Friday, Dec 5 Popscene + Rickshaw Stop co-present SAFE MIND with Touching Ice plus DJ Hot Goth Girlfriend 8 pm doors $17 adv / $20 doors all ages 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. "LA-based trio Touching Ice in the space between raw intensity and gentle vulnerability. At their core, textured guitar riffs and pounding drum machines create a powerful dissidence, while heartfelt, pop-inspired melodies pierce through the chaos, ultimately revealing beauty within the brutal." - Flaunt Magazine
