"I will throw a tantrum if Sloppy Jane doesn't go to space" Phoebe Bridgers
L.A. based musician Haley Dahl, aka Sloppy Jane, has launched a social media campaign to be chosen for a civilian mission to the Moon via dearMoon Project,  a Space-X affiliate who will be choosing 8 brave civilians to venture to the Moon.

Their hope for this missions is to choose 8 creatives who have something important to say, who's ideas could be forwarded by space travel.


The dearMoon project is a lunar tourism mission and art project conceived and financed by Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa. It will make use of a SpaceX Starship on a private spaceflight flying a single circumlunar trajectory around the Moon. The passengers will be Maezawa, 8 civilians, and one or two crew members. The project was unveiled in September 2018 and the flight is expected to occur no earlier than 2023.

For the past 7 years Haley has fronted LA/NYC based experimental/punk outfit, Sloppy Jane. Known for a rotating cast of characters on stage and an enigmatic stage presence, Sloppy Jane has played shows with Better Oblivion Community Center, Deerhoof and more.

"Watching Dahl is what I imagine it must have been like to watch Captain Beefheart perform Trout Mask Replica—or, indeed, any of the L.A. weirdos from Frank Zappa to Harry Nilsson play during the halcyon days of the ’60s and ’70s." 

-Sophie Kemp, Vogue Magazine

"An articulate, intelligent, and quite wild woman, she utilizes the fiery curiosity and unaffected spirit within children to combat the weight of the world and navigate the creative spaces in her head: "a strip club, a sitcom, a playground, and a house of God."

-Joe Viola, Office Magazine

"Haley Dahl has a talent for visualizing and creating beauty, it just might not be the sort of thing that we are taught to associate with the word."

-Amanda Lang, Alt Citizen
