The Annie Dukes | Iridescent Pools | EVG | Esther Kohl

I had never worked with puff pastry before but I’m already addicted and dreaming of all the things I can fill inside of these croissant like crusts – Nutella, Thanksgiving leftovers, Nutella..

Iridescent Pools is a rock/pop group moving through the queercore and riot grrrl lineage, with an emerging footprint on streaming platforms. In New York City, they’ve appeared at Arlene’s Grocery, on bills alongside Father Before Me, Digamy, Indeyevid, and Bending Over Backwards.

Eevie Echoes is a rock/pop artist heard on New York City stages, including Elsewhere. They have appeared on bills with acts such as VIAL and Scarlet Demore, and also perform in the band format Eevie Echoes & The Locations.

EVG is a Rock/Pop group appearing on New York City bills at Bowery Palace. They’ve shared lineups there with The Annie Dukes, Iridescent Pools, Eevie Echoes, and Frida Kill, moving easily between scene-adjacent sounds that nod to queercore and riot grrrl without treating them as costume.

Frida Kill is a group working in the loose category of free music on New York City bills, with appearances at Purgatory, including the series DOWNSTAIRS: Karaoke (Free). Their sets often sit between improvisation and performance gesture, shaped by the room as much as by repertoire.

Esther Kohl is a New York City–based performer whose work moves freely across genres, often turning up in the downtown orbit around Cassette. She has shared bills and collaborations with artists including Miles Hewitt, Andy Nicholl, Drawl, Slow Down Sunny, Untitled Freak, Wulfer, Ross Newhouse, and Malachi Elijah, linking her practice to a wider network of experimental music and visual-art contexts.
