Head Hunters Long Beach isn’t just another smoke shop. It’s a sanctuary built by someone who’s lived the culture.
The owner, a former member of Dystopia — the legendary Orange County sludge metal/crust punk band — brings decades of underground authenticity to every aspect of this space.
From 1991 to 2008, Dystopia carved out a reputation for raw, uncompromising music that spoke to the alienated and the angry. That same misanthropic vision and attention to quality now drives Head Hunters: curating only the finest glass, premium cannabis, and essential accessories for those who demand more than the mainstream offers.
“We built this place for the community — the same community that came to the shows, bought the records, and kept the scene alive. This is our way of giving back.“
Born from the underground music scene, we stay true to our roots and never compromise on quality.
We’re here for our people — the ones who kept the scene alive and continue to support local culture.
Every product is hand-selected. We only carry what we’d use ourselves — no exceptions.
This isn’t just business — it’s our life. We pour the same energy into this shop as we did into the music.
The band that would define Orange County’s sludge metal scene comes together. Years of touring, recording, and building a devoted following begin.
After 17 years, Dystopia plays their final shows. But the underground spirit doesn’t die — it transforms.
The vision becomes reality. Head Hunters Long Beach opens its doors, bringing the same uncompromising quality to a new scene.
A decade later, we’re still here — still underground, still authentic, and still serving the community that made us who we are.
Our staff isn’t just knowledgeable — they’re part of the community. Stop by and you’ll meet people who genuinely care about what they do.
