RAINBOW CITY PARK —Rainbow City Park is an indie-rock and dream-pop band from Northern California. Drawing influence from artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Pinegrove, and Big Thief, their debut album Fruitless captures the band’s mix of emotional depth, shimmering guitars, and dynamic energy.
SLOOME— Sloome creates music that blends 90s shoegaze and alternative rock with bursts of dreamy texture and distortion. The Modesto-based band balances grit and melody, creating songs that feel both nostalgic and new. Most importantly, you will dance. you WILL move, and there’s no controlling it.
THE FLOWERS— The Flowers are a psychedelic fuzz rock band from Modesto known for their high-energy shows. As self-proclaimed freaks, they deliver raw performances built on heavy riffs and unpredictable spirit. The exact dose of what we need in a world of filters and gloss to scrape away the excess and get down to what’s real. If touching grass was a band.
Welcome to OFF THE AIR Presents—where indie music gets loud, quiet, weird, and honest in the heart of Modesto. We’ve been curating high-level indie music since 2005, and we’re here to remind you that live music is still king. No gimmicks, no overproduced white noise—just honest performances from the artists that get you talking, thinking, and feeling something. This is your scene. This is your community, a place to make friends and find your people. Come for the music, stay for the moments that stick.
Shows are general admission, all-ages, welcoming, and safe.
Why Modesto?
There’s something about Modesto that breeds a special kind of artist and art lover. Maybe it’s the relentless self-deprecation, the way we mock our own cultural landscape like we’re in on some cosmic joke. But there’s something deeper at play, something woven into the fabric of this city.
The musicians, the creators—they carry a certain grit, a quiet resolve that seems born out of Modesto’s hard edges. They’re not chasing fame, and yet, they pull you in, leaving you marveling at their raw, unvarnished truth.
Maybe it’s the way this place makes them see the world—no illusions, just the meaningful struggle of it all. It’s that very lens that turns the mundane into something damn near lovely.
In our Off The Air world, Modestans who complain about Modesto are probably on the brink of doing something really, really cool. That’s because, in this Off The Air space, we are here to explore how to make our world more fun, more communal, more welcoming, and all with the old-as-Central-Valley-dirt spirit of rock and roll.
