A dynamic, close-up live concert photograph of the band Lords of Acid performing on stage. In the sharp foreground, a singer with long dark hair is captured mid-performance with their arms thrown enthusiastically in the air, head tilted back, and tongue sticking out. They are wearing a sheer black fishnet long-sleeve top with black tape crosses on their chest, layered over a dark red and black corset. In the softly blurred background to the left, another band member with long dark hair is playing a bass or electric guitar. The dark venue is illuminated by moody, vibrant purple and magenta stage lighting.

It’s going to get freaky in North Tampa when Lords of Acid finds itself back on Nebraska Avenue.

The EBM band—featuring founding members Praga Khan and Oliver Adams along with new singer Gigi Ricci—is on the verge of releasing new music, according to Khan who told fans that the new stuff respects the past while putting “a clear focus on the future.”

Live shows are pretty much adults only affairs with plenty of nipple tape and latex for everyone. 

Tickets to see Lords of Acid play Orpheum in Tampa on Sunday, May 17 are still available for $41.70.
