The Catalyst

Santa Cruz

This Santa Cruz institution has hosted everyone from Snoop Dogg to Tame Impala across two distinct rooms: an intimate Atrium up front and a larger main room with balcony views. Old wooden floors, zero pretension, and a crowd that actually came to hear the music.

This historic Santa Cruz spot delivers that rare magic: close enough to catch the sweat, loose enough that nobody sweats the small stuff. Catch rising acts before they outgrow the room.

Hunx and His Punx

June 12

Hunx and His Punx bring their sloppy, glitter-drenched garage punk to Santa Cruz for a night of camp chaos and catchy hooks. Expect tight leather, tighter songs, and zero pretension at this intimate atrium show.

Monolord brings crushing Swedish doom while Mizmor drags you through atmospheric sludge in the best way. The Catalyst's intimate rooms and historic character make this the perfect spot to get properly obliterated by sound.
