Girls Rock Austin Festive Fest fundraiser w/ Peelander-Z, We Don't Ride Llamas, Kady Rain, Transy Warhol, Carrie Fussell, Caleb De Casper (guest speaker)

“Empowering girls, trans and gender non-conforming youth through music, mentorship & self-care,” reads the creed of local nonprofit Girls Rock Austin, who are hosting their annual Festive Fest fundraiser at Feels So Good. Celebrating 2022 landmarks like becoming the first nonprofit to partner with the Moody Center and providing over 250,000 meals to families facing food insecurity through their Operation Lunch Box program, the organization’s lineup of queer artists and allies includes Peelander-Z – a Power Rangers-esque pop-rock group from the Z area of the planet Peelander. Sibling quartet We Don’t Ride Llamas extends angsty rock vibes following December single “The Flies.” Kady Rain brings a rainbow aesthetic to the stage, along with queer art rockers Transy Warhol and Carrie Fussell of disbanded psychedelic collective Calliope Musicals. The fest will also host Femme Boy creator Caleb De Casper as a special guest speaker on LGBTQIA rights. —2855065
