Brainstory comes to Alex’s Bar for the release party for Shoebox Days, their new record. The group performs as a trio, with Koreatown Oddity appearing as a special guest and DJ Wyldeflower also on the bill. It is a 21+ night at the Long Beach bar and live-music room, built around the band’s new release rather than a standard standalone date.
Brainstory formed in the early 2010s. Their sound grows from the gospel church hymns and vintage jazz records that soundtracked the members’ childhoods, and their 2019 debut, Buck, was described as psychedelic-tinged and Motown-influenced. That combination gives the release celebration a useful frame: a band drawing on soul-rooted musical memories while presenting a new chapter with Shoebox Days.
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.
