This Friday, Brock Turner, the so-call "Stanford Swimmer" rapist will exercise his white male privilege by being released from prison, after serving just 3 months on his appallingly light 6-month sentence. While Judge Persky, the judicial enabler who allowed this injustice to occur, will no longer be presiding over such cases, there is clearly still a need to shine a spotlight on rape culture. Blaise Dahl's MTV "Look Different" interviews (from #GRLCVLT's FVCK RAPE CULTURE event at Baby's All Right) with Law Professor Michele Dauber (from Recall Aaron Persky), and artist/activists Amber Tamblyn, Rose McGowan, and Kiran Gandhi a/k/a Madame Ghandi will be up later this week. "So proud to have spent time with these amazing, inspiring women who are fighting to change the world for women everywhere," said Dahl, "you won't want to miss what they have to say!"
Blaise Dahl Joins Opener Jennie Vee on the Manic Street Preachers 20th Anniversary The Holy Bible Tour
Blaise Dahl has joined the Jennie Vee band on bass and backup vocals for Vee’s supporting slot on the Manic Street Preachers 20th Anniversary Celebration Tour of their iconic ‘The Holy Bible’ album. These are the first North American tour dates for the Manic Street Preachers since 2009, and they will be playing the album in full. ‘The Holy Bible’ was the band’s last album to feature guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards who disappeared five months after its release. His fragile mental state is reflected in the albums brash, unflinchingly bleak lyrics. The iconic 1994 record is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time.
Studio B at Studio G.

Courtney Love's bassist took Dahl Haus to Berlin... sort of... and it was FIRE!
Thanks to everyone who came out to our first show at Berlin NYC (Jesse Malin's new hot spot at the former site of the legendary Pyramid Club).
We missed our perenially sad boi & founder of Kasshugaze, Daniel Kasshu, on lead guitar last night, but Tom McCaffrey of Civillains did a rad job filling in for him. Thanks too, to Jennie Vee (Courtney Love's bassist, fashion icon, and Dream Pop Siren) for inviting us to open for her band in one of her last local shows before her UK tour. As always, Jennie's set was off-the-hook! Check out her new album, "Spying," and see why we love her.
When Your Lead Singer is a Loser.... and Damn Proud Of It!
Blaise Dahl of Dahl Haus joined the Loser’s Lounge on stage at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater for their tribute to the legendary songwriters of NYC's Brill Building. She got to check a favorite song off her musical history bucket list, covering Smith's version of the Burt Bacharach/Mack David/Barney Williams classic first sung by The Shirelles, "Baby, It's You."
NYC's Pride Weekend Officially Launched at Hunter Valentine's Pre-Party Show at the Knitting Factory
Dahl Haus was honored to open for Hunter Valentine last night at their pre-Pride weekend show at the Knitting Factory. Killer vibes, insanely pumped crowd, and awesome, high-energy set from local NYC Progressive Alt Rock/Queercore beasts, BOYS. A lot of love beaming up from that audience and we could feel the heat on stage. Thanks so much for embracing us. If last night was any indication, this weekend's celebration is going to be one wild ride. So glad we got our ticket punched early. Happy Pride, y'all!
