Moe's Alley

We had the honor of playing with our Russian comrades Messer Chups at Moe’s Alley on October 15. We love playing Moe’s for its banging sound system and cool vibes all around, but this was an extra special occasion, opening for Messer Chups. DJ Archive 65 filled in the gaps between the bands, dropping psychobilly, horror punk, and goth-surf tunes.

Messer Chups

Messer Chups put on a fierce set, busting out their classics as well as some brand new material, mesmerizing the crowd. After the show, we all hustled merch (our Shop page is coming soon!) and shot the shit before wishing them luck on the rest of their tour.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share the stage with our favorite musicians and one of the world’s great surf bands. Thanks, Moe’s and Messer Chups.
