DS Gallery: Fearless, loud, and lots of sweat with Babe Haven (Chicago, 6/13/26)

The Beat Kitchen had several powerful bands with fearless stage presence perform as Babe Haven headlined another unforgettable night of raw, chaotic energy along side Chicago’s Bev Rage & The Drinks and No Men.

The Beat Kitchen had several powerful bands with fearless stage presence perform as Babe Haven headlined another unforgettable night of raw, chaotic energy along side Chicago’s Bev Rage & The Drinks and No Men.

The doom-groove No Men sends shivers down your spine with deep vibrato and grinding riffs, transporting you into a trance. Or, as a friend put it, “I think this band just burped me.” 

Pursley leads on vocals and occasionally jumps in on a floor tom and snare, adding to the already blistering drumming.

This was a particularly special show for the fun and fab drag-fronted Bev Rage & The Drinks as it marked their 10-year anniversary as a band.  Starting with their 2016 debut self-released EP, Don’t Know Shit, Bev Rage & The Drinks have since released several full-length albums, numerous creative music videos and voted Chicago’s Best Punk Band by readers of the Chicago Reader for 2024 and 2025. 

The high-energy queer punk band from North Carolina, Babe Haven immediately got the room moving into a sweating frenzy while blasting through aggressively fierce and powerful songs such as “Nuisance”, “Uppercut” and “Gas Pedal”.

Having just finished their appearance at Camp Punksylvania (along with Bev Rage & The Drinks), Babe Haven will be touring the EU/UK this fall with Latter followed by a US West Coast tour.

Trump's Vanilla Ice concert canceled two hours before show


news

As you likely recall, Trump previously announced a concert titled "Freedom 250," to be part of "The Great American State Fair" at the national Mall. The event was created as a joint effort between the white house and Freedom 250, which was launched last year by the Trump administration and the president appointed its CEO. The lineup was announced as Martina McBride, Young MC, C&C Music Factory, Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, the Commodores, Morris Day and the Time, Flo Rida, and Brett Michaels. Almost immediately, seven of the nine performers dropped out, with those dropping out stating that they were mislead regarding the purpose and partisanship of the event. As of earlier this month, only Vanilla Ice remained on the bill. However, before the concert was scheduled to take place, severe weather storms formed. To that end, the concert itself was canceled two hours before the schedule start and will not be rescheduled. Notably, the so-called "Great American State Fair" is not in any state- it is in D.C., which is a Federal district.
