ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Photo: Zane Zalmene
Elizabete Balčus
Elizabete Balčus is a Latvian musician and performance artist who creates neo-psychedelic dream pop from surprising, collaged, genre juxtapositions that is simultaneously melodic and experimental. She works with a strong visual aesthetic that draws upon modern surrealism, contemporary fashion and geometric imagery. Elizabete attended Latvian Academy of Music in order to study classical and jazz flute, plus opera vocal in Rome’s Santa Cecilia Academy. Anything is permitted in her musical cosmos: looping flute and voice, clicking electro pop beats and playing vegetables as a synthesizer, leaving the listener in a blissed out trance like state, somewhere between the waking and sleeping. Live performances engage the audience with a psychedelic and theatrical situation that is as befuddling as it is mesmerizing.
Yolande Laroche
Yolande Laroche is a Franco Taiwanese-Canadian artist and producer based in Gatineau, Quebec. While actively working with her group projects (Pony Girl, Orchidae) and as a session musician (Tess Roby, Nick Schofield, Michael C. Duguay), she is exploring all avenues of experimental music related to performance, sound installation and dance. In 2022, Yolande is taking a bold step forward with her new hard-hitting eclectic barrage of electronic beats and tripped-out vocals, referencing traces of Death Grips, Björk and Charli XCX.
DJ Lamb Fatale
Zoë Argiropulos-Hunter/lambfatale is a music programmer, event producer, radio host & DJ and writer based in so-called Ottawa. She is the co-founder and managing editor of Also Cool Mag and the founder of First Crush Promotion. In all facets of her work, Zoë is passionate about uplifting and empowering young, LGBTQ+ creatives and emphasizing arts programming as a form of community care.
