Slut Magic / Flirting With Sincerity [Small Room-Downstairs]
Slut Magic is perhaps more known for their look-at-me fashion, silly diva antics, and the singer’s tits, than for any of the group’s “uncompromising…heart-on-the-sleeve” music. With a steady stream of festivals, collaborations, and Slut Magic merch, they are unabashedly moving into cult territory.Over the past five years, the band has made sexy and sarcastic indie punk/dark wave/garage pop with Laruicci Records and Rock Hand Records. Emma Sky’s dreamy to screamy vocals and nutty electric violin join with the giant sonic shapes created by Hot Boyfriend and his gold glittery guitar and pedal board (which might weigh more than he does). On drums Shannon Zakarison is the engine that keeps this rusted limousine running, and newest acolyte Jen Ho creates the perfect layer of earth under our feet on bass.In 2022 they released two singles: a punk commentary on the American Dream: Picket Fence, and an experimental hip-hop collab with Tenesha the Wordsmith. They melted in Brooklyn, toured the northeast and midwest in their craigslist limo, and made lots of new gorgeous friends. Palm Treat released a Hot Boyfriend shirt, and more new Slut Magic designs.

Julian Primeaux [Small Room-Downstairs]
Grammy Award nominee and Louisiana Music Hall of Fame inductee Julian Primeaux is the son of rock’n’soul and southern roots.
