Sister Wife Sex Strike is a Seattle-based anarchist folk band composed of Sister Pigeon and Sister Moth. The band’s name is inspired by real life events: in 2021, Pigeon & Moth were sharing a lover and found themselves mutually dissatisfied by his efforts so they went on a sex strike to have their demands met. The band name was derived from this event and an ensuing psilocybin-guided camping trip between the two friends produced their eponymous title track. The two have been playing music and writing songs together ever since.

The Last Arizona is melodic and lyrical emo-inflected folk punk from central PA, a hotbed of folk punk that also gave the emergence of Apes of the State and Local News Legend. The project of Emma Blair Lauzon, she has toured extensively over the last decade, tallying 85 shows in 2025 alone across the US and UK in stranger’s homes, on beaches, in the woods, or anywhere folks can gather. Now based in northern Virginia, The Last Arizona is writing songs for t4t dogs, punks with a soft spot, and cis men with something to learn about themselves. She’s also a massive fan of Tottenham Hotspur, but hopefully you won’t hold that against her.

Have you ever seen that video of Bob Dylan asking a bunch of kids on the street if they listen to Ratt? This is kind of like that, except Orange Vanilla (members of Cheap City, Bochek, Call Security, Mutter, and Champagne Pool) are mostly trans and don’t look or sound like Bob Dylan OR Ratt. Cute music for ugly times and vice versa. Piano led kinda cabaret punk stuff for people whose gender expression is at least a little wrapped up in their feelings about the teacher from Matilda. This is their first performance. They currently have no recordings.
