Intergalactic surf rock act The Gutter Queens is ensuring that every willing participant can have a very retro and ribald Christmas this year at the Monterey Club. Led by guitarist-vocalist Ryan Black, the Coconut Creek natives (currently students at USF in Tampa) do a mean rendition of Dick Dale’s “Misirlou” dubbed “Gutterlou.” Expect Black, drummer Ryan Kaufman, and a rotating cast of bassists to have a spooky theremin device named Groucho Marx onstage too. Plus, judging by what we gathered in a brief interview, these guys plan onstage makeout sessions with dudes and all kinds of other random debauchery. The setlist, though, will include brand-new songs in addition to material from the band’s untitled EP and recently released full-length Espacio Desnudo, which translates to “naked space.” So who knows what might unwrap Saturday night?
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
