The Chop Tops were a

teddy boy, and surf music genres. The Chop Tops headlined their own national tours,[1] toured with bands like Mad Sin and the Nekromantix, and opened for many bands including the Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, Dick Dale, John Lee Hooker, and Chuck Berry.[2]

Other accomplishments included having three of their songs featured in the video game WET,[3] performing at several Warped Tours, and many years of playing the annual rockabilly festival Viva Las Vegas. In April 2012, the band made their first international tour appearing at dates across Australia (they were asked back and returned for another Australian tour in June 2013).[4] The Chop Tops were sponsored by Murray's Pomade.[5] Murray's has sponsored only two bands in its 90-year history, the

Jim Dunlop, and T.U.K.
shoes.

The Chop Tops made their final appearance on April 3, 2015, at the 18th annual Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender. The band was joined by guest performers Chantilly Lace Vincent (granddaughter of Gene Vincent) and Mario Valens (Ritchie Valens' younger brother).
