Bio:

Patriarchy is an industrial electronic band based in Los Angeles, led by multidisciplinary artist Actually Huizenga. Known for their provocative fusion of music, performance art, and striking visuals, the project explores themes of power, identity, and desire. Huizenga serves as the band’s vocalist, primary songwriter, guitarist, video director, and illustrator, shaping its distinct vision.

Since the band's debut with the album Asking For It (2019), produced by Andrew Means (3Teeth), Patriarchy has continued to collaborate with notable artists,producers, and remixers. Their follow-up album, The Unself (2022), was created in collaboration with Matia Simovich (Inhalt) and mixed by John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, This Mortal Coil). The album also featured co-writing by new permanent band member AJ English, who uses the moniker The Drummer. 

Patriarchy has toured extensively across North America and Europe, most recently supporting The Cult in the U.S. and Canada in 2024. Their intense, high-energy performances—combining live guitars and drums with electronic elements—have earned them comparisons to Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, The Prodigy, and Skinny Puppy, solidifying their reputation as a band meant to be seen as much as heard. They are set to embark on a full European tour in spring 2025.
