Monsterboy LIVES is a husband-and-wife indie rock duo from Little Rock, Arkansas, made up of multi-instrumentalists Chris Long and Veronica Wirges. Known for their full-production two-person live shows featuring a 1923 five-foot Conn bass saxophone named Sweet Connie, they blend indie rock, blues, alternative, and unusual instrumentation with synchronized visuals.

Monsterboy LIVES is Chris and Veronica.
Husband and wife. Songwriters. Producers. Multi-instrumentalists. Lifelong partners in crime. They make music that refuses to pick a lane - and neither do they. A vintage bass saxophone can sit beside a banjo. Beats crafted from field recording can thump under a 1930s accordion. A classical instrument might share the room with something one of them dragged in because they thought, “We could probably make a song with that.” What emerges is the sound of two people following the song wherever it wants to go, rules be damned. |

It sounds bigger than two people. Because it is.
Monsterboy LIVES is a full production built around two people — the music, the sound, the visuals, the instruments. Everything is designed to take you somewhere. Maybe it’s a memory. Maybe it’s a dream. Maybe it’s a feeling you’ve never quite had the words for. Maybe it’s just somewhere you didn’t expect to end up on a Tuesday night. |

One band. Several ways to experience it.
Monsterboy LIVES isn’t limited to one kind of show.
The core live set is a full-production indie-rock experience.
Around that, they’re building specialized performances that lean into horror, unusual instrumentation, immersive visuals, holidays, storytelling, and specific themes.
Some nights lean strange.
Some lean beautiful.
Some lean deeply weird.
All of them are very, very Monsterboy LIVES.
