Joey Belladonna pays live tribute to Ronnie James Dio

The iron-lunged Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna always stood out among his thrash peers both for his impressive range and the unerring commitment to melody in his power-metal inspired vocals. Belladonna is currently out on the road solo, playing tribute sets to legendary belter Ronnie James Dio.

The much-missed Dio was a singular force in metal, with seminal stints in Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and solo [“Holy diivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!”]. The evening will see Belladonna and wife Krista leading a crack tribute band through his best-known numbers on this four-date Florida run.

Promised are “Holy Diver” and “Rainbow in the Dark” and “Neon Knights” and “Man on the Silver Mountain” and “Long,” among other anthems that would frighten parents and clergy … get those devil-horns ready.

6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, Conduit, $25.

Still Woozy comes to Orlando Amphitheater

Bedroom-pop artist Still Woozy is bringing his latest clutch of alternative psychedelic sounds to Orlando in a few days.

Still Woozy is the solo project of Portland-based singer-songwriter-producer Sven Gamsky, who’s been delivering a mix of homespun sounds since his first single, “Vacation,” in 2017.

His latest album, Loveseat, released earlier this year, falls in line with the artist’s unique brand of sonic psychedelia. Michelle opens the show.

7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 19, Orlando Amphitheater, $49-$150.

Acoustic guitar titan Leo Kottke to hold court at Orlando’s Steinmetz Hall this week

[ad_1]

Leo Kottke

A disciple of godly American Primitive guitarist John Fahey, a young Leo Kottke released his album of instrumental pieces 6- and 12-String Guitar in 1969, which became an unlikely hit and made Kottke a star. (Sales of the album also kept Fahey’s label Takoma in the black for years, likely to Fahey’s faint annoyance.)

The student maybe surpassed the master, with Kottke going on to craft 40 solo and ensemble albums over the years that have expanded kaleidoscopically on his deft and joyous merger of jazz, folk and roots sounds picked intricately on acoustic guitars.

Guitar Player mag, which loves a good shred, offered the corollary that Jimi is to the electric as Kottke is to the acoustic — and we see no lie there. The 76-year-old axeman is still alive and kicking, fingers still nimble and in rude creative form — so Steinmetz will soon ring with his cascades of notes and chords. (Might just be glorious.)

The similarly — but differently! — adventurous Julian Lage opens.

7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 18, Steinmetz Hall, $35- $65.

Charleston band Skywatching making moving and majestic music — and they’re playing Orlando this week

Skywatching play Stardust this week

While you likely haven’t yet heard of brand-new Charleston band Skywatching, you may know post-hardcore band To Forget, the group from which they recently sprung.

At any rate, definitely seize this chance to know Skywatching because they’re ones to watch with dense, dimensional rock that merges slowcore gravity with heavy sonics.

Beautiful, moving and majestic, it’s a crushing tide that’ll sweep you up into a slo-mo swoon. Orlando openers will be young indie rockers Midhouse and the always stunning post-hardcore adventurism of Gillian Carter.

7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15, Stardust Video & Coffee, $10.

Missy Elliott brings her first headlining tour to Orlandoi

R&B icon Missy Elliott will be in Orlando for her first-ever headlining tour on Tuesday at the Kia Center. Elliott’s “Out of This World: The Experience Tour” brings out all of her unforgettable earworm beats and rhymes, augmented by the support of musical friends and creative family Ciara, Busta Rhymes and Timbaland.

In 2001, Elliott made her name with the seminal album Miss E … So Addictive, featuring singles like “Get Ur Freak On” and “One Minute Man.” “Get Ur Freak On” won multiple awards, including a Grammy and ASCAP awards for Rhythm and Soul and Pop Music.

She repeated the Grammy feat in 2003 with her single “Scream a.k.a. Itchin’.” She appeared in the 2015 Super Bowl with Katy Perry, which landed her the Innovator Award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2019, and last year Elliot became the first woman rap artist to enter the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Experience this rap and pop icon with your own eyes Tuesday.

How has it taken this long for Elliott to headline an arena?? Let’s make up for lost time.

7 p.m. Tuesday, July 30, Kia Center, $35-$275.

M.A.C.E. play the Summertime Slamma Jamma in Mills 50

Summer is well and truly heating up with this weekend’s Summertime Slamma Jamma in Mills 50 — a two-day bender of music (lots of music), art, zines and vendors.

So here’s the deal: Friday and Saturday evenings, Will’s Pub, Lil Indie’s and Uncle Lou’s will play host to over 20 local and regional bands — including Trash World, Stiletto, M.A.C.E., Hijas de la Muerte, Baseline, Triangle Fire, Double Bubble, Petty Thefts and many more.

A new issue of Hawt & Popular drops and, even more notably, seminal Orlando zine Bitch Rag gets a retrospective, alongside an art opening by April Hawkins, one of the Rag’s founders. Past, present and future collide to raise some money for S.W.A.N.

“No TERFS, No Swerfs, No Jerks,” the organizers warn. Best believe.

Friday-Saturday, July 12-13, various locations, willspub.org, $20.

The Real You, Better Pace and The Synthetics take you back to a kinder, gentler indie scene this week

Gainesville’s The Real You play Orlando

Update: Rest Ashore have dropped off this show.

With all the shit-for-brains national discourse happening right now, these MAGA motherfuckers are making everyone else also want to roll the clocks back to a better, though decidedly different, time.

Well, this bill will take you to a kinder, gentler indie scene. With their combination of melodic emo heart and math angles, New York’s Rest Ashore is an indie-rock twofer straight out of the 1990s. Orlando’s Better Place and Gainesville’s The Real You also revive classic emo vibes. Although decidedly not emo, Orlando’s The Synthetics — who just released a good debut collection titled Glimpses of Heaven — go further back into the bleakly romantic post-punk of the 1980s.

Let’s make America sensitive again.

8 p.m. Wednesday, July 10, Will’s Pub, $10.

Ken Carson plays Orlando Amphitheater this week

Karl Marx once proclaimed that “religion is the opium of the masses.” Twenty-four-year old Atlanta rapper Ken Carson, meanwhile, is bringing his Opium record label roster to the masses in the form of his “A Great Chaos” tour.

The “Fighting My Demons” rapper, whose relationship with Orlando includes being arrested outside the Grand Bohemian Hotel in 2021 and performing with fellow Opium artist Destroy Lonely in 2022, is kicking off his tour at the Orlando Amphitheater on Monday.

Fans still waiting on Playboi Carti’s MUSIC album and disappointed in their scrapped “Antagonist” tour will certainly vamp together like it’s prime Project X time all over again.

7 p.m. Monday, July 8, Orlando Amphitheater, $49.50.

Midnight Vice play Day of the Ghouls in Orlando

Wonderfully pulpy and grisly Orlando-based metal-horror fanzine Ghouls and Metal has been going strong for about a year now, a ghastly hybrid of Famous Monsters and Metal Maniacs, covering the culty and creepy in both the music and cinematic worlds. Now the vile minds behind the mag are trying their hands at the gig-curating game. And excess is best with the “Day of Ghouls” metal showcase.

Featuring Powerhouse, Midnight Vice, Collapsor, High Pressure, Toxic Intent, Social Division and Warsteel all taking over the S.P.O.T. on Colonial, this is a potent — and hearing-loss worthy — showcase of new Florida metal.

8 p.m. Friday, July 5, The S.P.O.T., $15.

Orlando’s Bodybox headline a night of prime ‘trailer-park metal’ at the Social

[ad_1]

Bodybox play hometown show this weekend

For those who like their headbanging scattered, smothered and covered, here’s a heaping sampler of trailer-park metal. That’s not me being condescending — just ask Orlando headliner Bodybox, whose frenzied, drug-obsessed death metal comes in titles like “Doublewide Stomp,” “Angeldust” and “Resin Scraper.”

As for Virginia’s Restrictor Plate, well, let’s see: They’re a death-grind band named after a racecar part and their music is self-described as “NASCORE.” In the event those clues were too subtle for you, songs like “Slamtona” and “Earnhardt Stomp”should complete the picture.

Finally, Florida’s Chain Gang specialize in the kind of tough-guy beatdown sound that’s custom-built for cage fighters to enter the ring. Oh yes, maximum ass will be kicked.

6 p.m. Saturday, July 6, The Social, $15.

A.C.E. are out of the army and on their way to Orlando

The five-member Korean boy-band A.C.E. are back and coming to Orlando this Friday for their Rewind US tour.

Fresh from two years of mandatory military service in South Korea, the band is traveling to 14 cities across North America. (In true Elvis Presley fashion, the band dropped everything to serve in the country’s armed forces, but have regained momentum with ease.)

The reconvened A.C.E. in quick succession has dropped new mini-album My Girl: My Choice and the single “Supernatural”; My Girl: My Choice boasts a blend of English and Korean love songs with slight jazzy elements meshing with their signature pop flair. A.C.E promises to play fan favorites like “Savage,” “Under Cover,” “Goblin (Favorite Boys)” and more. And that’s an order.

6 p.m. Friday, July 5, Plaza Live, $69.50-$300.

Learn the strange story of Tampa’s Hepatitis Youth with documentary screening Wednesday at Stardust Video

[ad_1]

Another successful Hepatitis Youth show, gents!

There are few more dedicated boosters, archivists and chroniclers of the unhinged and overlooked far reaches of the Central Florida underground than Todd Lynne. Now known best as cryptic solo dream-pop phantom Haves&Thirds, Lynne has a long musical life dating back to his teens — and one of his most infamous outlets was skronk-rampagers Hepatitis Youth.

Lynne had been piecing together a documentary on the band, with the iconic title Just Say ‘No’ to No Wave, for several years now. This early-2000s noise-rock unit were infamous for both their uncompromising sonics and tendency to rip a set in unconventional spaces (including a hapless mall food court). They got a lot of their adventures on VHS and now you get to see it all. Also on the menu are a few other deep-Central Florida short films and a performance from Skeleton Warrior-adjacent (more vintage Central Floridian strangeness!) experimental duo Malverde.

7 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, Stardust Video and Coffee, $5-$10.
