Moin – w/ Pete Swanson (DJ Set) – 21+
Moin are a three piece based in London that comprises of Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews of the band Raime (Blackest Ever Black, RR) and percussionist Valentina Magaletti who operates over a great range of projects such as Vanishing Twin, Tomaga and Lafawandah. The band navigate a revolving set of influences from obvious touch points such as alt rock, post-punk, art-rock and doom metal to more abstract ideas found in improv and found sound recording. In addition to these more closely related areas, shades of electronic music are still present providing a constant dialogue between the two practices. The sound is direct but subtly re-assembled.

Sister Wife Sex Strike, Doom Scroll, The Last Arizona, Orange Vanilla – All Ages
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. — Doom Scroll is a Colorado-based folk-punk band formed in 2020 composed of veteran musicians in the DIY scene. The group’s sound is an aggressive, melodic punk/crust wave with complex acoustic instrumentation and harmonies. Members include Elliot Lozier, Taylor Dittman, Micah Butler, Jon Pizarro, and Marissa Sendejas, with each member having over a decade of experience in other bands. They are signed to Fat Mike’s Bottles to the Ground label, imprint of Fat Wreck Chords. — 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.
