For our 2nd of our last 3 shows, Sister Midnight presents The Slackers with special opening act Sean Wheeler.

For 33 years, the NYC-based and critically acclaimed Slackers have been touring the world with their blend of Ska, Reggae, and Soul.

Since 1991, the Slackers have released fifteen albums and countless singles, while their 1000s of live performances feed their fans with energetic sets of ecstatic music.

The Slackers have been called ‘the Sound of New York’ by the New York Times. They were described by Brooklyn Vegan as a“ clean mix of Ska, Reggae, and Soul that gets dirtied up by Vic Ruggiero’s tough New York accent.’

In April 2022, The Slackers released a new album, “Don’t Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” (Pirates Press) which quickly shot to the top of the US Billboard charts. The first time that a Slackers’ album has charted! Ironically after 30 years as a band, they qualified as a Billboard ‘new artist!’ The Washington Post noted that the Slackers “remain at the top of their game.”

The chart topping sales of “Don’t Let The Sunlight Fool Ya” capped a 2 year comeback of the Slackers. When Covid stopped live shows in 2020, the Slackers pivoted to livestreams and made5 full band concerts that were broadcast internationally to an audience of thousands. After the streams, they stayed in the studio and recorded the tunes that became ‘Don’t Let the Sunlight Fool Ya.’
The Slackers capped this come back with a series of frenetic tours in 2022 and 2023. They played everything from clubs to festivals in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Brazil.

Local desert favorite, Sean Wheeler (slide 2) will be opening the night. Sean helped define the sound some describe as “desert punk” mixing punk with rockabilly, country and surf with a dash of soul and gospel. He’s known as the frontman for the band Throw Rag among many other projects and genres. He has a wild stage presence, and a reputation for unforgettable live shows, he truly never disappoints.

New York based trio, SUSS bridge classic Americana instrumentation with atmospheric minimalism, pioneering a genre they call “ambient country,” – a term aptly defining their vivid and singular sound.

SUSS have been described by UNCUT as if “Eno’s Apollo Atmospheres crash-landed in America’s Sonoran Desert,” and by Pitchfork as “Neither rawboned nor ramshackle… elegantly composed brand of ambient country stands as tall and clean as a brand-new pair of cowboy boots.”

SUSS embrace pedal steel, a National guitar, mandolin, harmonica, baritone guitar, and the harmonium interwoven with synthesizers and loops, creating a massive high lonesome sound.

Jonathan Gregg: Pedal Steel, dobro

Bob Holmes: Mandolin, baritone guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica, violin, Keyboards

Pat Irwin: Electric guitars, National guitar, eBow, harmonium, keyboards, melodica, loops

THIS SATURDAY, APRIL 25th
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE WEIRD KIND
Intergalactic Space Party 👽🐇👽🐇

Kicking off the festivities is Alien Probe! Get ready for a mesmerizing, mind-blowing, out-of-this-world experience! Their spontaneous, psychedelic, rock and roll explosion will blast you with a spew of UFOology insights mixed with intriguing local alien lore. Expose yourself to an engaging and electrifying extraterrestrial exploration where fact meets fun. HAVE YOU BEEN PROBED?

Closing the night out is none other than Queen of the High Desert, Jesika von Rabbit
Mind-bending, sexy, weird, and endearing, Jesika von Rabbit’s art is full of utter madness, brilliance, and complexity. Intelligent, whimsical, vulnerable, and sarcastic, her lyrical content is one of the observer, the questioner, and the contrarian. Live, she is a sight to behold: dancing, transcendent, and confrontational, garbed in a skintight technicolor bodysuit. Her stage show features the Grundles, her Wonka-esque dancers who interpret the set with an array of amusing costumes and Vaudevillian skits, and long-time bassist Lee Joseph and drummer Beak Wing.

Dress to extra-terress - There will be prizes! 👾💚🏆
