Lots happening on this night before Valentine's Day. Take a look at the breakdown of highlights for this Sat., Feb. 13 below.

Must Be The Holy Ghost with PLEASURES, Florida Night Heat A triple billing of highly stimulating musical experimentation hits The Hub on this Saturday night. North Carolina-brewed Must Be The Holy Ghost is the project of musician Jared Draughon with visual artist Evan Hawkins; the former produces psychedelic electro rock, wailing vocals over drum loops, layering intricate guitar notes and creating changing textures with pedals and amps, while the latter crafts a liquid light show and sprays patterns of luminous color onto his Ghostmate. PLEASURES is a Sarasota-spawned purveyor of eye-crossing tripped-out science fiction grind, likening their sound to “dark and doomy sex music for robots.” We couldn’t agree more. Florida Night Heat rounds it out with their oozy grimy rock. (The Hub, Tampa)

Bernie Fest in the Burg Democratic Party nominee Bernie Sanders seems to be holding the title of Least Likely to Win but Most Liked by Everyone in the 2016 Presidential Campaign. Whether he can beat Hilary Clinton to rep the Dems in the final race is directly related to how many people vote for him in the primary and the amount of money and awareness his supporters can raise for him at events like this two-day many-band fundraiser/voter registration drive. Seventeen acts varying greatly in sound, from hip hop to alternative folk to psychedelic rock, perform over two days. On Saturday, from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m. (in order of appearance), there’s NoNeed, American Song Box, Dawn Willey, Jonathan Blake, John Clark Band, He She Me Wumbo, Orion, AMiAM, Samurai Shotgun, Matthew Bistok & Electric Powered Windmills and Fall on Purpose. Sunday’s noon to 6 p.m. lineup includes Chuck Terzian, Infinite Third, Jun, Infinite Skillz, Lobo Marino and Redfeather. Admission is a $10 suggested donation each day. (Kymatic Stuydios, St. Petersburg)

Sunshine City Songwriters Festival: Kinky Friedman The cult hero who’s dabbled in government, tequila, cigars and twang-kicking songwriting released his first outing of new material in nearly 40 years in 2015 – The Loneliest Man I Ever Met – and was persuaded to make his way to sunny FLA to play the fest in support. Tickets to the 6 p.m. performance are already sold out, though a few tickets remained for the second 8:30 p.m. showing at the time of this printing. (Craftsman House Gallery, St. Petersburg)

Paul Thorn One of WMNF’s all time faves, a roots rocker with gospel-blues soul lands in town to perform two back-to-back shows at the Skipperdome. Saturday night’s performance is a fully-charged electric affair with an opening set by Detroit Americana songstress Jennifer Westwood, while Sunday evening features an acoustic performance with warm-up from hubbie-and-wife alt country duo The Hummingbirds. (Skipper's Smokehouse, Tampa)

Dark Star Orchestra The jam scene kids sure do the most popular of all Grateful Dead tribute acts due to their reverent treatment of that elder states-band’s material. DSO’s members re-create full show setlists, song by song, replete with similar stage set up, rigs and instrumental and vocal lineups. The trick for diehards is in figuring out just which show of the hundreds possible they could be playing, while regular heads just get lost in the heady fine grooves. (Jannus Live, St. Petersburg)

Living Decent with DieAlps!, Total Shit First Awkward Age played their last show until who knows when. Now, St. Petersburg-Orlando outfit Living Decent – which features AA frontman Vic Alvarez with hubbie-wife duo Jeff and Katrina Snyder doing ‘90s influenced acoustic emo sounds – is also taking an indefinite break as Alvarez follows work to the West Coast. This special in-store is a good-bye show of sorts with support from charming waltzing indie pop darlings DieAlps! and low-fi rockers Total Shit. (Microgroove, Tampa)

Weaksauce, Rude Squad, Bootleg, Unmotivated In the spirit of the free comps you used to get walking into the fests like Warped Tour and Lollapalooza – which usually featured music by their most buzzworthy acts – local musician Eric Best has put together a compilation. Soundtrack Under the Sun encompasses 18 tracks by 18 local bands (including his current and former groups, Paint the Town Red and Rude Squad, respectively), most of them unreleased (like an old Weaksauce serenade) and touching on reggae rock, ska, singer-songwriter fare, indie pop and more. All participating bands coughed up dough to get 500 copies of the comp printed, local businesses sponsored and the result are comps that’ll be given away for free at this show, which marks the much anticipated reunions of both Weaksauce and Rude Squad. (State Theatre, Clearwater)

Perdition Temple, Father Befouled, Encoffination, Gnosis, Caveman Cult A fine caliber underground metal show showcasing some elite talent as riff-led by Perdition Temple, their savagely blackened maelstroms of sound driven by axe slayer and founder Gene Palubicki joined by his Angelcorpse bandmate, guitarist Bill Taylor, and Black Witchery vocalist Impurath. Atlanta-Chicago outfit Father Befouled craftsold school anti-Christian death metal, Encoffination is the self-styled “most wretched and abysmal death metal band of the last decade,” (residing somewhere between Atlanta and San Diego), and Gnosis and Caveman Cult dredge up brutality from Miami. (Brass Mug, Tampa)
