SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: Backxwash + guests
DESCRIPTION:Backxwash\, influenced by traditional Zambian music\, industrial metal and experimental hip-hop\, Ashanti Mutinta has carved out a noisy place in Canada’s rising rap scene. After a prior win in 2020\, her most recent album\, Only Dust Remains\, was also considered for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize. Uncompromising\, unpredictable\, and deeply political\, Backxwash is all this\, and so much more

SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: Granpa (Lucas Abela) + guests
DESCRIPTION:Granpa (Lucas Abela)\nHarsh noise meets bloodcraft when Granpa (Lucas Abela) hits the stage. His free jazz-inspired sounds — achieved by blowing on amplified shards of glass with his mouth (and sometimes bloodying himself in the process) — have toured the world since the ‘90s and were featured on Death Grips’ 2018 album ​​Year of the Snitch. This one-of-a-kind show will be an out-of-body audio experience for the ages.
