ARTIST PROFILE | Public Universal Friend / i.V KiNG
Public Universal Friend - Public Universal Friend (PUF) is an Indianapolis-based rock band led by trans frontman Jody Galadriel Friend, combining the sounds of Appalachian folk and post-punk, with threads of 90’s indie rock and stoner doom, and have become a central fixture in the Indianapolis queer music scene.
i.V KiNG - I.V KING IS A PERFECT BLEND OF A-LIST POP AND MODERN STORYTELLING. SHE WAS CERTAINLY NOT CROWNED WITHOUT STRUGGLE, HER LYRICS PAINT VIVID PICTURES OF BOTH THE BEAUTY AND PAIN OF GROWING UP WITH ONE FOOT IN THE CHURCH AND THE OTHER IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. KING’S SOUND BLENDS OLIVIA RODRIGO POP ACCESSIBILITY WITH VISCERAL LYRICISM AND STORYTELLING YOU MIGHT EXPECT ON A BRANDI CARLILE ALBUM. AS A QUEER ARTIST, INSPIRATION FOR MANY OF KING’S SONGS IS TO INCREASE LGBTQ+ VISIBILITY AND STORYTELLING IN THE POP CULTURE AND MUSIC SPACE.
