Will Gorin’s favorite quote comes from Miles Davis’ biography: “Music is the space between the notes.”

“I approach my playing with that kind of energy, with an emphasis on filling negative space with symmetrical or asymmetrical patterns,” Gorin, drummer for Boston rock band Slothrust, wrote in a press release.

Composed of the multi-talented Leah Wellbaum and Gornin, Slothrust offers an alternative/indie rock sound that features poetic lyrics and guitar solos that are simultaneously chaotic and melodic.

Slothrust was supposed to play Tampa last month to celebrate the 11-year anniversary of its breakout album Of Course You Do, but postponed the show due to the widespread effects of the California wildfires.

The gig has since been rescheduled for this spring, with Maine indie-rock band Weakened Friends.

Tickets to see Slothrust play Crowbar in Ybor City on Sunday, April 27 are still available and start at $20. Previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date.
