All The Pretty Horses

Minnesota Led by transgender, performance artist S. Grandell, using the moniker Venus DeMars, All The Pretty Horses is a quartet, blending the influences of artists such as David Bowie and Sex Pistols with a dose of heavy, guitar rock and outrageous costumes, into a self-described style called "dark-glam." Based in Minneapolis, DeMars formed All The Pretty Horses in 1995 with drummer Bill Bailey and bassist Ed Ford. Their self-title debut was issued later that same year, after which Bailey left to be replaced by Matt Bachelor for their second album, Queens And Angels, which also saw the addition of backup singer Jonnycakes.
