Dallas: Dexter and the Moonrocks at The Bomb Factory
Dexter and the Moonrocks play The Bomb Factory in Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, at 8:00 PM, with tickets starting at $91. A Halloween night show in Deep Ellum is a fitting stage for a West Texas band whose rise has been one of the fastest in Texas music.
The band comes from Throckmorton, a small ranching town about 70 miles northeast of Abilene. Singer James Tuffs started the group in 2021 with cousins Ryan and Ty Anderson, and drummer Ryan Fox joined later that year. They call their sound “Western space grunge,” a mix of alternative rock, indie rock and Texas country, and an early viral TikTok clip of the band playing on a couch helped spread the word far beyond West Texas.
Since signing with Severance Records, an imprint of Big Loud, the band has posted a string of hits. “Sad in Carolina” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in 2024, “Ritalin” went top 10 there in 2025, and “Freakin’ Out” became their breakthrough, reaching No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and going platinum. They made their late-night TV debut on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in August 2026.

This show comes a month after the release of the band’s debut full-length album, “Friends That I Don’t Like,” on Oct. 2, 2026, which includes “Freakin’ Out,” “If You Could Talk” and “12 Steps,” a collaboration with fellow Texas band Treaty Oak Revival. The Bomb Factory is a converted industrial building in Deep Ellum that holds around 4,300 fans and is one of the city’s busiest rock rooms.
