It was a wild and weird beach party on Aug. 17 at Last Exit Live in central Phoenix.

Popular local indie rock band Chrome Rhino headlined a beach-party-themed show that also included The Woodworks and Tucson’s Birds and Arrows.

The packed house rocked out for hours and were treated to some surprises in the form of a battle between a lobster and a shark, pool toys and more.

Here’s a look at some of the fun.
