***OFF THE RADAR CLUB*** Winged Wheel (ft. Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth) Support: Congee Rats (HH)

Winged Wheel is a collective of figures from the U.S. music underground who bring several lifetimes of experience and abstract practice to their collaborative sound. The six-piece, multi-location band is made up of Whitney Johnson (Matchess, Circuit des Yeux), Cory Plump (Spray Paint, co-owner of the venue Tubby’s), Matthew J. Rolin (solo guitar wizard and half of the Powers/Rolin Duo), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), Lonnie Slack, and Fred Thomas (Idle Ray, Tyvek).
Their sound melts together hypnotic kosmische, dual guitar exploration, viola freakouts, Throbbing Gristle-style vocal assaults, and extended technique lap steel, all connected with a web of dubby production.
Their third album Desert So Green, is out January 9, 2026 via 12XU, just in time for their first tour of Europe.
