Masculinity, but make it soft. Power, but make it pretty. Sauvage has performed pole, drag, and boylesque across the US and Europe, and he is now making his home in the Midwest. He is an award winning aerialist and Delaware’s one and only Mx. Ratchet titleholder. Sauvage is here to show you just how good it can feel to blur the lines of gender, sexuality, and self-expression.

Freddi Cougar
Crawling from the depths of your darkest dreams is Freddi Cougar, Queen of Camp and Carnage and an absolute killer on stage. Freddi provokes the audience by blending sharp wit with soft curves; drawing inspiration from powerful figures like Jennifer Check and Catherine Trammel, she’s the hottest nightmare you’ll ever see. Give her one shot and you’ll be quivering on the floor (while she’s taking your boyfriend out of the picture).

Mistress Mary
Mistress Mary is a seductive sadist, psychological sculptor, and deviant delight for those daring enough to stand with her, or better yet, kneel before her. She has worked as a professional Dominatrix for nearly five years, with roots in the BDSM lifestyle running far deeper. You may have heard her commanding attention on podcasts like Authentically Kinky and Good Sex, witnessed her reign as a featured Domme for Kinky Friday at The Gay 90s, or seen her presiding in the Chapel at Ground Zero. In 2025, Mistress Mary created Velvet Vice, an intimate and immersive public BDSM & kink experience built for transformation, release, and the kind of connection you can’t fake. Her specialties include high-intensity impact, emotional edgeplay, and the exquisite alchemy of turning suffering and surrender into pleasure and empowerment. Come experience Her for yourself.
dj noise
noise has been a fixture of the Minneapolis music scene since the 1990’s, when he was a founder of the darkwave and industrial production companies Nachtmusik, Inc. and Silent Productions while simultaneously playing in the goth punk and post-gothic bands Glass and Silent Tristero. Since those days, he has shared the bill with such acts as Skinny Puppy, VNV Nation, Aesthetic Perfection, Front Line Assembly, and countless others. Bringing layered, pulsing, and hypnotic beats, noise finds a cross between the familiar and the sublime. Having played venues from mere tens to several thousands in size, noise is currently resident at Ground Zero in Minneapolis, as well as dj for Minnesota Roller Derby, but also likes to travel to play outside of his home town whenever possible. One can usually find noise floating around the club on his bottom-lit roller skates.
dj Lorth
Lorth is one of the resident DJs at Ground Zero and frequents the dance floor when he is not DJing. Lorth also manages the Ground Zero discord to the best of his abilities as life does get in the way of things. You can find him frequently helping during Raptures and spinning slightly different than normal tunes during Forbidden Bazaars. Lorth started helping at CONvergence many moons ago and the rest is history. Since then Lorth has broadened his horizons and even helps out at local shows, most recently being Combichrist’s Old School show. Musically Lorth is very eclectic but some of his favorites include; EBM, Industrial, Darkwave, many kinds of Synth, and Metal. Pronouns are He/They.
dj Fenris
Fenris has been lurking around the Twin Cities darkside scene for many years both on the dance floor and behind the decks for several events and nights. In addition to Ground Zero, Fenris is a resident at Hard Mondays and has DJed at events such as Goth Prom, Rubber Ball USA, and CONvergence. Fenris has also provided support for many live shows from Absynthetic Productions and Kilted Farmer, sharing the bill with bands such as Hocico, Aesthetic Perfection, Empathy Test and Unwoman. Having previously explored other genres such as hardstyle, and hard trance, DJ Fenris favors EBM, industrial, goth, post-punk, and synthpop as well as shoegaze and moody, downtempo electronica. Fenris uses the pronouns he/him.

Fandom Void
I am a nurse and have been for over a decade. I am also a huge nerd. I love sci-fi and horror and I want to combine those loves together. I am currently doing that in the form of press-on nails (I have severe skin allergies and can't wear gel polish or nails directly, but love designing nail art), as well as, polymer clay jewelry and small sculptures, and prints. I enjoy mixed media, crochet, ceramics, acrylic painting, resin crafting, clay, and linocut printing. Why minatures? No real reason besides that I enjoy the challenge, and I started painting as a kid on Christmas villages and warhammer figures.
