Doors open at 7pm, concerts begin at 8pm. This is a 16+ event.
Life has been chaos lately; you deserve a little treat. Lucky for you, nomadic California duo System Exclusive are back in the van, carry(ing) on spreading upbeat synth-powered dream punk all over these beleaguered United States. After 275 shows in two years across 16 different countries, these road pups just can’t shake the feeling they need to be swinging through your town and singing for the cheap seats.
Their latest release “Click” (a split release between Le Cepe Records in Paris, France and Mt St Mtn in Sacramento, CA) laced their mad scientists lab of bleeping and buzzsawing synthesisers with barbed wire guitars, anchored by the powerful pulse of live drums. Atop it all, Ari’s powerhouse alto, tough and tender by turns, drives the songs into emotional overdrive. For maximum results, wear dancing shoes and dress to kill.

Paul High Horse: Unfiltered & Unapologetic
2025-06-19 17:00 - 20:00 | Joslyn Castle & Gardens, 3902 Davenport Street, Omaha, NE, 68131, United States
Castle & Cathedral District Artist in Residence solo exhibition of paintings and prints in the Joslyn Castle Carriage House.

Over the course of his Artist Residency, Paul High Horse has worked with the staff at the Castle, planning monthly community outreach activities while creating a new body of work to be shown at the June 19th Art Walk at the Joslyn Castle Carriage House.

Paul High Horse is a member of the Sicangu (Sičháŋǧu) Lakota tribe. Son of a Lakota father and Italian mother, Paul was born in New Jersey; however, at the age of three, his parents moved to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota so Paul and his siblings could be immersed in their native culture. He lived on the reservation until he left to attend college at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Paul’s artistic philosophy incorporates a modern approach to communicate a rich historical context of the Lakota people. His art captures the symbols, traditions, and values inherent to the Lakota tribe. His work also explores different media including acrylics, archival pens, watercolor, and ledger paper. Paul currently teaches 7-12th grade art at Fort Calhoun Community School in Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.
