Bio: PDF Version Here
Twin Cities’ indie glam pop band, d'Lakes (also a secret acronym), amplifies
universally shared emotions through hummable melodies, unpredictable
genre twists, and unconfined lyrics. Most performances are enhanced
with an array of visual projections and odd stage antics from the two
performance artists who join the band for live shows. This is all on top of
their already stunning and highly technical pop tunes that have been melting
hearts around the globe since the band's start in 2020. Their debut album
"Unforgettable Cheer" was released June 2021 and their well received
sophomore album, Heaven Is A Silent Disco, was released November 2023.
Currently several songs deep into LP3!
