Safe Mind – 21+
Safe Mind is the collaborative project of Augustus Muller and Cooper B. Handy. Muller is one half of the beloved electronic duo Boy Harsher, a cornerstone in the contemporary goth and darkwave scene. Handy is an underground sensation, making a name for himself with his left field approach to beatmaking through his solo persona LUCY and various recording projects (The Taxidermist, Club Casualties). Featuring club-ready bass, punchy drum beats, and post-punk guitar lines alongside Handy’s singular voice, the band’s first single “6’ Pole” introduces listeners us to the duo’s playful pop sound. In 2020, Muller approached Handy to collaborate on a track for Boy Harsher’s album, The Runner (Original Soundtrack), and the result was the anthemic album standout “Autonomy.” Handy’s loose take on songwriting proved an unlikely match with Muller’s neurotic attention to detail and production experience. Handy and Muller took note of their chemistry and continued to casually work on music over the next few years. As the tracks started to accumulate, they acknowledged a shared emphasis on honesty and innocence in the songs they were making and Safe Mind was born.
Daisy the Great – The Rubber Teeth Talk Tour w/ The Ophelias – All Ages
Emerging from the depths of Brooklyn’s indie music scene, Daisy the Great is the utterly infectious project of Kelley Dugan and Mina Walker. The duo first met as acting majors at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where they began co-writing a musical about a fictional band before realizing they could make it happen in real life and set out as Daisy the Great. Inspired by artists like Fiona Apple and Bowie, Daisy the Great’s imaginative and clever songwriting meets whimsy and an unmistakable rawness to bring their music to life. Following the immediate success of “The Record Player Song,” the band released their debut full-length I’m Not Getting Any Taller in 2019, followed by 2020’s quarantine-born Soft Songs EP , and their 2022 masterful sophomore album, All You Need Is Time, which has garnered 500M streams to date. The last couple of years have seen Daisy the Great rise to new heights – collaborating with artists like illuminati hotties and Claud, playing major festivals like Lollapalooza and Firefly, and joining The Kooks and The Vaccines on their 2024 North American headline tour. Last October, the band released the kaleidoscopic EP Spectacle: Daisy the Great vs. Tony Visconti, which saw notable praise from Atwood Magazine, Northern Transmissions, Spinning Platters, LaunchLeft, and tons more. With sonic experimentation and stellar songwriting on full display, Daisy the Great showcased a new side of their indie prowess, marking them artists to watch in the space. 2025 is expected to be even more exciting as the band has been in the studio for the last couple of months with GRAMMY® award-winning producer Catherine Marks (boygenius, St. Vincent, Wolf Alice) working on new material.

Patricia Wolf – Hrafnamynd Soundtrack Album Release Party – 21+
A screening of the film Hrafnamynd with live Q&A, followed by a performance by Patricia Wolf, in celebration of the soundtrack album (out on July 11th) on Balmat records. + DJing by Cold Sasuke all night. Copies of the album will be available for sale at this event. HRAFNAMYND is a poetic, raven guided tour of memory and location. Upon returning to Iceland as an adult, filmmaker Edward Pack Davee documents Icelandic ravens while along the way feeling an overwhelming sense of familiarity through the hundreds of beautiful Ektachrome slides from the early 70’s that his father took. As he continues documenting ravens, poring through family slides, and interviewing family about their time there, the filmmaker finds himself on a journey of self discovery and ponders the nature of memories and myth. Hrafnamynd is an unconventional, dream-like feature documentary taking us through the psychology of memory, myth, family bonds, and symbology. Featuring an original soundtrack and sound design by Patricia Wolf. Director Edward Pack Davee and composer Patricia Wolf will conduct a Q&A after the screening with a live performance by Wolf later in the evening.
