CYCOTIC YOUTH performed at the Santa Monica Pier during Locals Night on Thursday, May 16, 2024. The audience was energized, with many engaging in a mosh pit, an area in front of the stage where concertgoers engage in an intense style of dancing called moshing. This involves vigorous pushing and slamming into each other, typically to the aggressive sounds of punk rock and heavy metal. The term "mosh" is derived from "mash."
CYCOTIC YOUTH, founded in 1985 by brothers Jimmy and Jason Brown, integrates skateboarding, surfing, and punk elements, reflecting Southern California's unique culture. Initially prominent in the west side punk scene, the band made a comeback in 2019 after a hiatus, driven by co-founder Jason Brown. Their self-titled 2021 album received widespread acclaim. A lineup change in 2022, including new members Rico Villasenor, Axis, and drummer Matt Morales, brought a renewed musical direction. The band is set to release a new album in the summer of 2024 and continues to perform live.
Locals Night at the Santa Monica Pier is a monthly event, held every third Thursday, featuring a variety of activities and entertainment, including youth activities, a car show, local DJs, live music, art exhibits, and more. It's an excellent opportunity for the community to gather, relax, and celebrate Santa Monica in a vibrant outdoor setting.
