Their upcoming album, Cashville, is their first full-length release and the first to capture the full range of their cinematic style. Together they kick out the jams with a high-octane show combining politics, poetry, and pageantry. Small in size yet big in sound, VOLK is Chris Lowe (electric guitar, vocals) and Eleot Reich (drums, lead vocals). Thrash-and-twang duo VOLK set expectations on fire with their explosive brand of cowpunk and glam rock. Live drummer Hyperkube Bonanza has filled in for Glass on most tours since 2016. The current lineup of the band consists of vocalist Dick Valentine, lead guitarist Johnny Na$hinal, keyboardist Tait Nucleus?, rhythm guitarist Da Vé, bassist Rob Lower and drummer Todd Glass. A live DVD, Absolute Treasure, was released in 2014. The band achieved recognition in 2003 with the singles "Danger! High Voltage" and "Gay Bar", and have since released 14 studio albums, two rarities albums, and one live album. Their music was described by AllMusic as a combination of garage, disco, punk rock, new wave, and metal. It's still South Dakota.Advertisement Electric Six w/ VOLK Pale Norse | The ShapeShifterz Electric Six - Mixing garage rock, disco, punk, new wave, and metal into cleverly dumb, in-your-face songs Electric Six is a six-piece American rock band formed in 1996 in Detroit, Michigan. Even with the school presence I don't buy places like Vermillion or Brookings as being all that progressive outside of the schools themselves. Mostly by older people who will be aging out of the workforce in the next decade. There are a couple of LGBT people in my workplace in Sioux Falls and though no one is openly hostile or insulting, there are still looks and comments behind their backs. It has the worst weather in the state on top of everything else. House prices are high and pay at a lot of the jobs there is laughable.

That is probably one of the most unwelcoming and provincial places in the state and I would advise just about anybody looking to relocate to look elsewhere. I'm not too surprised to hear Watertown hasn't been the best for you. Since most potential jobs are remote for the moment, we could potentially live anywhere and see where things go, but eventually we will have to commute.ĭo we have to leave South Dakota to find an accepting LGBT-friendly community? Or can it be found close to home? I have an offer in Sioux Falls, my bf has one in Brookings, and we're on the search for more. Our budget is around ~$1,600 for an apartment, though it depends on exactly what the pay is like where we get jobs. Do you know of a place that fits this description? Perhaps a neighborhood in Sioux Falls or Rapid City, or a progressive town like Brookings or Vermillion? I'm all ears. We are trying to determine whether there is anywhere in South Dakota where LGBT people are integrated into the community, where we might find solace and live a peaceful existence without hatred directed at us. Maybe it doesn't affect you personally, but I assure you it exists.

If you are not LGBT you may not even notice homophobia in your town, and I don't fault you for that. My bf was kicked out of his home for being gay at 12, and I was beaten up at a bar in Pierre last year, so I do not want to hear anything about how LGBT people are always accepted now, that it's not a problem in 2021, etc. However Watertown seems to be equally hateful to LGBT people, even if there is a larger number of us around.

I spent most of my childhood west of the river so I don't know much about how things are further east. My bf and I recently moved out of our tiny West River homophobic town along I-90, and into the great regional center of Watertown.
