Only purchase tickets from moesalley.com or ticketweb.com ==== MESSER CHUPS While Messer Chups’ mostly instrumental sound is hard to neatly categorize, it’s safe to say that it would be embraced by fans of rockabilly, horror punk, vintage surf records, Italian slasher films, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Pulp Fiction, lounge music, the theremin, The Cramps, and the theme song from The Munsters. Their catchy music combines surf, vintage Russian melodies, rare film samples from the 50s and 60s, scratchy historical recordings, and lounge loops. Live, they explode with garage-punk intensity, all played against a video-collage backdrop of mid-century trashy cult and horror movie clips featuring Russ Meyer and Ed Wood, and superstars like Vampira and Bela Lugosi in a zombie mash-up. DEAD KAMPERS Dead Kampers is a Santa Cruz-based band blending twangy, Dick Dale- style guitar riffs with rockabilly swagger. Assaulting the West Coast with their rowdy, reverb drenched cowpunk.
