Pelicant is an electrifying Minneapolis-based indie rock band that soars on stage with high energy, emotional intensity, and an undeniable dancefloor allure. Their music is packed with punchy, guitar-driven melodies, infectious hooks, and heartfelt lyrics. With influences like Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, and Daft Punk, you will be dancing along in no time!

Ditch Pigeon blends shoegaze haze, indie melancholy, and post-metal weight into a sound that feels both dreamy and cathartic. Known for sentimental lyrics, melodic guitar work, and spellbinding vocals, the band moves effortlessly between intimate slow burns and walls of fuzz-drenched noise. Their live shows balance humor, vulnerability, and raw intensity, earning them a growing following across the Twin Cities DIY scene while carving out a style they proudly call “cute-gaze” today, for themselves.
