Dust Cwaine: The Band is a 5 piece queer indie pop rock band based in Vancouver BC. Their music mixes the 80's pop rock heyday with late 90's bombastic alt rock. Fronted by iconic drag queen Dust, Dust Cwaine: The Band blends the worlds of Drag and Music for an undeniably original and electrifying fresh take on live music. Their music is like if a 90’s alt rock band was gay(er)

Quick with a hook and roaring with energy, their sets will have you singing along to songs you don’t even know!
