The Whimbrels, Jeff Mueller, TV Sleep, & The Sandy Clams
The Cellar on Treadwell Presents: The Whimbrels, Jeff Mueller, TV Sleep, & The Sandy Clams
THE WHIMBRELS
Power art-rock band with lineages to some of the most influential and raw music New York has produced--loud art with a back beat. The players’ credits--Glenn Branca Ensemble, The Swans, J. Mascis--predict the guitar-driven, sonic onslaught of The Whimbrels. “No wave luminaries unite in psychedelic rock in The Whimbrels, bringing all the squall and drone you’d expect, plus a surprising amount of psychedelic tunefulness.” (Dusted Magazine) Their debut LP on Dromedary Records, "The Whimbrels", generated critical raves and landed on best-of lists for 2025.
JEFF MUELLER
Jeff Mueller is an American vocalist and guitarist best known as a member of the math rock bands Rodan, Shipping News and June of 44. His bands have been critically recognized for being key forerunners in the development of post-rock, math rock and post-hardcore.
TV Sleep
Long in talks but short in the making, TV Sleep was formed only a handful of rehearsals before their first gig. Spontaneous, avant-garde, and eclectic, they blend a variety of influences across post punk, hardcore, noise, and improv sensibilities. Longtime friends through the Hudson Valley music scene, TV Sleep came together out of a shared love for dissonant and driving music, with the goal of creating an amorphous sonic atmosphere.
THE SANDY CLAMS
CT post-noise-punk three piece band The Sandy Clams take on furious drums and heavy bass sprinkled with noisy guitar and tense vocals.

The Eighty Six Seas, Pocket Vinyl, & Zanders
The Eighty Six Seas, Pocket Vinyl, & Zanders
THE EIGHTY SIX SEAS
The Eighty Six Seas is the moniker of Nick Stevens, a Boston-based artist who weaves a tapestry of indie rock, indie pop, indie folk and folktronica into a sound all his own. Decorated with sweeping strings and poetic stories, it’s a sound that has been shaped by influences as wide-ranging as The National, Frightened Rabbit, New Order, Belle and Sebastian, David Byrne, The Mountain Goats and Bon Iver. His most recent album “Scenes from an Art Heist” was hailed by Vanyland as “an electronic-pop jaunt of detached cool and seductive melodicism” and by Conversations About Her as “a captivating musical journey for those who appreciate music that challenges and provokes.
https://theeightysixseas.com/
POCKET VINYL
Piano Slam Rock + On Stage Painter
Pocket Vinyl are an incredibly unique piano-slamming/live-painting band from CT. Their live show consists of insightful piano indie rock coupled with a live painter, who creates a work of art on stage during the show, which gets auctioned off afterwards. Every painting and show is unique.
The new album “Rabbit on Fire” (out now) is 9 story songs about a ruthless warrior (Death's Favorite Daughter), a widow reflecting on their new life (Audio Sickness), an artist relieved to have lost their passion for art (Bleed Like A Victory, a macabre piece of furniture (Chair From Your Bones), and exactly 5 other tales. It's emotionally dark material wrapped in bright indie rock. You're going to love it.
If you'd like to go down the rabbit hole of this band, just put “Pocket Vinyl” in any search bar on the internet and you'll find us. They lucked out with an easy-to-find band name. They have a feature length film (Drive. Play. Sleep.), an autobiographical weekly comic (The Touring Test), played over 1100 shows in all 50 states, and are always up to something interesting.

WHAT IS MIXTAPE MATCH?
MIXTAPE MATCH similar to bingo. But, instead of balls with letters and numbers being called, your host plays a song. Match the songs with the squares on your bingo card. It’s that easy!
CARD SALES START AT 6:45pm
FIRST GAME STARTS AT 7pm
Bring your friends, because the more who play, the bigger the pot!

Do I need to know the names of songs and the artists?
No. This is not music trivia. The names of the songs and the artists will be announced.
Do I need to play all three rounds?
No, but we’d like for you to play all three rounds.

A Celebration of Black Metal Might
Underground Experience Presents: A Celebration of Black Metal Might
Cemetery Moon casts an eternal, haunting shadow over Hamden when they unveil their newest craft “Dominion of Ashes”. In league with the bestial warlords in Fleshmass, the luciferian cult that is Necralant, and the chaotic majesty that is Steaming Woodlands synth sorcery, TRUE black metal might comes forth! Let frigid mysticism and ancient ritual commence once more under the full moon.
