Chanel Beads, Your Day Will Come

Shane Lavers captures the awe and unease of humanity’s impermanence on his debut album of dissociative dream pop.

Couch Slut, You Could Do It Tonight

Leaning into their lyrical strength of expressing life as we know it as a visceral horror story, the sludge-rockers’ fourth album is equally notable for its unexpected instrumental flourishes.

The Libertines, All Quiet on The Eastern Esplanade

Almost 30 years into their existence, the post-punk revivalists let listeners know that their youthful fire hasn’t dimmed on their fourth, most tightly wound album.

Last week, the FLOOD Gallery was transformed by graffiti artist Sket One into a holy place of worship for everything Star Wars. The exhibit’s opening reception (for the literally awesome Resurrection: A Star Wars Influenced Art Show) featured some of Sket One’s most angelic and ornate visual mashups of Christian iconography and everything from a galaxy far, far away.

Fans of Sket’s art were able to meet the man behind the golden Darth Vader statues while checking out everything from Imperial Eucharists and a full Star Wars prayer candle kneeling station to massive AT-AT Galactic Empire flags in the style of California’s iconic golden bear. Art collectors and Sci-Fi fans mingled over a drink provided by our wonderful beverage sponsors: Pabst Blue Ribbon and RESQWATER.

Check out photos from the night below and make sure to stop by the FLOOD Gallery this week to check out the exhibit for yourself. Resurrection is open to the public until Wednesday, November 25. The gallery will be open from 11 a.m.–3 p.m.
