Xina Xurner​ is an experimental music/performance collaboration between Marvin Astorga And Young Joon Kwak, whose cathartic performances combine DIY and power electronics, mutated vocals, and bad drag to expand ideas about queer and trans bodies. Their music combines a variety of genres (including happy hardcore, industrial, drone metal, and techno), in order to create sadical and sexperimental noise-diva-dance anthems that evoke a sense of transformation, rebirth, and renewal. Xina Xurner released their debut album “DIE” in 2012 and their follow-up, “Queens of the Night,” was released in April 2018. Xina Xurner will make you sweat.

Gabie Strong is interdisciplinary, conceptual artist exploring sonic constructions of drone and decay as a means to improvise new arrangements of feminist meaning. She uses the guitar in acoustically violent ways to create noise as both an exploration of bodily listening and as a critique of femininity.
