Blending the melodic sounds of American Football with the energy of Blink-182\, the trio is here to top you off with a stimulating cocktail of indie punk.

SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: mineo kawasaki\, mon cher\, Niloo and Laura Hickli
DESCRIPTION:mineo kawasakiLast seen at Sled Island in 2025\, Mineo Kawasaki continues to create rhythm‑driven electronic worlds born from live drums and a MIDI controller. He has toured the world with immersive sets that blur percussion and electronics\, and bend post‑rock minimalism to his will. Equal parts precision\, texture and motion\, this gig is not to be missed.  \nmon cherThe indie electronic project of Denver-based artist Meghan Holton\, mon cher sculpts hypnotic indie electronic soundscapes with textured synths\, punchy beats and airy vocals. Her 2025 EP you don’t feel it when you fall slow maps longing and escape\, while the live femme duo (with drummer/partner Caitlyn Sullivan) transforms intimate studio tracks into high-vibe stage moments.\n\nNilooA sonic whirlpool of dream pop\, folk and psychedelia\, Niloo filters through memories and melodies of 1970s Iran: the “Golden Age” of Iranian pop. Described as a fuzzy\, nostalgic fabric of sound\, her music is heavy yet playful and deeply rooted in lineage and rebellion.\nLaura HickliClassically trained pianist Laura Hickli is an internationally touring dark art pop songstress known for tightly arranged dreamy soundscapes\, exquisite vocals\, evocative lyrics\, and emotionally powerful performances. Hickli delivers cathartic\, unforgettable live shows that blend timeless\, textured\, and technical music with gripping\, visceral performance art.\n\nImportant info:\nStart and running times are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Sled Island Presents: Salami Rose Joe Louis

A signee to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label\, she recently dropped a recording of a rehearsal entitled Inside\, with trio\, at pattys\, which should prepare you nicely for her mind-bendingly catchy live show.

SUMMARY:Sled Island Wrap-Up BBQ with TEAR DUNGEON\, Wheelchair Sports Camp\, afk and more
DESCRIPTION:TEAR DUNGEONThis wild\, gimp-mask clad noise‑punk outfit specializes in blown‑out riffs\, doomy distortion\, and sonic chaos that rattles your fillings. Their sound lands somewhere between Rollins-era Black Flag and a power tool having an existential crisis\, and their show feels like a basement exorcism with better lighting. Get ready for some true Texan hospitality.  \n\nWheelchair Sports CampCombining humorous hip-hop\, playful electronic experimentation\, and middle fingers all around\, Wheelchair Sports Camp is “Denver’s biggest smallest band.” Fronted by Kalyn Rose Heffernan\, a tiny rapper who delivers high-pitched bars from a wheelchair\, this group lies at the intersection of all the genre-bending weirdness\, inclusive fun\, and playful experimentation that make Sled Island so special. \n\nafkMeet NYC’s best-kept secret. afk fuses hip-hop with electronic\, punk and dance to bring a bombastic yet calculated sound to the masses. With its urgent electronic production and moody lyrics\, the 2024 single “ricochet” is an excellent introduction to the industrial glitch-hop trio. Experience catharsis and connection. Witness a new frontier for hip-hop.\n\nSheenah Ko\nOn top of her successful career touring international stages with The Besnard Lakes and Bedouin Soundclash\, electronic pop artist Sheenah Ko thrives as a solo performer\, channeling her talents into producing sonically rich and harmonious music\, and fusing her skills in analog synthesizers\, vocals and beat production. Prepare to traverse atmospheric dreamscapes before bursting into moments of high-energy fun.\n\nRroachHFeaturing calculated tones\, catchy riffs\, and lyrics inspired by mental health struggles\, queer relationships\, and… being a bit of a dirtbag\, RroachH is a queer- and femme-fronted\, alternative rock group who describe their sound as “multifarious.” The four-piece draws influences from power-pop\, emo\, and psych\, and have shared the stage with PUP\, Speedy Ortiz and Bif Naked.\n\nShy FRiENDBrutally honest\, tragically dramatic\, and full of feminine rage\, alt rock six-piece SHY FRiEND has been turning the Alberta music scene into a church for all the queer\, pop and punk misfits. They create over-the-top experiences with bombastic visuals\, absurd bits\, and raucous energy that makes every venue a party\, and every oddball in the room a valued guest.\n\nOranjeA dynamic math-rock five-piece known for their tight\, start-stop arrangements rooted in jazz and articulated through a raw punk-tinged energy\, Oranje began when three University of Calgary alumni crossed paths in the jazz orchestra and discovered their shared love for emo and experimental instrumental music. \n\nHis HisThe recording project of Halifax-based artist Aidan Belo\, His His combines contemporary slacker rock and alt-folk\, coupled with low fidelity analog production to create something that sounds honest and melancholic. Since their first release in 2020\, they’ve exclusively recorded via cassette in an old wooden barn. We can’t wait to hear how it sounds live. \n\nCHLORINETIMEMACHINEWith songs that are equal parts danceable and discomforting\, Vancouver noise punk trio CHLORINETIMEMACHINE deliver blown out feedback\, heavy-hitting grooves and textural noise\, creating a high-energy frenetic atmosphere that is best appreciated live\, loud\, and sweaty. Check out their latest single “LIFE OF PARTY DROWNS” for a taste of the chaos.\n\nsadbirthdaysLed by Tsuut’ina/Amskapi Piikani/Cree multidisciplinary artist Seth Cardinal Dodginghorse\, sadbirthdays (formerly known as soft cure) is an experimental project that blends alternative/indie rock\, slowcore\, grunge and shoegaze into a genre self-described as “pastel wave.” 2026 will see the release of their new album\, catholic ladders\, which was recorded in the residential schools that Seth’s grandfather attended.\n\nHailstones\nBlending lush guitars\, hypnotic bass\, and expressive vocals with hybrid electronic-acoustic rhythms\, Hailstones is a Calgary-based dream pop/shoegaze project with industrial undertones. 2025 saw the release of their debut LP The Weariness of Hope\, showcasing the group’s exploratory approach to both sound and lyricism.\n\nChic Chameleon\nBlurring the tenuous lines between shoegaze and dream pop\, Chic Chameleon crafts an indie rock sound that’s both cinematic and deeply introspective. Drawing inspiration from artists like The War on Drugs and Porches\, the band weaves sleek synths\, luscious guitar tones\, and soulful vocals into a soundscape that shimmers with nostalgia and intensity.\nImportant info:Start and running times are subject to change.
