About 9 to 5:

9 to 5 is a 1980 American comedy film. It stars Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton as three working women who live out their fantasies of getting even with, and their overthrow of, the company’s autocratic, “sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot” boss, played by Dabney Coleman. The film grossed over $103.9 million and is the 20th highest-grossing comedy. As a star vehicle for Parton—already established as a successful singer and songwriter—it launched her permanently into mainstream popular culture. 9 to 5 is number 74 on the American Film Institute’s “100 Funniest Movies”
Dir: Colin Higgins / 1980 / US / 109 min

About PINKSQUEEZE:
PINKSQUEEZE is a queer power pop four piece from Chicago that brings community care and bubbly fun to stages. PINKSQUEEZE shows have been described as “like being at a sleepover with friends you just haven’t met yet” and “like a band from Scott Pilgrim come to life.”

PINKSQUEEZE’s debut album was released in May 2023. The album titled “Be Gay Have Fun” is centered around celebrating queer joy while healing the inner child. “Be Gay Have Fun” was awarded Best Chicago Album of 2023 by The Chicago Reader.

About The Dreaded Laramie:

The Dreaded Laramie have been melting faces while making people think since 2019, with their own brand of cock-rock-coded femmecore. This Nashville quartet delivers high-energy hooks and first-rate musicality, with trademark guitarmonies that scratch that very specific itch in your brain. Their intersection of glam-rock and power-pop kind of feels like lighting a ‘90s coming-of-age official motion picture soundtrack on fire. Or like, if Randy Rhoads went through a really big Weezer phase.

Their new album Princess Feedback is an album filled with riffs made of liquid magma, and heavy-hitting rhythm section ferocity. But it’s also a breakup record. It’s a controlled blast—a sonic explosion performed with deliberate precision, clearing the way for what lies beneath. Songs that might sound joyful on first listen are, in time, revealed to be introspective meditations on self-doubt and healing. The Dreaded Laramie subvert expectations without being in your face about it, and Princess Feedback is an album crafted firmly in that spirit. The album was produced, mixed, and engineered by Grammy winner Dave Schiffman (PUP, The Bronx, Thrice, Bayside), who managed to capture the band at its very best, maintaining the live energy that makes them an instant hit with crowds of all sizes.
