BABY (in drag: she/Her / out of drag: they/Them)
Prepare to be STUNNED by this Ex-Drag Race UK fave and self-proclaimed "afro punk princess". Baby gets her name from being the youngest sibling of five and has been doing drag for four years, starting out in clubs in London and Brighton. She studied musical theatre so can sing, dance and act (triple threat queen) and as we've seen from her RPDR appearances turn countless iconic looks. She describes her drag as "pretty, punk and Black" and recently released a banging track called 'Theatre!' produced by LXDEE which is about "giving yourself permission not to be okay" through mental health struggles.

CUMGIRL8
This four-piece hail from NYC and make incendiary danceable post-punk reminiscent of The Slits, ESG, Delta 5 and Kleenex. Cumgirl8 are Lida Fox (bass, vocals), Veronika Vilim (guitar, vocals), Chase Noelle (drums, vocals) and Avishag Rodrigues (guitar, vocals). Their name is an homage to early 2000s internet culture and as well as making music (releasing two incredible EPs to date) they've experimented with fashion, modelling, film and zines, describing themselves early on as a "sex-positive alien amoeba entity". Live they are unmissable - expect hypnotic, riotous chaos from this long-awaited London debut.

LYNKS (he/They)
Lynks' Insta biog describes him as the "best musician in the entire world" and we're not going to disagree with this up and coming "masked drag monster". They have put out so many queer bangers it's impossible to keep up - check out latest track 'MEN' and previous EPs 'Smash Hits, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2'. He also has sublime taste in avant pop bops (as proven by recent mixes and shows for BBC Radio 6 Music and a recent set for Spotify's misfits 2.0 Anti-Prom) so this DJ set is certain to slay in all the right ways.

PHONEWIFEY (he/They)
We fell in love with Phonewifey's DJ sets when we saw them play a bunch of bangers at Dalston Superstore - including a tasty af cover of Alanis' 'You Oughta Know' by the incredible Miss Madeline. Phonewifey also makes his own iconic music which we've been fans of since we heard 2021's ' phoneAVA' EP (a collab with AVA AKIRA), and their album 'Forever 2021' which came out in March is one of our best of the year. A regular presence at SWAGCHELLA and GR1N has made Phonewifey one of London's hottest DJs and we're stoked to welcome him to Ghost School.
