A western grunge night at The Senate with Dexter and The Moonrocks, supported by Liam St. John and Cigarettes at Sunset, delivered plenty of strings, unique stage props, and a surprise Britney Spears moment. Some fans came expecting a laid-back Thursday of space grunge, while others were well-prepared—cheering on “Cheez-Its” as the band took the stage, setting the tone for the night.
Cigarettes at Sunset opened with warm fiddle solos and indie Appalachian undertones, easing the crowd into the evening. Liam St. John followed, bringing upright bass, bluesy swagger, and an Americana spin on Spears’ “Toxic.” By the time Dexter and The Moonrocks hit the stage, the night had blended western guitar that cuts to the soul with an indie edge that’s hard to find anywhere else.
