Southern Culture on The Skids, Thee Allyrgic Reaction
Alex's Bar2913 E Anaheim St, Los Angeles 90804
Southern Culture on the Skids returns to Alex’s Bar in Long Beach, joined by special guests Thee Allyrgic Reaction. The bill brings the two acts together for a 21+ night at the East Anaheim Street bar, whose corner stage and open floor are built for amplified bands rather than a seated concert presentation. Southern Culture on the Skids is the headlining act on the listing, with Thee Allyrgic Reaction appearing as the featured guests.
Thee Allyrgic Reaction come from San Diego, described by the San Diego Reader as “Vox powered 60s punk” with “lots of fuzz and Farfisa.” Their lineup is Roddy Reaction on guitar, Capn Fuzz on bass, Dan Elextro on drums and Richard Whig on organ. Rogue Records places the group among longtime garage-scene players with connections to the Loons, the Woggles, and Graham Day & The Gaolers, and hears their mix of “fuzz, Farfisa and jangle” as “distinctly their own.” Their 2025 debut LP followed earlier releases that iyezine called “pure garage punk”; Afternoiz described a later EP as “four explosions of raw, psychedelic garage rock.”
Alex’s Bar pairs its punk-rock identity with a striking, blood-red interior and velvet paintings of Elvis and Mexican wrestlers; it also appeared as Fangtasia in True Blood. The room is a Long Beach bar and live-music venue, with the stage set into a corner and a spacious floor for shows. Expect amplified bands alongside the bar’s regular social life, rather than a concert room focused solely on quiet listening. The venue’s FAQ describes its commitment to an inclusive, accessible environment, and its site lists food pop-ups on a calendar, so food availability depends on the event. Show details and ticket arrangements can vary; check the listing for the performance you have found. Alex’s Bar is still operating at its longstanding East Anaheim Street address in Long Beach.
