This Sunday, we’re excited to welcome the talented and experienced SamSonic — the Santa Carla Vampire of Cat Alley! Join us for a great time as we bid you welcome.

Introducing resident Beat Alchemists DJ and Founder, DJ SamSonic, AKA DJ SamHell (Decadent Oasis / Snarklefarkers / Beat Alchemists): a musician, DJ and producer who blends decades of underground influence with rule-breaking and genre-bending. Inspired by his roots in punk, early deathrock, goth and industrial nights at The Krypt and Zombie Zoo, he evolved from various dark bands to industrial, which led to mixing EDM. He quickly began spinning vinyl DJ sets, spanning breakbeats, deep house, and experimental soundscapes. Each set — from Santa Cruz residencies at the beautiful, world class Cat Alley Street to Burning Man and Unscruz — is a journey, taking audiences to unexpected musical landscapes.

This Easter Sunday, swap your Sunday best for your finest PVC and lace as we raise a glass (and the dead) to celebrate the birthdays of our resident DJs Shadow Angel and Valentine. Help them celebrate another year of darkness, featuring a guest appearance by DJ Hecate!
The tomb has been breached, and the stone has been cast away—not to let the light in, but to let the shadows out.

Happy Birthday DJ Shadow Angel!

Feliz Cumpleaños, Felix.
Today we celebrate your life.
You were taken from this world far too soon.

Felix always knew just what to say—whether it was a witty remark that made us laugh or comforting words when we needed them most. Felix was more than a bartender; he was a friend, a listener, a safe place, and a constant presence who made everyone feel seen and welcome.

Thank you for always looking out for us. It was incredible how you made time to check in, remembering every little detail about our lives.

Your years of service and loyalty never went unnoticed.
Rest in power.
