Freak Slug Tickets

The name Freak Slug encapsulates Xenya Genovese’s artistic world perversely and perfectly. Picking through the curious mix of sounds and feelings, from nostalgic, 90s-influenced and dreamy as well as eccentric and experimental, lives Freak Slug. Hugely influenced by cult heroes including Ride and Mazzy Star, her work is all about hitting a mood.

Where debut EP Videos and its viral hit “Radio”, and follow-up EPs I’m In Love and Viva La Vulva might have introduced listeners to her “more summery, happy, LA sound”, on her debut album I Blow Out Big Candles, Freak Slug dreamt big. Playful, fun, but not shying away from the darker sides of both sound and psyche, her singular purview built off fine arts training, unconventional self-taught musicianship and the school of life fuels her creative output. A must-see for fans of cult indie, femme punk, and everything in between.

Freak Slug has carved out a lane that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable. Whether she’s casting love spells over slinking basslines, unpacking emotional messiness with a sly grin, or comparing exes to disappointing desserts, she does it all with unfiltered honesty and theatrical flair.
