Rasta Zebra
Reggae DubBorn dread — the stripes are natural locks. Never dyed, never will.
NorthStar Prime · Artist Roster
THE MENAGERIE
Twenty animals, twenty genres — every pairing chosen because something about the animal is the music. Character portraits arrive as they're painted.
Emo Giraffe
Emo / Pop-PunkIts head lives in a different weather system than its heart. The fringe took eleven years.
The Rocker Penguins
RockHas literally never not worn a tuxedo. The encore is always the same because they all look identical.
Anglerfish, the Reef Selector
Glub DubComes with its own stage light. Plays the deepest sets on the roster, both meanings.
Jackalope
Cosmic-CountryThe only mythical animal country music already believed in. Seen by everyone's uncle.
Praying Mantis
Ritual-TechnoAlready praying, already metronomic. Holds one pose for six hours — that's a residency.
Brass-Mane Lion
Orchestral-TrapThe mane is a fanned circle of trumpets. 808s are just what its footsteps were always doing.
Deep-Sea Octopus
Doom-JazzEight arms, eight instruments, zero light. Never seen the chart, never missed. Ink is for the pressing.
Bloodhound
CountryEvery song is about someone who left, and it can still smell them. Porch-certified.
Trash Panda
Hip-Hop / TrapGot its name from the streets and its rings from nobody — born with them on. Washes its samples.
Peacock DJ
EDMThe drop and the light show are the same organ. Doesn't need LED walls; IS the LED wall.
Sloth
AmbientThree chord changes per hour. An album every seven years, and it's perfect. Moves so slow the reverb catches up.
Manatee
R&B / SoulThe slowest jams in the water. Every note held like it's carrying something precious, because it is.
Coquí Frog
LatinA one-inch frog that already out-sings the island every night by name. The hook never changes and never has to.
Banjo Beaver
FolkBuilds every instrument itself out of the venue. The dam IS the amphitheater.
Flamingo
Funk / DiscoOne-leg groove is a permanent pose-down. The drip is metabolic. Sleeps standing on the one.
Owl Maestro
OrchestralConducts the night shift. Rotates to cue the second violins without moving its feet.
Honey Badger
PunkFamously does not care. Ignores the setlist, the venue rules, and snake venom — naps mid-set, finishes the song.
Mountain Goat
Post-MetalLives on a cliff face at a 90-degree angle, screaming, which is the genre.
Pomeranian
PopGroomed four hours for a three-minute single. The choreography is genetic. Zero self-doubt.
