Palmers is happy to welcome back All The Pretty Horses!

All The Pretty Horses~"Led by transgender, performance artist Venus de Mars, Venus de Mars & All The Pretty Horses is a quartet. Influences: David Bowie & Sex Pistols, add heavy guitar & outrageous costumes. Self-described "glam-punk."

Venus de Mars is a multidisciplinary artist and musician, best known as a singer-songwriting transgender rock star and leader of the band Venus de Mars & All the Pretty Horses (Influences: David Bowie & Sex Pistols, add heavy guitar & outrageous costumes. Self-described "glam-punk.")

Venus is also one of the foundational artists for Rifle Sport Alternative Art Gallery, creating its iconic big blue doors which fronted Hennepin Avenue and installations that included a Honda Civic art car parked halfway up the main staircase. A chance tax audit transformed her into a champion of artists’ tax rights, after which the Venus de Mars Fund with Springboard for the Arts was established. Venus along with her wife Lynette Reini-Grandell, are the subject of rock-doc Venus of Mars [2004] by filmmaker Emily Goldberg.

Venus came out as transgender at a time when identifying as trans meant being classified as having a mental perversion and living as an outcast. Her refusal to live a shadow existence, instead embracing her uniqueness, complicated her musical and artistic career paths. She is now mid-process in writing a memoir reflecting her thirty-year trans journey and place in this fast-changing, trans-embracing-backlashing world where we now find ourselves.

Venus is the recipient of multiple grants and awards, among them a Minnesota State Arts Board grant, a Bush Fellowship, a Minnesota Music Award, and is the subject of the award-winning rock-documentary Venus of Mars. She toured with Laura Jane Grace and Against Me in 2014. She has released multiple albums over her career. Her last release, an acoustic album produced by longtime collaborator Barb Morrison (Debbie Harry, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, etc.), is titled Flesh and Wire. She is currently writing a memoir and her band and she are currently working on a new LP.

Emotions erupt in ELOUR's punk-edged Femme Rock, resulting in catharsis and empowerment. ELOUR features the alluring songs, vocals, and stage presence of classically trained Elizabeth Ghandour.

Elour (pronounced "allure") is what Elizabeth Ghandour categorizes as Femme Rock. Elizabeth’s direct lyrics, diverse background and classically trained voice, combined with Ned Barclay's soaring guitar, Joe Scarpellino's tasty bass and Ryan Vee's creative drumming, yields a sound that's raucous and rebellious, and yet very stylish.

noise has been a fixture of the Minneapolis music scene since the 1990’s, when he was a founder of the darkwave and industrial production companies Nachtmusik, Inc. and Silent Productions while simultaneously playing in the goth punk and post-gothic bands Glass and Silent Tristero.

Having played venues from mere tens to several thousands in size, noise has shared the bill with such acts as Skinny Puppy, VNV Nation, Aesthetic Perfection, Front Line Assembly, and countless others.
