A celebration of fabulist fiction. Our namesake is the asteroid that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs. We choose several pieces per issue to produce with a soundtrack in the spirit of our synthesizer-scored live shows.

Club Chicxulub’s namesake is the Chicxulub Impactor, the asteroid that plummeted to Earth 66 million years ago, ending the reign of non-avian dinosaurs and the Cretaceous era. 

We teeter on the threshold of another mass extinction driven by human-induced climate change. Club Chicxulub is a space to lament, to rage, to witness—and dare we try to spread some hope?—by way of dark and weird fiction and music. This is catharsis, dirge and celebration, submission, and defiance.
