Apollo Vermouth
Apollo Vermouth is a moniker for the sprawling, shimmering, and calamitous soundscapes of Alisa Rodriguez. A project that has yielded at least ten albums, EPs, and splits for over a decade; included here are the releases "Florida" (2010, EP), "Psychic Youth Rally" (2011, LP), and "Third Summer of Love" (2011, EP). Part ethereal soundtrack, part dream-pop deconstruction; Apollo Vermouth's hypnotic washes of sparkling atmospherics and bursts of dissonant catharsis remain a central vehicle for Rodriguez's large and continued output, as her work continues to be a crucial staple in Milwaukee's more unclassifiable sound artist/ experimental pop scenes.

In addition, she has collaborated and performed in projects with various artists who's work challenges expectations of genre and sound/song including Julian Lynch, Operations, and Sundial Mottos.
Rodriguez has also released work under the name "A Crushed Rose" w/ a cassette ("Someone is Looking Out for Us")
