This event: Has LGBTQ content, Is LGBTQ hosted, May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || One night. Three bands. Two new albums! Damsel Trash and Hey Ghost are both thrilled to announce the date of their dual record release show at The Bur Oak in Madison: Saturday, June 20, 2026. Special guest Blasfemme will open. Doors at 6 p.m., show starts at a reasonable 7 p.m., and tickets are on sale now for $15.
Damsel Trash has been flinging filthy, witty, queer punk in our faces with wild abandon since 2015. This show is the long-awaited and rescheduled celebration of the 2025 release of the Madison/Brooklyn-based duo’s fourth studio album, Battle Hymn of the Queerpublic, recorded at Clutch Sound in Madison. The record includes raucous anti-fascist anthems, odes to polyamory, meditations on instant soup mixes, and a few recordings of their beloved pop covers.
Hey Ghost releases their self-titled debut album of powerful, melodic punk-metal. Written collaboratively and recorded with love at Welcome to 1979 in Nashville, TN over a hot and sweaty July weekend, songs explore topics from bodily autonomy to police brutality to mythical dream quests.
Blasfemme opens with blasphemous & fabulous acoustic-punk glitter-core, original music of defiance & solidarity in the late-stage capitalist fascist takeover of the ‘burning ‘20s’. Blasfemme also recently released her debut album, The Political is Personal, in February. || 15

Catch Brandy Clark live—blending country, folk, and Americana with honest lyrics and unforgettable melodies.

​​Grammy, CMA and Americana Award-winner, Brandy Clark, is one of her generation’s most esteemed songwriters and musicians. In the midst of a landmark year, Clark won Best Americana Performance at the 66th GRAMMY Awards and Song of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards with her acclaimed song, “Dear Insecurity,” featuring 11x Grammy-winner Brandi Carlile. The track is from Clark’s self-titled album, which was produced by Carlile and features her most personal songwriting to date.
Released to overwhelming praise, Forbes calls the record “an Americana Masterpiece,” while Variety proclaims it “further clarifies that she’s one of America’s treasures” and Billboard declares, “Clark continues to convey her inexorable talents as both a song-crafter and vocal interpreter.” In addition to her work as a solo artist, Clark has written songs such as “A Beautiful Noise,” the GRAMMY-nominated duet performed by Brandi Carlile and Alicia Keys, and Kacey Musgraves’ “Follow Your Arrow.” She also composed the music for the hit musical comedy, Shucked, alongside her longtime collaborator, Shane McAnally. With the show, Clark won Outstanding Music at the 67th Drama Desk Awards and was nominated for Best Original Score at the 76th Tony Awards, with Shucked receiving nine Tony nominations overall last year.
