Dexter and The Moonrocks bring their unique Western Space Grunge to the House of Blues with Girl Tones
The House of Blues was packed for a night that felt carefully aligned in both sound and style, as fans gathered with clear excitement to see Dexter and The Moonrocks alongside Girl Tones.From cowboy boots and hats to fully alternative and grunge looks, the crowd reflected the blend of genres that defined the evening and prepared them for the Donkey Flats Tour. There was a shared sense of anticipation in the room, with everyone ready to experience a show that promised high energy and amazing music from start to finish.
Girl Tones opened the night and immediately made their presence felt. Their stage presence was commanding, with constant movement and dancing while playing across the stage, all while maintaining strong interaction with the crowd.

Dexter and The Moonrocks followed and delivered a performance that fully lived up to the anticipation. The crowd went on to instantly cheer, dance and through some organization even, crowd surfing and mosh pits broke out throughout the set. The band played a wide range of material, including fan favorites, unreleased songs and a cover of Green Day’s Basket Case. Songs like Messed Up Kid, Ritalin, Couch, She Likes Girls, Serotonin and Bleach received some of the loudest reactions of the night.
