Description

5-piece rough and tumble rock band from Cedar Falls, Iowa. ADVANCE: $10 // DOS: $13 DOORS: 7:30PM // SHOW: 8PM Hex Girls are a 5-piece rough and tumble rock band from Cedar Falls, Iowa. The band was conceived by brothers John and Nick Fisher along with Charlie “Chuck” Patterson, as a rock-roll antidote to the monotonous hum of their humble hometown, Mechanicsville, Iowa [population 900]. After moving to Cedar Falls, they met producer and keyboardist Ross Klemz, who joined Hex Girls in 2017. Christian Ebetino joined the lineup on drums in 2020. Their debut album, More of That, was released in 2018. Critics have said the album is a “rock menu pulling from influences as far-flung as protopunk, psychobilly and glam, to no-wave and Motown." A follow-up EP, Pop Fluff, was released in 2021. It's been described as "all of the nervous paranoia of Fear of Music bolted to Iggy/Lou/Bowie. Menace with melodies, big guitars and driving backbeat.” Hex Girls have built a reputation as one of Iowa’s best live bands after playing some of the Midwest's most notable music festivals, including 80/35 Music Festival in 2018 and 2019 Maximum Ames Music Festival in 2020. The band will appear live in 2021 at Hinterland Music Festival. www.hexgirls.com Penny Peach: Penny Peach is a pipes-wieldin’, guitar-squealin’, soul-stealin’, mistress of the indie/garage rock genre.
