Bio:
Natasha Janfaza releases her debut EP with Washington DC rock/electronic record label house of joy. Combining nostalgic alternative concepts with experimental production, Natasha’s voice delivers earnest yet urgent anxiety, pulling you into her world with catchy hooks and subversive instrumentation with drummer brendan canty (fugazi, rites of spring, the messthetics).
Produced and engineered by D Saperstein (Flasher) and Owen Wuerker and with an accompanying video for the single “lemonhead” directed by Katie Alice Greer (Priests), TUNNEL’s “vanilla” fuses different generations of DC punk talent together into one power-packed, 90s drenched, suckerpunch.

BIPOC only Partner Movement and Stretch
2025-04-04 17:30 - 18:30 | Splinter Movement Space
First Fridays each month.
This is a safer space to let it all go and be in community with other folks of the global majority. This space is necessary because the american facing wellness world is so white (even though we know these traditions and modes have been practiced by Indigenous folks all over the world for centuries but… I digress). Colonization has made it so that folks of the global majority are so far removed from these ancient healing modalities. So come, root in and be in community.
Hosted and facilitated by Sir (@espirrodegato) in Splinter Movement Space.
