The Red Museum is a volunteer-run DIY warehouse space on the edge of Downtown Sacramento. Local artists and musicians create here every day, and occasionally we open our doors to the community by hosting unique art and music events.

FIELDRESS
Fieldress refuses to be boxed in. Sometimes dreamy, sometimes psychedelic indie pop... sometimes jazz? The Oakland-based project shapeshifts between genres, crafting dynamic, melancholic songs woven with haunting harmonies.Founded in 2018 by Sasha Reynolds and Zach Farhney, Fieldress began as a two-piece, with both musicians intertwining delicate yet expressive guitar lines to create rich, textured soundscapes. Over time, the project evolved into a full-band exploration of sound, now featuring Sasha Reynolds (lead vocals, guitar), Omi Golucino (bass), Marissa Deitz (cello, vocals), Phil Di Leo (guitar, vocals), and Francisco Camacho (drums). At the heart of Fieldress is Sasha Reynolds—a devoted creator. Her artistry extends beyond music, shaping every aspect of the project with an unmistakable personal touch. That craftsmanship is especially present in this self-released record and is a testament to the band’s hands-on approach to their art.On June 27th, Fieldress released their debut full-band album, It’s a Lot. This will be their first time playing The Red Museum, so please give them a warm welcome.
DOGPATCH
dogpatch is a Sacramento indie band consisting of 8 friends who together cast spells of love and belonging. With blends of folk and magic, their music exists to create a portal to the heart.
PROBLEM PLAYS
Problem Plays is an indie rock band that formed in Stockton, California in 1989. For most of their career, the group consisted of Damian Ortellado (vocals and guitar), Sam Fields (bass), and Sam Benavidez (drums). They attracted considerable underground attention with their "erratic and erotic" early performances, but avoided press. Gradually evolving into a more polished band, Problem Plays recorded two albums over the course of their decade-long career, before disbanding in 1999 with the members citing "irreconcilable differences and loss of physical chemistry." They undertook a well-received international reunion tour from 2022-2024, and they are chuffed for their first visit to the Red Museum. Their new project 'Ding Ding Magic' will be available on July 18th in record stores across America and the cosmos.

GROUP ART SHOW: 'DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD'
AUGUST / 10 / 2025
DOORS: 5PM | SHOW: 7PM
MADELINE KENNEY
Madeline Kenney has always followed her creative instincts wherever they lead, crafting a musical career marked by constant evolution. Raised on piano and with a background spanning neuroscience, dance, visual arts, and baking, music ultimately became her primary artistic outlet. Since her 2017 debut Night Night at the First Landing, co-produced with Chaz Bear (Toro y Moi), Kenney has built a reputation for her intricate songwriting, layered production, and collaborations with artists like Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes) and Kurt Wagner (Lambchop).Her latest album, Kiss from the Balcony, is a testament to both personal and artistic growth. Created in collaboration with Ben Sloan and Stephen Patota, the record emerged from two week-long studio sessions in Oakland, where the trio transformed sketches and fragments into a fully realized album. Originally conceived as an EP, the project expanded as the chemistry between the three musicians brought unexpected depth to the songs. Sloan, with his background in experimental percussion and sound design, added an electronic texture to Kenney’s songwriting, while Patota’s guitar work provided a grounding warmth.This record sees Kenney refining her exploration of love, power, and self-discovery. Songs like Slap and Scoop examine the complexities of identity and resilience, while They Go Wide reflects on both romantic and professional struggles. Though deeply introspective, Kiss from the Balcony embraces playfulness and hope, capturing the fearless curiosity that defines Kenney’s work.Throughout her career, Kenney has maintained an adventurous approach to music, balancing meticulous craftsmanship with an openness to spontaneity. Whether directing music videos for artists like Hand Habits and Boy Scouts, collaborating on other musicians’ projects, or pushing the boundaries of her own sound, she continues to evolve, embracing each new phase with curiosity and conviction. With Kiss from the Balcony, she reaffirms her place as a singular voice in modern indie music—bold, thoughtful, and always willing to take risks.

DOORS: 7PM | SHOW: 8PM
RAINBOW CITY PARK
Rainbow City Park is an indie-rock/dream pop band from Northern California. The group draws inspiration from the 90s alt-rock scene and modern artists such as Phoebe Bridgers, Diiv, and Pinegrove. RCP is based out of Sacramento, Davis, and San Francisco.Formed in early 2022, the band consists of Dani Judith (lead vocals, guitar), Chris O’Keefe (guitar), Nick Nassab (guitar, vocals) and Ryan Williams (drums). After a busy first year of touring, they released “Broken Record / Dad Jeans” in the spring of 2023 and “Convince You” in the fall. “Valentine’s Day 1999” was released in early 2024 to critical acclaim and high praise from the west coast indie scene. Frontwoman Dani Judith explores existentialism and family in this ethereal tune.RCP, known for their tight/energetic shows, has performed alongside artists such as Royel Otis, Japanese Breakfast, Katy Kirby, Wild Child, The National Parks, Ben Nichols of Lucero, and Sarah and the Sundays.
Rainbow City Park is thrilled to announce their debut EP, 'Fruitless' – out February 4th, 2025. This five-song collection is a diverse representation of the band’s sonic range while blending introspective lyrics with rich melodies.
PANCHO AND THE WIZARDS
Pancho and the Wizards are an independent band from San Luis Obispo heavily influenced by hard rock, psychedelic, shoegaze, and punk. Pancho's 2021 release, "Residual" was recorded at Gold Digger's studios in LA by Chad Ubovich of the bands Fuzz and Meatbodies. Their full length follow up, 'Sun in Splendor,' was self-produced and is set to release in August 2025, with their first single "Be Here Now" having been released in April. In 2024 they embarked on a 15 show west coast tour with The Black Lips. In May of 2025, Pancho was direct support for Jack White at the Santa Barbara Bowl on his No Name tour.Since their inception, Pancho has supported or toured with artists such as Wand, Meatbodies, The Garden, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Levitation Room, Sugar Candy Mountain, and hundreds of other prominent bands in the indie and psych rock scene.
APHIDS AS LOVERS
Much like their tiny green namesake, the music of Aphids as Lovers can come through in subtle waves and as a destructive force. Their lyrics express a desire to combat complacency through acts of resistance, romance, self-love, or simply getting off the couch, while the music flips the couch over and forces you to action. Aphids as Lovers recently released 'Rosa Mortem Demos,' a collection of five songs from a live session at Rosa Mortem in Sacramento, California. The songs are streaming on all major platforms and available on Bandcamp.
SHUNKAN
Born on the Gemini-Taurus cusp and raised in a bicultural household, Marina Sakimoto has always felt the pull of duality — a sense of being both split and whole. This theme is the heartbeat of Shunkan, the Los Angeles-based rock project she leads with raw emotion and unflinching honesty.In 2024, Shunkan signed to Rite Field Records and collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Alex Newport (Death Cab for Cutie, At the Drive-In, Bloc Party) to craft a record that captures a pivotal moment in Sakimoto’s life. Written during one of her most challenging years, the album reflects on fleeting friendships that echoed her adolescence, coming to terms with an unwinding love, and wandering through the streets of LA in search of herself.Shunkan’s sound melds angular, emotive guitar work with anthemic melodies, channeling the raw intensity of second-wave emo and the vibrant hooks of early-2000s alternative rock. It’s a dynamic style that has earned critical acclaim for her EP Honey, Milk and Blood and debut album The Pink Noise, praised by outlets such as The Guardian, NME, and Spin. In 2019, The Pink Noise was archived by the National Library of New Zealand for its cultural significance.Her latest album Kamikaze Girl pays homage to the music that first inspired Sakimoto, exploring themes of connection, nostalgia, and transformation. With a foot in the past and an eye on the future, Shunkan continues to explore the beauty of being caught in a moment.

THE SNARES
NOVEMBER / 16 / 2024
DOORS: 7PM | SHOW: 8PM
THE INTELLIGENCE
Over the course of 11 albums (!), The Intelligence has established a backbone that boogies through revolutions, allowing each jam-crammed dispatch to feel and sound admirably unique. The angular sharp shocks heard in earlier years have steadily evolved into the ballooning grooves heard on more recent releases."Lars Finberg’s long running concern continues to defy expectation and the trappings of genre with nine squirming, dialed back but furious avant pop songs. Now, Squirm! could quite possibly be as heralded in the future as the Screamers or the Art Bears are now."
Mike McGonigal – Maggot Brain Magazine
ALICE SANDAHL
Though Los Angeles based artist Alice Sandahl isn’t an unknown element within independent music, her solo work is distinct from her work as a keyboardist and vocalist with rock band La Luz. On solo debut Bright and Blue, Alice Sandahl (La Luz) excavates with unvarnished vulnerability themes of loss, grief, and hope for the future with keyboard-driven music that combines pop, jazz, and the Great American songbook—Nina Simone meeting Harry Nilsson in a smoky bar anywhere in the world.This is the world she returns to in her live performances, giving us a peek into her internal sonic world.
THE SNARES
The Snares are an American psych-rock outfit based in Sacramento, California making waves in the West Coast music scene with their genre-defying fusion of psychedelic and noise rock, garage, pop, and post-punk. Their live shows bring a notoriously electric energy that makes crowds head bang, mosh, or full-on boogie. The band consists of Izzie Gomez, Lukas Brodie, Danielle Judith and Julian Paz. Their debut album, Walls That Sweat, was released March 2023.
