights, in which members of DreamStates play music.
Another photo of the same room, but this time Ryan Cassata and the Top Surgeons are performing

My buds over at @dreamstates.bsky.social are dope as hell. Genre-flexible grooves nestled largely at the intersection of disco and indie rock

Maybe share a song you like? So much negativity around trans folks rn, I'd love to know we're making some kind of difference, even if it's small. thx :)

A digital illustration of a winged anthropomorphic cat with blue jay inspired patterning, but in purple, black, and white. She has short, messy brown hair, an iridescent crop top and shorts with a half skirt, and a trans pride colored tail. There is a strip of a trans pride flag tied around her wrist as well, paw holding a microphone that she is happily singing into.
moves like a cat, sings like a bird, and is 100% wife material

Madeline stands center stage belting a note, with a semicircle of lights illuminating her from behind to contrast with the bright daylight in front.
Jo, Natalie, and Madeline lined along the stage at a diagonal. Natalie is playing her keytar as Jo plays bass and Maddy shimmies.
Best.
Show.
Ever.
Thanks you to Akron Pride and Shane Wynn Photography for the excellent photos!

"The Bringer" is from our 5th studio album, "Comets"!
This track was, like nearly all songs on this album, written circa 2006 while I was in LA, with no lyrics, just a melody. I saw this album as a chance to "tie up loose ends" in my song vault, lol :)

I want to make a different kind of #trans #artshare. This will probably just flop unseen, but can I get a thread of trans MUSICIANS to drop links to your favorite album/music video/song?
I'll follow-back and share as much as I can.
