    Sexyy Red brings her candidacy to Orlando

    In just a few short months, Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be canvassing the country looking for votes — and rapper Sexyy Red will be too, as she takes her “Sexyy Red 4 President” tour to arenas all around the U.S.

    The tour kicks off in late August in Seattle, with two Florida dates (in Tampa and Orlando) set for the latter part of the tour. Hunxho, Loe Shimmy, BlakeIANA and a promised special guest will be touring support throughout the trek.

    The Sexyy Red 4 President Tour spins off the St. Louis rapper’s recent In Sexyy We Trust mixtape, keeping everything thematically airtight.

    Sexyy Red plays Addition Financial Arena on Sept. 26. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28, through Ticketmaster.

    Blink-182 play Orlando this week

    Pop-punk icons Blink-182 and emo band Pierce the Veil may very well make fans want to “take off their pants and jacket,” and who would blame them with this hot lineup?

    After co-vocalist and guitarist Tom DeLonge rejoined in Blink-182 in 2022 — after a seven-year absence — the band released a track, “Edging,” to mark the occasion. This tour serves as further notice of the trio being back together, revisiting hits like “I Miss You” and “All The Small Things” and even releasing new music — like recent album One More Time.

    With openers jxdn and Pierce the Veil, the audience is sure to have nostalgic flashbacks of, say, skating around the neighborhood listening to Collide With the Sky … or other emo anthems to soothe the bruises from falling off said board.

    7 p.m. Thursday, June 20, Kia Center, $130.

    DIIV play Orlando this summer

    DIIV’s North American headlining tour pedals into Orlando this summer.

    Last autumn, the Brooklyn indie-shoegazers opened for Depeche Mode at the Kia Center, but this time DIIV take the stage in a more intimate venue.

    After a five-year wait for a new album, DIIV’s Frog in Boiling Water delivers the goods with lush reverb, melancholic dream-pop vocals and somber melodies all making for a shoegazer’s paradise.

    With touring openers Horse Jumper of Love and Dutch Interior, the North American leg of the tour kicks off in a few days. There are only three Florida dates: Orlando, Tampa and Miami.

    DIIV plays Orlando’s House of Blues on Saturday, July 20. Tickets start at $44.50 and can be purchased through Live Nation.

    Hello, we’ve got to let you know that Lionel Richie plays Orlando’s Kia Center this week

    [ad_1]

    This night is about this Lionel Richie’s music, not his cologne

    Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire are out on yet another leg of their popular “Sing a Song All Night Long” tour, and they’re headed to Orlando this week.

    The co-headliners are out on the road together until mid-June, and the only other chance to see them in Florida was Jacksonville (booo!) a couple of days ago.

    We peeped a recent setlist on Uproxx and Richie is going heavy on the hits, playing everything from “Say You Say Me” to “All Night Long” and from a solo “We Are the World” to the Commodores’ “Easy.”

    Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire play the Kia Center on Friday, May 31. Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster.

    Superbitch and Warm Frames kick off tour this weekend

    Though they’re fairly new faces, Superbitch are easily one of the best things going
    in the Central Florida underground. The Tampa band deals in damaged, skronky art- punk excellence with unhinged live shows to match.

    Superbitch come to Orlando this week as part of an East Coast tour with Warm Frames (Saturday, June 1, Uncle Lou’s, $10) and we checked in with lead screamer Talo about the tour and their copious Orlando connections. You, meanwhile, should check out Superbitch’s latest release, P.ee Tape.


    You’re heading out on a big tour. How do you prepare?
    Touring is my favorite way to travel! Being with friends, seeing new places, experiencing great music. I think every- one should be in a band and tour. I never really prepare. The day usually sneaks up on you. All of the sudden it’s time to leave and get in the van. I usually pack the day before or day of and go. It’s great.

    The tour will be with Orlando’s Warm Frames, who you’ve played many shows with …
    Warm Frames and us became homies over Instagram, I believe. We mutually loved each other’s bands. Then they came out to our show at Banana Records in St. Pete and we chatted all night and naturally became friends. We’ve been playing shows together and supporting one another ever since. Can’t keep them away. Kidding! Love those gremlins.

    Superbitch just did some recording in Orlando at Radio Information Services? Recording with John [Rousseau, RIS] is always an unpredictable adventure in
    the best way possible. We actually just got done recording our split with Warm Frames. We did that with John. It was so much fun being stuck in a room recording with all those goobers. Lots of giggles and cigarettes. John’s great at targeting the exact sound you’re trying to get across.

    Tell us about P.ee Tape.
    “It’s a voice memo recording of one of our practices at a parking garage. I love it. My favorite way to record lately is just super lo-fi, in a parking garage, Tascam or voice memo. I’m a whore for trash sounds .”

  • The Psychedelic Furs return to Orlando’s Hard Rock Live to signal the end of the summer

    The Psychedelic Furs return to Orlando’s Hard Rock Live to signal the end of the summer

    [ad_1]

    click to enlarge

    The Psychedelic Furs have announced a weekend of Florida shows at the tail end of the summer — do these look like fun-in-the-sun gents to you? — and Orlando is one of those two stops.

    The new wave and post-punk survivors return to an Orlando stage less than a year after their last engagement. The band will also play Tampa Bay the following night.

    Live, the Furs run through all the classics — including “Heartbreak Beat,” “Pretty in Pink” and “Love My Way” — while also airing material from well-regarded 2020 comeback album Made of Rain. Opening the night — and along for the ride — are the Black Lips.

    “When we got back together, we realized we still liked the songs we had written and liked playing together, and the audience haven’t forgotten us,” bassist Tim Butler told Scenestr earlier this year. “Every time we tour we get a larger audience, which ranges from people who bring their kids down, so it gets from [age] 15 or 16 up to, you know, 60 or 70. It’s a real broad span of audience ages, which is good.”

    The Psychedelic Furs play the Hard Rock Live on Saturday, Aug. 31. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 31, through Ticketmaster.

    Melanie Martinez plays the Kia Center in Orlando

    While Melanie Martinez’s whims and presentation sometimes make me burst into laughter, you gotta give big credit to anyone trying to tilt the pop landscape to the left. The fact that Martinez is both mainstream-huge and fucking weird as shit makes her a special kind of cool. Her sound is modern and accessible, but everything behind it is arty to the point of absurdity.

    This bill is loaded with opening acts worth seeing on their own. With a melodic instinct that rivals Alvvays, Chicago’s Beach Bunny are seriously one of today’s best indie-rock bands. Rounding out the lineup are buzzing Montreal indie-pop band Men I Trust and new L.A. alt-pop artist Sofia Isella.

    6 p.m. Wednesday, May 29, Kia Center, $75-$125.

    Pamela Z speaks in Orlando at Timucua Arts Foundation

    Have we got a holiday activity for you!

    Composer and multimedia artist Pamela Z was originally supposed to come to Central Florida in 2022 for a Master Artist residency at New Smyrna’s Atlantic Center for the Arts. But like so many things that were supposed to happen during the years 2020-2022, plans changed. Last week, however, she started her residency at the Atlantic Center and she will be here through the end of the month.

    It’s a big deal. Pamela Z works at the intersection of sound and vision, melding her voice with electronics and processed visuals. She has been creatively active since the mid-1980s, with a résumé that includes performances all over the world, collaborations with the likes of Kronos Quartet and the Bang on a Can All Stars, numerous installations exhibited at galleries and a wealth of scores for film and dance.

    There is an outreach component to each ACA residency, so Timucua Arts hosts her Monday evening for a presentation and multimedia performance of past and current works dubbed “Happy Accidents and Blurred Lines.” Come bask in her genius.

    7:30 p.m. Monday, May 27, Timucua Arts Foundation, free.

    Lords of Acid come to the Abbey this week

    MAGA comes to the Abbey! And we’re hyped! Wait, come back, we’re referring to the  Lords of Acid bringing their “Make Acid Great Again” tour to Orlando. And the audience for this show in all likelihood will be a study in contrasts to a rally from that loser.

    The Belgian dancefloor sleazoids deal in a filthy, sweaty industrial-techno collision custom-made for excess, stimulation and disco-ball scrying. The band broke out of the industrial underground in the late 1980s with seminal singles “I Sit on Acid” and “Pussy” along with ridiculously seminal and OTT libertine soundtrack Lust (recently reissued, for research purposes) before making it into the overground with their soundtrack to Mortal Kombat (they made it werk).

    Founding members Praga Khan and Oliver Adams will be joined by new vocalist Gigi Ricci to bring these sounds to North America for the first time in over five years. There are going to be a lot of babysitters making bank this week.

    7 p.m. Wednesday, May 8, The Abbey.

    THe New Eagles flock to Stardust Video this week

    Has hell frozen over yet again? This might not be The Eagles most of the world is familiar with, but this particular flock of musicians gathering up is nearly as surprising.

    The New Eagles might be “new” but the band is full of very familiar local faces from TV Dinner, Jr. Meowzer, Flashlights, Clairmel, The Pauses, Bombshell, Don’s Ex-Girlfriend, Ash County Sluggers, Watch Me Disappear, Crit, Polar, Commonplace and more.

    The musicians will be kicking up their heels and covering a bag full of 1980s and ’90s punk, alternative and art rock including numbers by Lemonheads, Pixies, Jawbreaker andThe Clash.

    The New Eagles play Stardust Video and Coffee on Thursday, April 25. The band play two sets, at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The show is free.

    Tiger Beat unveil their new tape during a release show at Stardust

    The tale of Orlando dreamcore band Tiger Beat is, like with all rock bands worth their salt, one of triumph and struggle and heartbeats and heartbreaks and ecstatic highs and the lowest of loss-filled lows.

    But here we are, on the occasion of Tiger Bear’s album release show, an album soon out on cassette — perhaps the most appropriate physical format, if it’s not going to be out in the world as a 7-inch box set on Norton Records — on North Florida’s Bellicose, a great label that’s released some of Florida’s finest, including Black Caligula and Coffee Stain.

    The sound of Tiger Beat is joyous, direct release, the focus squarely on the ecstasy of expression rather than getting in your (tasty) licks. Live, the focus is obviously on frontperson John Rousseau (also of Mother Juno) but this is very much a (capital B) Band with members drawn from Warm Frames and Leatherette and anyone willing to pick up an instrument.

    Live, we can’t think of any other bands in recent memory who summon both the just-this-side-of-dangerous sneer of Velvet Underground with the naive openheartedness and desire to connect of a Half Japanese.

    Sourdrops, Vestis, Eyelash and Uber Crunch open. Is this a scene? Consult your Magic C86.

    8 p.m. Tuesday, April 30, Stardust Video and Coffee.

    Bang Yongguk at Plaza Live

    Orlando, we did Bang Yongguk dirty. How was this show (Friday, April 12, Plaza Live) not a packed-to-the-rafters sellout?

    That being said, I can’t complain when I remember those familiar butterflies that came back like I was 14 again, ready to see my bias (note: That’s K-pop slang to signify your absolute favorite) in my city after all this time.

    For you see, Bang Yongguk, from 2012 to 2016, was the leader of South Korean K-pop maestros BAP (as in, they are “Best Absolute Perfect”). BAP were well-known for having sensitive tough-guy concepts: choreography often including punching the air and doing push-ups, members were clad in spiky leather jackets and Misfits T-shirts, all of it was belied by heart-wrenching vocal solos. Punk attitude with dramatic execution.

    Yongguk appeared ascetic and quiet during these years.

    Bang Yongguk at Plaza Live

    Seeing Yongguk on stage in 2024, I felt proud to be a longtime fan; his stoicism never went away, but his shoulders seemed more relaxed, and he smiled between each song to remind us he was happy to be there. (Is this his David Sylvian post-Japan era?)

    “This is my first time in Orlando, and I love you guys,” he said.

    Everything he uttered was met with uproarious barks from the crowd, woofs abounded — meant likely to remind Yongguk that the fans would uplift him no matter what.

    He is one of those stars with an intriguingly wholesome connection with his fans, saying he wants to do everything he can to encourage them to follow their dreams.

    The audience at Bang Yongguk’s show at Plaza Live

    He performed songs from all three of his solo albums released after BAP’s breakup. (Though he has assured fans BAP will be together forever and always.)

    He even worked in a deep-cut song from 2011 he recorded with fellow idol Yang Yoseob from the band B2ST: a power ballad with emotive rapping called “I Remember.”

    The acclaimed cult track had the crowd beyond hyped, and the somewhat less-than-full hall was redeemed as a spacious dance floor we had to jam and break.

    Charli XCX comes to Orlando in October

    Charli XCX and Troye Sivan have announced a special co-headlining arena tour set for this autumn, and the duo will be coming to Orlando.

    The aptly named Sweat Tour kicks off in Detroit in mid-September, before reaching Orlando in early October near the midpoint of this trek. The only other Florida show is in Miami, also in early October.

    Charli XCX will undertake these dates in between her longer headlining tour behind newest album Brat, while Sivan will be showing off songs from Something to Give Each Other. The twosome have previously collaborated on singles “1999” and “2099.” XCX and Sivan intend for the tour to be a “testament to their commitment to inclusivity and diversity within the music industry.”

    Charli XCX and Troye Sivan play the Addition Financial Arena on Sunday, Oct. 6. Ticketing information is TBA as of this writing. Shygirl is the touring opener.

    Jefrey Lewis and the Voltage play Orlando Wednesay

    The Space Station is back in the concert business for a night! And what a concert — a rare Florida sojourn from antifolk maestro and comic artist Jeffrey Lewis. Expect a top-shelf evening of off-kilter, frantic and affecting songcraft, plus improvisatory storytelling that is leagues beyond most artists’ stage banter.

    Except for Jonathan Richman, few do leftfield surrealist singer-songwriter wonderment as well as Lewis. (Also it’s utterly wild to think that Lewis has been at this DIY grind for around two decades.)

    Opening are Grasping Straws, Mitar and Heady Alien.

    Come out to support the venue if nothing else, because they may have to relocate from their current environs due to the high-speed gentrification of the “Packing District.”

    8 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, The Space Station.
