# Event Details - **Event Name**: Sled Island Kick-Off with Stucco, Eejungmi, Shunk, Hair Control, MA: Q, WANTS and more - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 16 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Stucco A kraut-leaning post-punk project formed in 2019, Stucco features former members of DRI HIEV, Slut Prophet and Body Lens. A rhythmic exploration into the angularity of music, their work draws from the imagery of a wicked, crumbling metropolis, finding inspiration in a world disintegrating under consumerism, capitalism, and technology. Eejungmi The solo electronic project of Toronto-based artist, DJ and architect Katie Lee, Eejungmi (이정미) blends textural left-field pop and dance-inspired production with deep introspection, navigating the emotional landscapes of identity and grief. Her debut album, Water is a Shifting Mirror, was released in February 2026. Shunk Blending post-punk, dream pop, shoegaze, indie and more to form their own specific sonic palette, Shunk’s eccentric and electrifying live performances reflect Montreal’s boundary-pushing music scene. Vocalist Gabrielle Colette can embody multiple personas physically and vocally, ranging from opera to hardcore. This is all grounded by a honed rhythm section, and shimmering, synth-inspired guitar parts. Hair Control Multidisciplinary artists Ryan Bourne (Chad VanGaalen, Ghostkeeper, The Plant City Band) and Rebecca Reid weave calisthenic synths, vibing drum machines, lush percussion, and visual effects into a hot art-pop portal through inner space. With a hypnagogic live show and a debut record slated for release in summer ‘26, HAIR CONTROL is the synth-wave mixtape for your existential workout. MA: Q Led by keyboardist Mary Ancheta, MA:Q (Mary Ancheta Quartet) draws from raw, gritty moments while exploring elements of improvisation, funk, fusion, hip-hop and Afrobeat. With the release of her new album When the Light Comes to Play, Mary is ready to bring their brand of intergalactic punk-funk to Sled lsland. Expect the unexpected. WANTS Blending propulsive synths and emotionally charged songwriting, synthy post-punk project WANTS draws from coldwave, new wave and modern goth. In anticipation of an immersive live performance, start with their latest album In Plain Sight for an ‘80s electronic-inspired experience exploring themes of disconnection, intimacy and survival. Pearly Moon With a sound blending 12-string jangle, stompbox freakouts and melodic basslines, Pearly Moon’s tuneful lo-fi psychedelia invites you to turn off your mind, relax and float downstream. The group has shared stages with fellow psych purveyors Witch Victim, The Radiation Flowers, Doom Gong and more, and are working on a follow-up to their 2024 debut album Tragicomedy. Bijaan This Calgary-based MC wields an artistry that bridges continents and cultures. With roots in East Africa and India, he brings a distinctly global perspective to hip-hop. From releasing mixtapes in high school to performing at major events such as NXNE and JUNO Week, Bijaan has carved out a place for himself as a rising voice in Canada’s hip-hop scene. KTheChosen Zimbabwean-born and Calgary-based, KTheChosen is your “Friendly Neighbourhood Rapper” who believes in the power of storytelling. Backed by his band The Knomads, he uses his voice to share the experiences of those around him. K’s live show is known for feel-good vibes, energetic freestyle jams, and a sense of belonging for everyone in the room. Important info: Start and running times are subject to change.
