DÜÜVEL.SHOWS PRESENTS: BABE HAVEN + LATTER
Babe Haven is a queer punk band known for their riot grrrl attitude and nu-metal edge. Formed
in Boone, NC by Lillie Della Penna and Naomi Poesel, the band creates anthems of
empowerment and resistance brimming with raw aggression. With a mission to uplift femme,
queer, and BIPOC voices, Babe Haven turns every show into a space of radical inclusion and
catharsis.
Babe Haven has been setting stages ablaze and selling out shows, quickly becoming an iconic
staple in the modern punk scene, shared stages with the likes of Mannequin Pussy, Otoboke
Beaver, Soft Play, Teen Mortgage, Pinkshift & Pollyanna. They have also appeared at popular
tastemaker festivals such as L7’s Fast and Frightening Takeover, Punk Rock Bowling & Jorts
Fest.
Their sophomore album, Nuisance, showcases a bold evolution in sound—blending nu-metal,
thrash, and punk into a visceral, genre-defying statement that cements their place as one of
punk’s most vital rising voices.
Latter is a Chicago-based noise rock project formed by chance in 2022 by Philadelphia-
born sound artist Meredith Haines and drummer Jonathan Alvarado (Beach Bunny). After a
decade in the Philadelphia DIY scene, Haines had stepped away from music entirely—
burned out and building a new life as a sound artist and college advisor. A spontaneous
connection with Alvarado sparked weekly jam sessions that quickly evolved into a raw and
unique collaboration. Drawing from Haines’ background in both sound art and modern
dance, the band’s performances blur the lines between noise rock, performance art, and
sound art, pushing beyond genre through a volatile mix of tension and vulnerability.
