About the Band

Princess, Alexis Gideon and Michael O’Neill, is an art pop psychedelic duo that uses music as the backbone of a multi-disciplinary practice that often explores issues of queerness and the concept of masculinity. Simultaneously gay, straight, queer, masculine and feminine, Princess embodies the fluidity and coherence between the seemingly contradictory.

Princess was formed in 2004 in the Chicago DIY Performance space, Texas Ballroom. The duo released a self-titled LP and performed until 2006 when they went on to pursue other paths.

Gideon’s fine art career includes exhibitions at Moderna Museet (Stockholm) and a joint program with William Kentridge at New Museum. He has performed at museums such as Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Málaga. He has toured internationally and opened for Dan Deacon and tUnE-yArDs.

O’Neill has collaborated with JD Samson of Le Tigre and, with her, formed the acclaimed art/performance band MEN. MEN toured extensively around the world including festival appearances at Coachella (USA) and Sidney Mardi Gras (AUS), at museums such as SF MoMA (USA) and Museo Rufino Tamayo (MX), and support tours with the Gossip and Peaches.
