Randy Moore Brings Bones Shredder to Art Boutiki

There aren’t many times a local writer can start a story with, “It all began with Rivers Cuomo from Weezer,” but this is one of them. That’s because new debut album Morbid Little Thing by Bones Shredder—the alias for local musician Randy Moore—wouldn’t have existed if Moore had never met the Weezer frontman in April 2024.

“Getting to meet him—and the same with Matt Skiba [Alkaline Trio]—and ‘see how the sausage is made’ humanizes them,” Moore explains.

“These people that I look up to but only see what is put out to the public makes you realize ‘Oh, everybody does this process like me.’ It makes it more palatable and less overwhelming when trying to create your own art.”

The result is a 10-song, 26-minute horror pop punk album that Moore will celebrate on Sunday, Oct. 3 at Art Boutiki in
