They have short hair, wear dark-framed glasses, and are dressed in a dark grey graphic t-shirt. To the left, another band member is partially visible playing an instrument, wearing a black sleeveless shirt and jeans. The low-lit venue features a black drop ceiling with recessed lighting, green-tinted walls with posters, and a white door illuminated by a glowing red exit sign in the background.Chulismo plays American Legion Seminole Post 111 in Tampa, Florida on Feb. 21, 2026.

The Chulos—Papi, Johnny, and Jimmy—have a new album to share, and if past singles are any indication, expect Out of the Deep End to lean hard into lo-fi punk that’s a throwback to The Stooges and compatriot to newer bands like Bass Drum Of Death. Car

Bomb Driver’s Dave Reeder—one of the most entertaining frontmen in the Bay area—will do a few of his band’s songs with Chulismo after sets by synth-punk band Tiger 54 and New Port Richey melodic punk outfit The Sons of James.

Tickets for the Chulismo album release show inside The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Co. on Saturday, July 11 are still available for $11.
