Southern Culture on the Skids, Insect Surfers
Zebulon2478 Fletcher Drive, Los Angeles 90039
Southern Culture On The Skids bring their trio lineup to Zebulon, with Rick Miller on guitar and vocals, Mary Huff on bass and vocals, and Dave Hartman on drums. Insect Surfers join the bill.
Formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the band have been recording and touring since 1983. Their own description spans rockabilly, surf rock, country and R&B with a punk edge and humor; they have shared stages with Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins and Patti Smith. As Rolling Stone put it, their show is “a hell raising rock and roll party.”
Zebulon offers a unique evening where live music meets a creative café setting, housed in a former bakery with a striking bowstring-truss roof that enhances its sound. The venue features a large stage and a well-stocked bar alongside a menu of pizza, tacos, and small bites, inviting guests to enjoy both the music and casual dining. The room holds a diverse crowd drawn by its adventurous programming, from experimental music to jazz and indie rock, with performances that encourage attentive listening rather than just background noise. A welcoming patio extends the space, and the original 1930s wooden bar adds character. Shows range from ticketed to free, often with a late-night vibe that can include multiple sets or DJ sessions. This spot is a cultural anchor in Frogtown, blending local artistry with international acts in a relaxed yet focused environment.
