The following description comes from the event organizer.

Hot Step-Mom is a 5-piece alternative rock band who has been playing together since July 2021. The band’s current members consist of two angry front-girls: Anna Norris and Sophia Barger, Cameron McLennan (guitar), Ben Babcock (drums) and Jarin Szewczyk (bass). With each member having several influences, Hot Step-Mom manages to make in-your-face music with elements of punk, blues, jazz, funk, alt-pop and dad rock. The band isn’t afraid to say what they mean, with their music often containing themes of self-loathing, dissatisfaction with society and resentment towards loved ones. Hot Step-Mom is in the midst of working on a 13-track rock record to be released during October of 2022.

The Seattle-based band, THEM, is a new teen pop-rock project quickly gaining momentum. Since the highly anticipated release of their debut single BAD 4 U, the multi-instrumentalist quartet has shared bills with acts including Duckwrth, Dayglow, Charli XCX, Jens Lekman and MICHELLE. They also headlined Seattle's historic Paramount Theatre with The Black Tones last December for the 30th anniversary for Nirvana's Paramount debut. THEM has taken Seattle's music industry by storm charting #5 on KEXP within the first week of BAD 4 U's radio debut, starting the girls off on the right foot. Since then, they have made appearances on KING 5's Evening Magazine, Jam in the Van, the Stranger, Audiofemme and more. The group, composed of four talented young girls ages 17-20, Thompson, Hudson, Ellie, and Maia started in the basement of their local music school but are just getting started on taking over the genre of pop music. Listen to their debut project, 'the car ep' out now.
