California reggae-rock favorite The Expendables plays St. Petersburg this weekend

Members of the Santa Cruz reggae rock outfit don’t feel like they have officially “made it” as a group yet, but have nonetheless come a long way from playing Dick Dale and The Surfaris covers at high school parties.

The Expendables’ upcoming Pleasure Point album features guest spots from Little Stranger and Ballyhoo!, and considering its staunch support of recreational marijuana, don’t be too shocked if the band performs at a get-out-and-vote concert in town next fall, should recreational ganja (finally) make the ballot.

In the meantime, fellow reggae rock groups Passafire and Seranation—the latter from Treasure Island—open this show.

Tickets to see The Expendables play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Sunday, June 11 are still available for $25.
