Sherbet & Champagne with Zeus Apollo, and Spank

Hi-octane garage rockers Sherbet & Champagne return to melt faces at the Club Congress!Sherbet & Champagne isn’t just the band your stepparents simultaneously dream of and fear. It’s a quiet unraveling. Their paint-peeled sound, heard on the 2023’s Raw For a Reason and 2024’s Sektkult, takes you past the surface of your life, into something sharper, sweeter, and harder to leave behind. At their shows, people don’t just listen—they become.They won’t tell you to walk away from your family. You’ll just start to realize how little of that life still fits.

Sharing a love of 90’s post hardcore and 70’s classic rock, Austin based Zeus Apollo combine melodic and straightforward riff heavy original songwriting, complemented by pounding, yet intricate rhythms that are both aggressively anthemic and loud. Formed in 2021, when guitarist Aaron Franklin and drummer Jason Henderson joined forces with guitarist/vocalist Jud Thomas and bassist Mike Czysz, they found common ground in influences ranging from Drive Like Jehu to early ZZ Top. Their most recent releases include a 6-song vinyl EP and a split 7” with Austin trio The Gary on Act Your Age Records.

W/ Nuovo Testamento

Automatic make deviant pop music that cuts through the brainrot. Balancing irreverence with sharp commentary, the L.A. band approached their third album with a dark sense of humor and a renewed sense of momentum. Izzy Glaudini (synths, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals) believe messages of change land best with a backbeat and a cheeky groove – and on their new album Is It Now?, they ask us to confront the world’s oppressive structures with fresh urgency.

For Is It Now?, Automatic collaborated with producer Loren Humphrey (Cameron Winter, Nice As Fuck, Arctic Monkeys), building on the minimalist, danceable sound of Signal and Excess. Where earlier records leaned more grid-based, this album was made live and loose – favoring long takes and a rhythm section that breathes. Perky grooves and affable pop melodies act as a Trojan horse for playful political commentary; it may take a few listens to realize that the pulsing bassline, stabbing synths, and sci-fi FX of ‘mq9’ are meant to echo the sound of drone bombs.

The band wanted the record to sit comfortably alongside artists like A Certain Ratio or Air. On ‘Don’t Wanna Dance,’ they nod to late-’70s British scenes shaped by Caribbean music, where dub collides with punk and funk slips into motorik grooves. ‘Smog Summer’ draws inspiration from Patrick Cowley (also an influence on ‘NRG’ from Excess), grounding its environmental message in a disco thrum.

Unsparing in their critique – of automated warfare (‘mq9’), mindless consumerism (‘Is It Now?’), and the political influence of oil (‘The Prize’) – Is It Now? also offers ways forward: dancing, resisting, coming together, falling in love. Like its title, the album doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but it might inspire better questions – or at least get you dancing yourself awake while searching.

Automatic are touring the US and Canada this year.

For over a century, the Hotel Congress has stood at the heart of Tucson, a living witness to the city’s history—and to those who refuse to leave it behind. Built in 1919, the hotel was designed for travelers stepping off the Southern Pacific line, with guest rooms, a café, a beauty shop, a barber, and the now-famous Tap Room bar. Yet beneath the grandeur of its architecture lies something far older: the land itself has been continuously inhabited for thousands of years, making Tucson one of North America’s oldest, and most haunted, living communities.

On this 30-minute walking tour, you’ll be let in on the hotel’s best-kept secrets. Meet the lace-shrouded lady of the staircase, drifting through the lobby trailing the faint scent of roses; the Victorian Gentleman in Room 214, quietly surveying the plaza in seersucker and top hat; the Locksmith’s Apprentice, tinkering at unseen locks; Vince, the butter-knife handyman, still tending to his work decades after his passing; and the Lady in White, whose presence has startled more than a few male guests. You’ll even hear the story of infamous bank robber John Dillinger, who passed through Hotel Congress in 1934 before a fire exposed his gang’s presence and led to his capture—without a single shot fired.

The tour wraps up in the rarely seen séance room, a space of quiet reflection, lingering echoes, and centuries of footsteps—perfect for anyone curious enough to step just a little closer to the unexplained. It’s more than a ghost tour; it’s a backstage pass to a living portrait of Hotel Congress, where history, humanity, and spirits mingle in plain sight.

Please note: the elevator was destroyed in the famous 1934 fire—guests must climb one flight of stairs to reach the haunted rooms.
