Featuring the work of Jim ApRoberts. We are so excited to show Jim apRoberts at The Bunker SLO. Jim works as a visual artist on California's Central Coast. His paintings are colorful, thoughtful, emotive depictions of nature, atmospheric environments and more. He feels that the viewing experience is engaging when the paintings he creates are open ended and allow viewers to fill in meaning. Jim's paintings reflect his respect for nature, as well as his life experiences. Jim believes that "a painting has to have ideas brewing in it, just as a story needs a plot." He works with a variety of themes and often times paints in series, zigzagging back and forth from one series to another. He likes to say, "I know when a painting is complete, yet I rarely complete a series.”

AVTT/PTTN – Scott and Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton, legendary frontman of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle – unveiled their new self-titled album, out via Thirty Tigers, Ramseur Records and Ipecac Recordings. Alongside the release, the group announced a major 2026 US tour, which will make stops in Nashville, Austin, Boston, Brooklyn, and more — including the band’s festival debut at Big Ears in Knoxville, TN, on March 28, 2026. This tour will bring AVTT/PTTN to Paso Robles, CA on May 9, 2026, with a performance at Vina Robles Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 5 at 12PM via Ticketmaster. Written by the Avetts and Patton, and produced by Patton, Scott, and GRAMMY-winning engineer Dana Nielsen (Metallica, Rihanna), the album represents more than just “one of the most unexpected collaborations of this (or any) year” (Consequence) — it’s a true full-circle moment. “Mike’s part of our DNA, like the fabric of our youth,” says Scott. “Literally, we studied him. He’s a dear friend now, but when we were younger, I was imitating him.” Patton adds, “My peculiar challenge in this was to become a long distant cousin. A brother that was orphaned. Maybe they kept him in the chicken coop or some shit. They brought him out years and years later.” The album opens with the gentle acoustic guitar of “Dark Night of My Soul,” where Patton’s seasoned croon merges with the Avetts’ voices for a rich three-part harmony. Elsewhere, the scuzzy stomp of the folk classic “The Ox Driver’s Song” and the driving fuzz of “Heaven’s Breath” push the Avetts into new sonic terrain, while showcasing Patton’s trademark dynamic range. Lead single “Eternal Love” flourishes as a meditation on the universal pull of love, capturing both its enduring beauty and the weight it can carry. Each track reflects the unusual way the record was built — songs sketched by Scott, reshaped by Patton, and then reimagined again with Seth — a process that gave the music its distinct character and balance. The unanticipated trio might not quite remember how they all first came into contact, but call it serendipity that their casual exchange of admiration grew into a genuine creative partnership. As the group traded songs and ideas across coasts, AVTT/PTTN came to fruition, showcasing Scott, Seth, and Mike at their most adventurous. “This is what art is,” Scott reflects. “This is what making is supposed to be: in secret and with no ambition.” About The Avett BrothersFour-time GRAMMY Award nominees The Avett Brothers made mainstream waves with their critically acclaimed 2009 major label debut, I and Love and You. In 2012, The Carpenter hit #4 on the Billboard 200, followed by Magpie and the Dandelion in 2013, which debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200. The 2017 documentary May It Last: A Portrait of The Avett Brothers (co-directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio) chronicles the process of writing 2016’s True Sadness, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Albums, #1 on Rock Albums, #3 on the Billboard 200, and scored two Grammy nominations. The film was released theatrically and on HBO to rave reviews and is available on DVD/BluRay/VOD. In 2019, the band released their tenth studio album Closer Than Together featuring the single “High Steppin’” which reached #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. The Third Gleam came out amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, #1 Rock Albums, #1 Vinyl Albums, and the single “Victory” hit #1 on the Americana Radio Singles Chart. This year saw the release of The Avett Brothers, an album that is as much untitled as it is self-titled: a collection of songs that revealed themselves naturally over time. Swept Away - a musical inspired by & featuring the music of The Avett Brothers - recently debuted on Broadway. The Avett Brothers have been inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and have earned a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association. They are currently on tour throughout the US. About Mike PattonMike Patton is a Renaissance man in the truest sense of the word. From his time spent with genre-defying alternatives acts like Faith No More and Mr. Bungle, to his multitude of collaborations including the deconstructed-pop of Peeping Tom, the rock-centric Tomahawk, and the Italian language orchestral classics he covered with Mondo Cane. His career has also ventured in film composing for movies such as Crank: High Voltage and A Place Beyond The Pines, voice acting in I Am Legend and multiple video games, and starting his own record label, Ipecac Recordings, showing there is no limit to what Patton can do.

Panchiko is beginning to settle into rockstar life. It's different from how the UK band imagined it when they were teens, crafting ethereal, at times cosmic bits of heart-forward rock music to little outside interest, playing shows to nearly empty rooms. They set aside their hopes of becoming full-time musicians and pursued other careers. Their high school artistry became a distant memory. But that all changed in 2016 when an internet user discovered Panchiko's discarded 2000 demo CD, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, in a Nottingham charity shop and posted it to 4chan to intrigue and fanfare. It took four years for Panchiko's legions of dedicated fans to find the people behind the music, but when they did, Panchiko's long let-go-of dreams became an imperative to pursue. Millions of curious listeners were swaying to their adolescent creations; it was time for them to meet their moment. Panchiko — which reformed in 2021 with original members Andy Wright (keyboardist and producer),  Owain Davies (vocalist and guitarist), and Shaun Ferreday (bassist) alongside new members Robert Harris (guitarist) and John Schofield (drummer) — pursued their new path with vigor. Upon discovering their own virality in 2020, they toured the world and wrote, recorded, and released their first album in 20+ years, 2023's Failed At Maths. But after the thrill of the whirlwind came a new question. What comes next when your dreams come true? The answer is Ginkgo, a 13-track project that finds the band making some of their most introspective, cinematic, and moving music yet. "The whole production has gone up ten-fold," says Wright of the new album. They were finally able to quit their day jobs and dedicate themselves to music full-time, which changed their process completely. "If you have a bit of time, you can make something really great." Plus, the band got their own studio in Nottingham, which they refer to as their "teenage dream." With time and space, making Ginkgo became a very different, slower process than the creation of Failed at Maths, which they recorded while balancing their nascent music career with day jobs — alongside the stuff of life, like the birth of Wright's child. You can hear the result of this slower approach on tracks like "Chapel of Salt," where the lyrics have a gravelly wisdom. "Obsolescence, greatest lessons/ You can't afford to miss/Don't go quietly in the night see/You're too good for this," sings Davies in a steady register, before the music veers towards the stars. Here too, the music feels bigger than Panchiko's earlier work which was colored by a bedroom intimacy. The sonic and lyrical scale is grander, but maybe a bit more weary and lived-in as well. The lessons of experience were on the band's mind. After touring the world with songs they had written as teenagers, Panchiko was beginning to craft music that reflected their current, more adult reality, like on "Lifestyle Trainers," a drifty swirl of guitar plucks and synth pads that finds the band reflecting on the winding road of long term commitment. But even as Panchiko explored the particulars of middle age, the teenage versions of themselves (the versions that wrote D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L) were still floating in their minds, especially given the fact that Panchiko's fans skew younger themselves. That's clear on album standout "Shandy In The Graveyard" (featuring billy woods) which Davies shares "came from [him] reconnecting with the feeling of being the age of the audience that comes to see [them]." That youthful spirit can be felt in the song's sonic world, as its production genre shifts between trip-hop and orchestral folk. Woods's inclusion is fitting given that American artists and the experience of touring throughout the States has made an indelible impression on Ginkgo. Most of Panchiko's fans reside in the States, a place they had little connection to before their virality. "We don't normally do a lot of shows in England, because nobody likes us there," jokes Wright. "We were too ahead of the time." Seeing the expanse of a foreign country brought out new sounds and textures for the crew. It's apt then that the album opener is titled "Florida." "I was playing around with some samples in the van whilst we were driving through Florida," remembers Davies of creating the track. "Writing on the road is cool because you don't have all the toys in your toy box. You're using what you got."  That makes sense given that "Florida" is marked by a diverse set of sounds and musical leaps, a vast landscape of guitar flourishes, and almost alien sonic textures. New places, a new generation of listeners, a whole new life — the shock of their circumstances often leads Panchiko to reflect on the youth they've lost since they recorded their high school demo. "We had to delete 'My Mortgage Repayments Are Going Up,'" laughs Wright, offering a sarcastic song title. And while they decidedly did not record an album about the tedium of adult living, they did make a record that truthfully reflects their grounded station in life. That was bolstered by the fact that Panchiko made the record largely at home in Nottingham. With that, the simple promises of home are evoked in every moment of the record, and on the cover — a picture of Wright's young daughter that she took herself. "She had just turned two at that point. She ran off with my phone and our album cover was done," Wright shares. Even though they paid an artist a hefty advance to make original artwork, they decided to forgo that art for the picture. It said it all. "It's pure," adds Davies. "It's not contrived in any way." The cover is an invitation to consider the expanse of Panchiko's experience, from adolescence and teenage artistry onward. The same wrenching honesty that attracted legions of fans to their teenage demos is the same truthful ethos that keeps them listening to new material. That full-hearted ethos may be most audible on the title track, "Ginkgo." On it, Davies sings "You command the leaves to fall/The Ginkgo bends at will." A rumination on the limits of control, collaboration, and fate, the song is an apt meditation for a band whose resurgence came about through a mix of luck, artistry, and then clear-eyed energy. They couldn't "command the leaves to fall" when they were teens trudging up the improbable hill of rock star success, and they still can't. But like the Ginkgo tree itself, their roots grow deep, which makes the going all the easier.
