Smoke Chaser + Lance Richards Band live at The Crepe Place
Smoke Chaser is an all-original, five-piece indie rock band out of Santa Cruz, California. NPR called their debut 2023 album, Alazapul, “a 10-song fever dream of wildly catchy California indie rock.” Led by producer and guitarist Jon Spivak, Smoke Chaser features renowned Monterey singer Malinda DeRouen (Beach Blanket Babylon), Ryan Masters (The Suborbitals), and the multimedia rhythm section that is Eric Satzman and James Frederickson.
