Local band Landroid is playing a free outdoor show Saturday night (June 13) to celebrate the debut of their new record “Constellation.” Landroid joined Cody and Jef on the Z107.7 Morning Show to preview the event. Here’s Landroid’s Cooper Gillespie:

“We are releasing our second record and it’s called Constellation. It comes out on Friday, June 12th, but we’re having a big release shindig at Art Queen on Saturday, June 13th. Art Queen, downtown Joshua Tree. The party’s from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.. DJ Tina Turntables, who is the most rad DJ. She’s going to be DJing. Paula Xanto is going to be playing. We’re going to be playing. There may be other surprises too!

“It’s totally free. We’re bringing the music to the people. And it’s part of the Art Walk event in downtown Joshua Tree.

“Yeah, and if you’ve never seen a show at Art Queen before, it’s so special. You’re outside, under the stars. There’s all these twinkling lights, all these artists, all of this art around.

And I think with all the music that’s going to be happening too, this is going to be one of those nights you don’t want to miss in the desert.”

That show is happening tonight at 5:00 p.m. at the Art Queen, located in downtown Joshua Tree, down Sun Alley and behind La Matadora.
