OFF THE AIR Presents: Valley Wolf | Family Mystic | a Halloween party!
It doesn’t even need to be a holiday for this show to be a party, yet here we are!
Valley Wolf returns to the Off The Air stage, with support from Family Mystic.
Valley Wolf—Hailing from Modesto, California, Valley Wolf is a four-piece psychedelic rock outfit that fuses fuzzy guitars and driving rhythms with Latin influences like cumbia, huapangos, and mariachi. Led by Jairo Lomeli (vocals, guitar, keys), with Fernando Barocio (bass), Victor Alvarado (drums), and Andrew Mendoza (guitar) rounding out the lineup, their sound channels the lived experience of Californios in a working-class Central Valley city. Deeply rooted in local culture, the band strives to create music that is danceable, atmospheric, and socially grounded — an evocative alliance of psychedelic textures and Chicano identity
Family Mystic—Based in Portland, Oregon, Family Mystic is a collective of visionary songwriters who weave together classic funk, soul, psychedelia of the ’60s and ’70s, and elements of progressive jazz fusion, all anchored by rich four-part vocal harmonies. Their music moves fluidly between dreamy grooves and assertive expression, often engaging with spiritual, communal, and emotional themes. With a deep commitment to community and collective artistry, they present themselves as cultivators and visionaries who aim to uplift listeners and honor diverse life paths through sound.
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.
