SUMMARY:Sled Island presents: Suffering Hour + guests

With thunderous riffs born in the pits of hell\, Suffering Hour is one of the heaviest shows at Sled Island this year.

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.

SUMMARY:Sled Island Presents: Salami Rose Joe Louis
DESCRIPTION:Described by Pitchfork as “Captain Beefheart for synth heads who grew up watching Adult Swim\,” Salami Rose Joe Louis (AKA Lindsay Olsen) harnesses electronic tinkerings and glitch-y hooks to explore cosmic tinged storytelling in her lyricism. 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.
