🚨🎸SATURDAY, 10/17‼️ For 🔥DILES QUE NO NE MATEN, every note is a small step into the unknown. Their name, which translates to “Tell them not to kill me!”, is a direct homage to the famous 1951 short story by Mexican author Juan Rulfo. Formed in 2017, their latest work reaches into literary mysticism, indigenous mythology, and transcendent, hypnotic sounds that critics describe as a profound spiritual journey.

“Embodies the unsullied spirit of discovery.” ~Magnet📌

🔥DUMMY fuse sweet 1960s pop hooks with a massive, dizzying wall of electronic drone and blistering guitar fuzz. They refuse to play by standard indie rock rules. Instead, Dummy treats their studio like a mad scientist’s laboratory, constantly mashing together genres that should not work together—but somehow make you want to dance anyway.

“The quartet’s motorik rhythms and squealing guitars aim straight for the pleasure centers.” ~Post-Trash📌

📽️👽 THREE NIGHTS ONLY, Humboldt❗️FRIDAY 10/9 at 9:00 pm, TUESDAYS 10/13 and 10/20 at 7:00 pm‼️ 🎞️ “WELCOME SPACE BROTHERS” (from “The Source Family” director ⭐️Jodi Wille) dives into the extraordinary true story of the Unarius Academy of Science, an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school founded in El Cajon, California in the 1970s. Led by the dazzlingly outlandish Ruth E. Norman — revered as “Archangel Uriel” — Unarius evolved into a wildly inventive public-access TV phenomenon. “A vision of healing, acceptance, peace, cooperation, and hope, expressed through an outpouring of unbridled creative energy. If that spells crazy, beam me up!” ~Artillery

🕰️ Film premieres FRIDAY 10/9 at 9:00 pm, with encore “Taco Tuesday” 🌮 screenings 10/13 and 10/20 at 7:00 pm. Limited Seating, advance tickets recommended.🎟️

🚨WEDNESDAY, 10/14 at 7:00‼️ 🔥 SPIKE HELLIS is an L.A. based electronic duo formed on Halloween 2019 by Cortland Gibson and Elaine “Lainey” Chang, known for their dark, experimental industrial pop that blends 80s hip hop, techno, and EBM. Known for intense live shows, they have toured extensively with adjacent acts such as Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, ADULT. and Portrayal of Guilt.

🔥 NORMAL BIAS is an industrial body funk/electronic duo formed by Matt Weiner (of That Which Is Not Said/TWINS) and Chris Campion (of Multiple Man). Based between Atlanta and NYC, they create high-gloss EBM-tinged dance music with a pop sensibility, blending 80s synth tones with dark pop elements. “Dark, forceful energy reminiscent of classic acts like A Split Second, Depeche Mode, and Thrill Kill Kult.” ~Synthpop Fanatic on NORMAL BIAS

With Red Room DJs 🚨🪩 Datura Prime, RatGirl, KreePeeO, & Zero One in the house all night, keeping the beat right. Doors at 7pm. 21+🍸

They refuse to play by standard indie rock rules. Instead, Dummy treats their studio like a mad scientist’s laboratory, constantly mashing together genres that should not work together—but somehow make you want to dance anyway.

“L.A.’s Dummy are purveyors of absolutely blissful drone-pop. The quartet’s motorik rhythms and squealing guitars aim straight for the pleasure centers.” ~Post-Trash📌
