We're honored to host our first official Pitchfork Music Festival after show with 700 Bliss on Saturday, July 22nd. 💫
Tickets On Sale Friday June 16th @ 10AM
👉 www.goldendagger.com
700 Bliss is the forward-thinking duo of DJ Haram and Moor Mother. On their newest debut album, 'Nothing to Declare,' the duo create an album of noise rap, one that ties together the raw edges of club music and hip hop with punk energy, jazz, house-party catharsis, loud percussion-heavy analogue sound design, and cheeky skits. Some tracks (“No More Kings”) are distinct experimental rap tracks with rolling hi hats and lyrical bravado while others (“Seven”) are poetry set to noise and sound collage.
