here's the Nakatomi Plaza elevator pitch: Imagine the most unhinged ska-punk-whatever band you can think of comprised by a group of people that are captured and forced to listen to music from every genre possible (first wave ska, nyhc, stadium crust, cumbiacore, midwest emorave, teknopunc, etc.) a la Robot Chicken meets A Clockwork Orange, you'd get Hans Gruber and the Die Hards! There's something weird and wild and fun happening in central Texas it feels like, and I for one am here for it. Slap them on a show or festival with Jeff Rosenstock, AJJ, Days n Daze, The Front Bottoms, Streetlight Manifesto, Voodoo Glow Skulls, JER, Flaming Tsunamis, Andrew WK, and get lost in their vibe. Don't miss 'em on Thursday, October 23rd at Magnanimous Brewing!!

Let's start doing some band spotlights with probably the one I'm most psyched to have on this year's pre-fest, Toys That Kill. I feel like most attendees of Fest are pretty familiar with them. They've been around since 1999 when their predecessor FYP called it a day (for the first time), started by pro-skateboarder and Recess Records head honcho Todd Congelliere, playing hyperactive punk tinged with surf and a sprankle of psych that starts and keeps the party going. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the first time they've played Florida, or at least Tampa, outside of Fest since 2012? Don't miss out on the action, Thursday October 23rd at Magnanimous Brewing!

Live set uploaded someone uploaded on my birthday earlier this year!

Today, I'd like to give a huge shout out to St Pete Community Acupuncture for being the first sponsor Tampa Bay Pre-Fest has ever had!

Many of us punks and others in the DIY/ underground community are no strangers to getting stuck and poked, but St. Pete Community Acupuncture offers to do it for its healthy benefits.

In their own words: "We've been sticking it to the man since 2009. We're a low cost, sliding scale clinic born from the punk diy ethos that the establishment will never care about us, so we need to take care of each other. Our goal is to be affordable to as many people as possible. We'll never turn anybody away for lack of funds. We work from the conceptual framework that health and disease do not exist, and cannot be understood or addressed, apart from social conditions - particularly injustice, inequality, and the pervasive influence of traumatic stress."

Check them out in person or peep their social media first:

today I'd like to shine a light on Long Island's Godseyes. This is pounding, chaotic, pi**ed off hardcore? metalcore? Maybe you've been lucky to see them before at a Locust Parade show. They remind me of bands like Meatwound, Horsewhip, Walled City, and Plague Spitter. A better person well-versed in the genre could probably do a better job of RIYL, but i'm doing my best over here. Every photo and video I've seen of them look like their sets just go OFF hard!
Catch 'em Thursday, October 24th as part of Tampa Bay Pre-Fest 8 (Night 2 at Crowbar)
