Los Angeles Post-Punk Romantics DECEITS Announce Western U.S. Tour With Past Self, 60 Juno, and Night Ritualz

    Los Angeles romantic post-punk duo DECEITS have announced a run of May and June tour dates, taking their trademark Latino gloom, bruised romance, and serrated live charge across the West Coast, Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, Southwest, and Texas.

    Formed in Los Angeles in late 2021 by longtime friends Kevin Moreno and Francisco Saenz, DECEITS first arrived like a private language dragged into the light: hearts pinned to the kick drum, teeth set against the soft lie of revivalism. Since then, the project has grown its audience without sanding down its bite, carrying songs of ache, devotion, and romantic damage from the underground to sold-out rooms, vinyl pressings that disappear quickly, and festival stages including Cruel World 2025.

    Now operating as a duo, with Moreno handling vocals and instruments and Saenz on drums and percussion, DECEITS live in that charged strip where romance gets scuffed on the pavement. Their post-punk is contemporary, Chicano, and personal without turning precious, written for crowded rooms, close faces, bodies packed near the stage, and the collision of motion, memory, and confrontation. Moreno sings as if every phrase has been weighed, swallowed, and dragged back up glowing with damage and desire.

    The tour follows a steady stretch of new music from the band. Their debut album, If There’s No Heaven…, arrived in 2023, framed by tragedy, hope, romantic ruin, and the kind of devotional post-punk that can make a dance floor feel like a wake with better lighting. Since then, DECEITS have continued widening the world around that record with Why Are We Afraid To Let Go? in 2024, All We Are (Are Memories) in July 2025, Please, Wake Up in November 2025, and their latest single One Day You’ll Hurt As Much As Me.

    For this new run of live dates, DECEITS will reunite with Past Self and 60 Juno for select dates, with Night Ritualz also joining the tour. The band will begin the trek on May 27 at Cornerstone in Berkeley, California, before cutting across the West Coast and inland through Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, Midvale, and Denver. From there, DECEITS head deep into Texas for a five-city run, then turn back west through El Paso, Albuquerque, Tucson, and Phoenix before bringing the tour home to Southern California on June 20 at the Casbah in San Diego.

    DECEITS will also appear at Darker Waves 2026 in Huntington Beach on November 14, joining a lineup that brings the duo back to a large-scale California festival setting after their Cruel World appearance.
