The Centaurettes is the passion project of Bia Maldonado and Derek Hibbard. Both are vocalists for the band and represent a diversity seldom seen in rock music today. With all queer and two POC (persons of color) members, that helps to create something that is truly original. While the songs ooze sass and irreverence, the artists also find time for soft moments, causing them to rebrand themselves as “pastel punk.” Modern in every sense of the word, while simultaneously paying homage to Punk and Rock & Roll from the past. Yet there’s a lightness to it – a joy that shines through from these friends who truly love the art of creation.
