Natalie playing bass onstage at Anthrocon. The colorful lighting has cast everything in bright reds, pinks, and purples, and is lighting up the holographic parts of her outfit super brightly, almost as if they're glowing green, blue, purple, and pink.

Natalie's hands, reaching forward to play her keytar on it's stand. She is wearing holographic rainbow finger-less gloves and a piece of a trans pride flag is tied to her wrist.

the custom paint job Jasper did on Natalie's keytar is SO rainbow and glittery 🤩🌈💖

fun fact: even though band outfits change frequently, a lot of thought goes into them! these were some outfit concepts Jasper drew up while searching for clothes for Madeline and Natalie :)

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 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

Hey loves, we could really use some positivity over here...if our music has ever moved you, could you let us know by interacting with this post? 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, by DreamStates from the album Comets

"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 :)
