The notion of genre feels antiquated in a world with virtually infinite listening options, and 9Million makes the idea of living in a box feel completely asinine.

The Toronto rock outfit from Matthew Tomasi (producer for bands like Ethel Cain and Nicole Dollanganger) plays shoegaze at its core, but moved in more experimental and electronic ways two years ago on a debut mixtape, Between Us.

Wielding a summer 2023 mixtape of ‘90s-tinged grunge (Gush, stylized in all-caps), 9Million tops this Legion bill that includes electro band Stripmallravestarr, Orlando indie-pop band Get With This, plus Tampeño indie-rock-and-pop heroes Charlie and Romeo Blu.

Tickets to see 9Million play Tampa’s American Legion Seminole Post 111 on Sunday, Nov. 10 are $15 at the door.
