The Chop Tops

What a knock-down, drag-out rager our final hometown reunion weekend was. We saw friends, family, hell…even Santa was there partying! To all our sister and brother bands (The Swillbillys, Los Dryheavers, The Inciters, Astro Zombies & The Surf Creeps) that teamed up for this send-off we love you, and you did us and the crowd proud with your shredding sets. Moe’s Alley, thank you for being such an epic home for music in Santa Cruz throughout the years!

To anyone who could not get in during this sold-out weekend, enjoy this video of some of our set during the final reunion show Saturday night:

Talk about ending on a high note! Our good friends the Curls took the long trip down from Salem, OR, to our hometown to join us for our last two reunion shows at Moe's Alley, Santa Cruz. Their son Darren was on a mission to ask the love of his life, Jill, for her hand in marriage. He did so in classic style on one knee after our set...she said YES! Please join us in congratulating the newly engaged couple 💍❤️❤️
