May Klug is a Minneapolis-based pop phenom whose synth-driven tracks lean hard into house music but get playful as well. May & the Ladies will be joined by locals including rapper Basal Jones, Grace Olson’s pop rock project Norris Court, singer-songwriter Chakari Daezhare, and The Jaws of Life. It’s an entire program celebrating queerpop, hip-hop, and rock 'n roll.
media release: May Klug is a composer based in Minneapolis, MN. Her project May + The Ladies celebrates high-femme pop spectacle, drawing from her experimental synthesizer practice, past as a frontwoman in queercore bands, and deep love of house, bubblegum bass, and electroclash. Joined by Jared Hemming and Cleo Pupillo, this is May's heartfelt, desperate, and misguided attempt to make extremely likable music.
