This is going to be an honest-to-goodness night of indie rock and roll. From the playful and polished harmonies of French Cassettes (fresh from Outside Lands!) that make you wanna slide around the dance floor in your socks to Travis Vick's meaty lyrics and sludgy slides inside, outside, and in between the grooves of Radiohead and Neil Young.
And Rubber Lizard? Well, don’t expect much time to ease in—they’re going to blow the roof off from the start. It’s their FIRST EVER Off The Air show in Modesto, so let’s give them a warm welcome! Learn more here at Show Details, kay?

Yeah, I know we said 11/22 was going to be the last show of the year. But, we got our gears going about perhaps another show. It’s all still fluid. But just in case, we thought we’d manifest a date and a special little question mark on your calendar. Can we do that? We hope so.
That’s all for now, folks. Stay tuned.

Welcome to OFF THE AIR Presents—where indie music gets loud, weird, and real in the heart of Modesto. We’ve been curating the best of indie folk and rock since 2005, and we’re here to remind you that live music is still king. No gimmicks, no overproduced garbage—just raw performances from the artists that get you talking, thinking, and feeling something. This is your scene. Come for the music, stay for the moments that stick.
Shows are general admission, all-ages, welcoming, and safe.
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.
