I spent Friday night at Release the Bats, the long-running Death Rock club in Long Beach (at Que Sera, 7th St. at Cherry Ave.) That night's band was Neon Kross, a delightfully retro New Wave / post-punk band "Still Living in the 80s", as their MySpace page puts it. I've seen some of these guys before; Daniel deLeon, the lead vocals, is also in Rezurex, a more psychobilly / deathrock kind of band that I've caught at Bats before. Some of the other band members are in Pins and Needles, which I don't think I've seen.

Anyway, Neon Kross kicked ass, and I'd recommend seeing them. Pretty damn photogenic too.
