Step into a world where boundaries are redefined and reflections tell stories. This immersive art show presents two captivating new collections, "Cutting Corners" and "Mirror Images," alongside selected works from the artist's archives.
In "Cutting Corners," traditional canvases are left behind for a bold exploration of form. Organic imagery—plants, animals, and more—comes to life on fiberboard cut-outs shaped to match their unique silhouettes, creating a dynamic interplay between subject and medium.
"Mirror Images" transforms everyday mirrors into mesmerizing works of art. Each piece is etched with intricate illustrations, turning reflections into interactive experiences. Imagine a wall of mirrors glimmering under shifting lights, inviting viewers to see themselves in new and unexpected ways—especially as the night unfolds.

Freak Slug Bio:
Instagram | Spotify | Facebook
A visual artist and painter as well as an unconventional, self-taught songwriter and musician, everything that fuels the creative output of Manchester’s Xenya Genovese, AKA Freak Slug, is about raw, authentic, sometimes weird but always totally true self-expression. She’s not one to sugar coat things; “I’m a lot, so it’s a lot to show who I am because some people might not like it,” she accepts. But in amongst the mix of an introverted extrovert, self described “avoidant” Leo rising, lives the sort of musician who can do nostalgic, ‘90s influenced and dreamy as well as eccentric and experimental. Down there, picking through the curious mix of sounds and feelings, lives Freak Slug
Hugely influenced by ‘90s cult heroes like Ride and Mazzy Star, Freak Slug is all about hitting a mood. A big, vocal character IRL, Genovese acknowledges that, when it comes to more internal matters, she finds life less easy. “I struggle to feel, in all honesty; music that moves me is the only way that I can feel sometimes. So if I can make something that makes me feel things, that’s cool cos I don’t get that opportunity often, and if I can make other avoidant people feel things, that’s cool too.” She laughs: “I’ve got the energy, I don’t need to listen to fucking drum ‘n bass. I’ve already got that!”
Huron John Bio:
Huron John evolves. A 24-year-old multimedia artist from Chicago, Illinois now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Huron provides a new layer of definition to the “do-it-yourself” indie standard. Entirely producing, writing, and engineering a now multi-album discography, the project’s genre-defying sounds proudly shapeshift into a rainbow-spectrum of moods and flavors. Using a wholesomely grassroots approach to independently amass over 35 million listens worldwide, they have carefully supplemented album rollouts with a multimedia angle including physical art books, interactive experiences, and most recently a full-length film premiered in theaters across select cities. Utilizing a ‘mystery-ridden online persona’ (-MTV) and a ‘day-tripper sound that delivers glitch juxtaposed with groove’ (-Ones To Watch), a mesmerizing melting-pot of alternative, electronic & sound-collage are delivered with ease.
THIS IS A DAY SHOW! MORE DETAILS COMING SOON…
SAVE THE DATE… IF YOU’RE LUCKY YOU’LL MAKE IT INSIDE FOR THIS SPECIAL MORNING SHOW.
Burgundy Blues is a four-piece indie band that specializes in a groove-oriented, chill sound. It’s jazzy; it’s soft-rock-y, it’s slightly funky, it’s Burgundy Blues! See them live at Libertine on March 22nd.
Tickets available here: BURGUNDY BLUES
"Andrew Russell is at the helm of Burgundy Blues; he writes, records and produces all the songs himself. He utilizes his beautifully haunting voice for lamenting tones on lyrics regarding love and emotional issues, and his music skills provide a nuanced sound on songs from indie ballads like “Lady (Find Me),” to the soulfully somber “Wait Away” and romantically funky “Do U.”" - Matt King, Coachella Valley Independent
Burgundy Blues will perform live at Libertine on March 22nd. This show is in partnership with local favorites Vinylistics! Get your tickets today and lock in your spot for this funky show.

TWO HEADED GIRL BIO
"Good Charlotte. Tegan and Sara. Now, Angie and Celeste.
Under Two Headed Girl, the Connecticut twins have continued the tradition in their self-proclaimed “twincore”, all the while exploring uncharted territory. Their full-length debut, “Media Naranja”, out on April 1st, explores the intersection of their queerness, their Puerto Rican heritage, and the tumultuous life experience called “living in Connecticut.” Beyond the reaches of emo, math rock, and punk, they meld together the frenetic noodling of Fall of Troy, the introspective pop of Rilo Kiley, and the fuzz-laden confessionals of Julie Doiron and their band’s namesake. The kind of record that’s just as apt for screaming along in the car with your friends as it is for cathartic wallowing alone. Let it soundtrack the teen soap of your life."

The Holdup is the musical project of Michael Garmany. Coming from San Jose, CA, he has built a cult following writing and producing his own brand of groovy, melody driven, pop music, borrowing influences from R&B, reggae, and hip-hop. Often mistaken for a group, The Holdup has been a one-man labor in the studio, with Garmany writing, producing, performing and engineering everything you hear on his albums. His catchy hooks and unapologetic lyrics have helped him sell out mainstay venues, such as The Roxy & El Rey Theatre, across the U.S. as well as clock in over 150+ million worldwide streams and counting…

Alex Garton’s Solar Garlic Experience is a daring take on the music of Phish, playing full length sets comprised of the popular American jam band’s music.
Their extended grooves call back to the early days of Phish’s inception in which the band included a second guitarist prior to the arrival of keyboard in their sound.
“Solar Garlic” aims to make the Phish experience accessible to all ages in a way that audiences have only described as “Heat by the Clove.”

Join Channel Frequencies in welcoming SONYA, BIG SIERRA, and DUSTY SOULS BAND at Libertine on January 23rd.
No Cover | 21+ | Doors 8pm
SONYA BIO
“Sonya” is the alias of singer/songwriter, producer & multi-instrumentalist Gerald Jones II, currently based in Santa Barbara, California.
He produces the music himself at home, focusing the sound around his melodic voice, crunchy/drone-y guitar, atmospheric pads, and lofi/hard hitting drums. Gerald grew up in between the busy, unique, beautiful San Francisco, and boring, culturally deprived suburbs of California. He has previously cited Nirvana, Guided By Voices, Prince, Darwin Deez, & The Strokes amongst his biggest influences.
BIG SIERRA BIO
Big Sierra is an indie/alternative rock band primarily located in central California. Drawing inspiration from acts such as Young the Giant and Alvvays, the bands sound is heavily focused on bright guitar chords, melodic bass lines, and soaring falsetto vocals.
DUSTY SOULS BIO
A band from San Luis Obispo, California that plays 70's rock and roll with influences from alternative, psychedelic, and indie music. The band originated in Occidental, California and is influenced by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
Join us as we welcome back the boys from Margot Sinclair on Thursday January 16th. This show will feature a special opening set from Two Paper Squares.

Arrive early to hang with the bands!
MARGOT SINCLAIR BIO
The band was established in the Fall of 2022 in San Luis Obispo. The band is composed of 5 members, all raised up and down the coast of California. Each member’s unique taste of music makes it difficult to confine their sound into one singular Genre. The newest members of Margot Sinclair have been playing together since the Fall of 2023.
TWO PAPER SQUARES
Learn more about Two Paper Squares here.
LEVITATION ROOM BIO
Psychedelic quartet Levitation Room build a cosmic wall of sound with dreamy guitars and an alternative dreamgaze flavor.—
East Los Angeles quartet Levitation Room’s floaty, cosmic songs are always a trip. Since forming nearly a decade ago, they’ve self-produced dizzying, otherworldly music that’s connected with fellow travelers in the hallucinogenic world of outré rock music. Led by singer and guitarist Julian Porte along with founding members Gabriel Fernandez (lead guitar) and Johnathan Martin (percussion), the band has enchanted live audiences at Desert Daze and on tour with like-minded groups Post Animal and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
The band’s vivid sound has found them placed on popular playlists like Modern Psychedelia and the legendary superproducer’s Danger Mouse Jukebox. Their 2015 debut, “Friends,” has surpassed 18 million streams. Joined by new member Kevin Perez (bass) in 2021, Levitation Room have continued to expand their colorful, unearthly sound, a process that has culminated with the vibrant new album Strange Weather. Collaborating with former Brian Jonestown Massacre keyboardist Rob Campanella, Jason Kick (Mild High Club), and Black Crowes’ Joel Robinow, Levitation Room take a new step in their story and vision with Strange Weather. The record’s lyrical narratives—about love in the park, life in the city, and the fact that “The world today is such an illusion”—are appropriately steeped in ’60s sonics and a dreamy, lo-fi atmosphere. It’s spacey, celestial guitar music for escaping into, and “it feels just like heaven.”
YASAWA GROUP BIO
Matt Taylor co-founded The Growlers just past the turn of the century, and that was an immense force in the bellowing sound of the great American west. And maybe the Growlers did get too close to the sun but making guitar based pop music from California is to have to stare straight into all that glimmers and fades away. You have to answer to and show up at the Dick Dale Stomp or a Suicidal Tendencies’ circle pit, maybe an Eden Ahbez’s prayer circle and be back stage at No Doubt. The Growlers did this and beyond and now have their place in that long lineage.
But this is not that. This is YASAWA Group that we speak of, so let’s get that out of the way. Yasawa, the opening salvo of the Fijian lexicon's fifteen words for heaven. This is the Spoiled Milk And Honey fable of a Contemporary Musical Record in the early part of the 21 st century. This is the alternate soundtrack to the un-scheduled remake of ToLiveAndDieinLA, the pack of coyotes night howl, the train yards past Vernon, the sea gulls crying in the grime of a mid day white washed by the thin sky of the Anthropocene, the millions of gas pipes burning as the wind rustles over the rat shit wrapped in palm fronds. Is it blasphemous to speak poorly of the sun ?
