That's a good one! I been going through a couple Messer Chups YouTube's/day and somehow haven't managed to find that one yet.
They just announced their first US booking for this year on Facebook, August 8th in Southern California at the Surf Guitar 101 Convention 2020. I'm sure there'll be more closer to home. I keep watching!

We just found that on the web, but thus far they haven't chosen a venue.
I'm guessing somewhere like Santa Cruz. Probably too far to drive for a one-night gig.
Crossing my fingers and hoping their agent booked them somewhere farther north. They were in Portland at Dante's October 23rd:
No idea who's making their videos for their "backdrop", but the guy certainly has good taste in 1950s and early 1960s "B" horror sci-fi stuff. I think that screaming sequence by Beverly Garland from "Alligator People" is arguably one of the best horror screams in cinema history. And how can you not appreciate the highlights from "Horror of Spider Island"?
(* Note "The Destroyers" painted on the face of the kick drum. Gitarkin and Zombierella are also (sometimes) part of other crews, notably "Bonecollectors". Seems like they rotate drummers, all of whom have been right on top of it. *)

I found last years tour flyer deeper on their Facebook page. Looks like they usually do a big US tour in October. Makes sense, do the surf stuff in summer and then roll into the Halloween vibe in December. They played El Corazon downtown last year. I can see my future will have an October trip downtown or to Portland. 
Seen the Dante's vid. My favorite concert footage of them is the Festival Yeah vid as it was shot better than just some person with an iPhone in the crowd. Full set with multiple cameras and good sound. Though they never seem to get her voice mixed right. I get it though, most of their sound is instrumental.

Don't know how I missed that one! Excellent audio.
I think you're right - they may well be up here in the fall. Looking forward to it.
I think that Danelectro suits her better than the blue Precision bass. Just my lousy opinion.

No idea why, but I felt I just had to have a little Richard Widmark this morning.
Widmark started his career in Hollywood as a bad guy, and he was really really good at it.
So good, in fact, he makes Karl Malden in "One Eyed Jacks" look like Santa Claus. Here he is in his debut performance, showing us just how truly evil he could be:
* WARNING! MORE SENSITIVE VIEWERS SHOULD NOT WATCH THIS CLIP! WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY'S SENSITIVITIES TO BE OFFENDED!
Ooooo that just sends shivers up my spine! It's the stuff nightmares are made of!
Now I could have gone for some real cornball stuff, like that complete waste of Sidney Poitier's talent in "The Long Ships" (a complete fiasco filmed in Yugoslavia, of all places, even though on any other day I'd watch a dogfight if Frank Thring were in it), but I chose to go with something offering a wider variety of talent. Here's Widmark with Henry Fonda, Anthony Quinn, Dorothy Malone, DeForest Kelly, Frank Gorshin, Vaughn Taylor, and an uncredited Gary Lockwood in the 1959 box office flop "Warlock":

HaHaHa!
Bet you were thinkin' that was it, huh?
Sorry.... there's just no such thing as too much Zombierella!
Here they are, LIVE at Zoccolo in St. Petersburg - November 3, 2011
Enjoy the SHOW!
