⭐️JUST ANNOUNCED - FAUX REAL⭐️

Coming up Thursday, Oct 22nd
🎟️ Tickets on sale NOW!

Presented by ✨

It’s hard to pin down Faux Real. The Franco-American art pop duo, comprised of brothers Elliott and Virgile Arndt, have been steadily broadening the scope of their project. Their high-octane DIY performances, involving matching costumes, synchronised dance routines, and crowd-splitting high-kicks, are taking on a more established and ever more unhinged form — think Iggy Pop meets Eurodance boyband. Toeing the line between undeniable pop potential and an off-kilter flair lies at the core of everything they do. The contradictions between order and chaos, between the visceral and the artificial — that’s where Faux Real truly shines. That said, no one really knows what is real and what is faux, and that’s the magic of it all.

Quintron and Miss Pussycat have been making genre-defying noise and hard rocking dance music in New Orleans for over twenty years. The majority of their 17 full-length albums have the psychedelic soul of traditional New Orleans party music, filtered through a Hammond organ, technicolor puppets, and a battalion of distorted, homemade instruments. Quintron and Miss Pussycat’s sweaty musical blasts are paralleled in spirit and performance by Miss Pussycat’s dreamy puppet worlds — elaborate, and beautifully crafted for success in intimate venues of late-night drinking and dancing. The Quintron / Miss Pussycat experience is one of barely controlled electronic chaos, “Swamp-Tech” dance beats, small explosions, incredible clothes, and entertaining puppet stories. -
