MULE is a mobile curatorial format developed by Blue Ball Room, designed to carry energy, ideas, and expressions of new music from one space to another. Emerging from Blue Ball Room’s history of curated, in-house performances, MULE extends this practice beyond its original site, adapting to host venues while maintaining conceptual continuity. Each musical act presented within MULE stands in its own right — distinct, autonomous, and complete — while briefly entering relation through shared space, time, and listening. Hosted at Milney’s Upstairs, this first iteration of MULE continues Blue Ball Room’s commitment to attentive curation, experimentation, and the presentation of new music as a spatial and collective experience.
