Yellow Ostrich Yellow Ostrich is an experimental indie rock project centered around singer/songwriter Alex Schaaf. Emerging in 2009, Schaaf’s lo-fi/bedroom pop emissions were eventually fleshed out by a handful of co-conspirators, and the band issued five more and a handful of EPs before going on hiatus after the release of 2014’s Cosmos. Yellow Ostrich reformed as a five-piece in 2021 and released the lush and inward-looking Soft. Ghosting Merit Ghosting Merit is an indie pop project based in Minneapolis, fronted by songwriter Syd Casey. Their dreamy, melodic sound has evolved into a high energy live performance with the help of band members Bailey Cogan, Emma Garau, and Nathan Johnston.   Tea Doggy Tea Doggy is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Tristan Smith. Originally from Asheville, NC, and now based out of Minneapolis, Tea Doggy creates beautifully compelling songs that oscillate between dry wit, sarcasm, humility, and genuine emotional depth.
