From the organizers: Glüme was born & raised in Los Angeles underneath the Hollywood sign. As a child actor, dancer, & singer, she got her start early on Broadway at the age of 6. She grew up leading a life fit for a film; full of magic & tragedy. After being diagnosed with Prinzmetal disease, she found a lane of her own while recording music at home. As a solo artist, she is happy to be here telling her stories & making art that she hopes can help people find their way over the rainbow. Her sophomore album is out on Valentine's Day 2023 featuring collaborations with Rufus Wainwright, Sean Ono Lennon, STRFKR, Of Montreal, & Johnny Jewel. Twin Ritual is influenced by Synth-pop, Post- Punk and Indie. They deliver upbeat drums, swirling synths, pulsing bass, driving guitar hooks, and dreamy female vocals, the band’s members include Laura Levenhagen (vocals/synth), Anthony Ramirez of Glass Spells (bass/synths), Antonio Estrada (guitar), Michael Buehl (drums). "There is an easy comparison to artists such as Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and most certainly All About Eve with the band’s strong female lead, but Twin Ritual’s sound is more power-pop driven than their predecessors, with hints of The Killers, Interpol, and Editors snuck in there." - Post-Punk.com This is a 21+ event
