Codefendants: An Intimate Show at The Cellar

CODEFENDANTS RETURN TO CONNECTICUT!

Codefendants—the genre-defying project started by New Haven’s own Ceschi Ramos, Sam King (Get Dead), and Fat Mike (NOFX)—are making a special stop in CT to celebrate the release of Chris Conde’s new album on Fake Four!

Conde is a force in hardcore queer hip-hop, pushing the boundaries of genre, identity, and energy. Over the past year, their music has sparked both critical praise and controversy, earning attention from Spin Magazine and even Joe Rogan.

This stripped-down Codefendants duo—with special guests—will bring the raw, high-energy spirit of a 1990s Tune Inn show. Rumor has it that Vechel Jaynes might even make an appearance.

Fusing punk, underground hip-hop, indie rock, trip-hop, new wave, and beyond, Codefendants have carved out their own genre: Crime Wave. Their debut album on Fat Wreck Chords was named Record of the Year 2023 by Punk Rock Vinyl, scored 4/5 stars in Kerrang! Magazine, and received praise from Thrasher, Rolling Stone, Outburn Mag, and more.

Joining the lineup:
Myles Bullen – Fake Four labelmate delivering a vulnerable brand of indie hip-hop with an anti-folk twist.
Indigaux – Hyperpop hip-hop extraordinaire straight out of Elm City.

This Fake Four x Cellar On Treadwell event is one for the books.

Mixtape Match: Every Tuesday

Join us every Tuesday night in The Cellar on Treadwell when Digital Tracks Entertainment hosts Mixtape Match!

A ridiculously fun game that requires no musical knowledge AND you can walk away a big winner!

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!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MIXTAPE MATCH:

What are the three rounds like?
Each round plays similar to bingo. And, each round is a different musical theme. Some examples of round themes are… ‘80s Music, TV Theme Songs, Classic Rock, Current Hits, ‘90s Alternative, One-Hit Wonders, Hair Bands, Old School Hip Hop, etc.

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.

How much does it cost to play?
$2 per card or $10 for 6 cards.
