Like a lot of bands, local and otherwise, Tampa Bay’s Malaya took a break in 2020 before getting back onstage this February. Self-described as a high energy female-fronted alt rock band—think Paramore or Evanescence—vocalist Robin Carbonell and guitarist Adam Irizarry started the band as a duo way back in 2012 and added both drummer José Reyes and Josué Rodríguez on rhythm and backup vocals during their break from playing live.
This show is free to attend.
Malaya/Heavyheavy. Friday, July 2, 8 p.m. Free. Hooch and Hive, Tampa. brokenmoldentertainment.com
