Le Chateau, "Therapy"

Dark electronic pop band Le Chateau features Frank Green and Erik Visnyak of Hotel St. George, alongside Laura Levenhagen (Twin Ritual). For this City Heights show, the band returns to the stage for their first full headline set since 2019 (following a short performance last December at SoNo Fest). The group has been nominated for multiple San Diego Music Awards, and their sound blends dark dream pop with hip-hop beats, atmospheric guitars and synths, and folk-inspired vocals. They have a new album called Future Phantom, recorded with Mike Kamoo and Keith Milgaten, as well as a recently-released single called “Therapy.”
