Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Kerry Alexander and Chris Hoge met in college and formed the band in 2012. In the 10 years of BBH, they have toured the country many times in their trusty minivan, sampling the best local cuisine along the way. BBH has toured with The Beths, Margaret Glaspy, The Front Bottoms, Hippo Campus, and Michelle Branch, among many others. Their fourth album Bad Bad Hats is out now on Don Giovanni Records.Tom and The Broken Hearts is a high-energy tribute band dedicated to honoring the music and legacy of the late rock icon Tom Petty. With a dynamic stage presence and spot-on renditions of Petty's greatest hits, this talented group of musicians brings the heartland rock sound of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers to life for audiences of all ages. From "Free Fallin'" to "American Girl," Tom and The Broken Hearts deliver a nostalgic and electrifying performance that pays homage to one of the greatest rock artists of all time.

Before she was Party Nails, Elana Carroll was the tween-dream-open-mic-queen of Chatham, NY. Garageband, meanwhile, sparked a passion for technology, revealing an artist equal parts frontman and engineer, ham and bone. Elana’s love of the studio has only grown, while a growing audience continues to adore her onstage.

Pillow Talk, Party Nails long-awaited third album (out January 2025 on Eye Knee Records), finds songwriter-producer-artist Elana Carroll in a honey colored party mood. Opening with “Same Old Song”, an indie rock ode sung into the rear view mirror, our hero seems to have chucked her bluer feelings into the backseat (with snacks) and let “fun” sit shotgun all the way to the slumber party. Carroll and her unhinged musical prowess deftly drive her gang of emotions through her particular brand of brash synth pop (“First Responder”, “Movie Scene”), as well as the grunge and punk-infused second half (“Someway Somehow”, “Do U Know How”). Detours abound as she careens through genre twists and turns, before pulling up to the blanket-fort for a heart to heart with your head on the pillow next to her (“Trigger Warning”, Dirty Water”).
