A look back at the show that happened Fri., June 3.
Three videos with ties to Tampa Bay.
The sun came out yesterday afternoon, and the Bay area glistened as if — well, not like it was reborn, exactly, but more like it was under several inches of very questionable water and festooned with a number of felled palm trees. Tropical Storm Colin did not go quietly, and by midday Tuesday St. Pete…
A look at a few noteworthy shows happening this Wed., June 8.
Camping can be an unpleasant experience, but there’s something comforting about doing it with 100,000 of your closest friends and some of the country’s most popular bands.
After Tropical Storm Colin brought heavy rains to the Tampa Bay area, the city of St. Pete had a tough but familiar choice so make: let a nasty cocktail of stormwater and sewage tax the city's waste water infrastructure to the point where it bubbles up out of manholes, or pump some of it out…
The four-day grand opening celebration for Tampa’s Chakana SoHo will begin Thursday.

Owner John Cullen has a few choice final words to dole out.
Did you manage to stay dry yesterday? Of course you didn't; no one did. According to an AP report, Florida Attorney General and noted influence-seeker Pam Bondi "personally solicited" a political contribution from Donald Trump, and her office decided not to join an investigation into accusations of fraud on the part of his Trump University…
Jennie got a gun. Because, apparently, the numbers make sense.
U.S. Representative Ted Yoho, a Gainesville Republican who thinks that only property owners should have the right to vote, is apparently a little scared of transgender equality. In a cringe-worthy YouTube video posted June 4 (which we came across via Florida Politics), he said he thinks transgender individuals using facilities corresponding to their gender identity rather…
Chipotle and a GrillSmith-Florida Aquarium partnership offer food promos this week.
Hurricane season bit-chompy this year.
A weekly (Spotify included) playlist featuring 15 new tracks.
Sunday’s grilled cheese festival brought food trucks and other vendors to a packed EDGE District courtyard.
So it seems hurricane season took a page from The Contemporary Christmas Shopping Season Marketing Playbook and kicked things off a little earlier this year, yes? In a couple of years it'll start on Memorial Day, then the Monday after Easter, and before you know it we'll be giving each other cutesy decorative sandbags on…
Rick Scott’s Florida is a hot-bed for reproductive oppression.
A breakdown of concerts highlights for this Sat., June 4. She Wants Revenge It's been 10 years since the often enigmatic post-punkers burst onto the scene with their self-titled debut. While not critically acclaimed, the album's resounding popularity has cultivated a cult-like reverence over the decade since its release. To celebrate their concentrated brand of…
Head to Gulfport to celebrate 50 years of the Suncoast Surf Shop.
For a spell, it had looked as though Florida Governor Rick Scott was an obvious choice for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump's running mate. After all, he's a successful (if one is willing to overlook all the fraud that occurred on his watch) businessman-turned-politician from the Great State of Florida, a state many deem…
On Wednesday, Pinellas County's most generous givers packed an otherwise barren warehouse in an industrial stretch of Pinellas Park. They were celebrating plans for a large, free-standing local food bank to better serve the hungry in south and mid-Pinellas County, a facility expected to open early next year. “Hunger is a reality, a daily reality…
This week, CL contributor Mark Leib wrote about troubles at The Well, a Tampa Heights nonprofit that prepares and serves meals to the homeless.

The summer menu at Grey Salt has started featuring fresh dishes and new cocktails.
CL’s a little emotional about D.P. Dough bringing a calzone restaurant to Tampa.
Are you ready for Friday? Yeah, well, you said you weren't ready for wasabi potato chips, either. And look at you now, spending all night in the car, scouring the racks of convenience store and bodega aisles from Palm Harbor to Wesley Chapel. So maybe you weren't ready. Maybe it was too much, too soon.…
A breakdown of concerts happening this Fri., June 3, plus a peek at the weekend ahead.
As we we wrote several months ago, the connection between animal abuse and abuse of humans is clear (and obviously only human scum would commit either), and Hillsborough County Commissioner Kevin Beckner wants the county to keep tabs on convicted animal abusers in order to keep animals and vulnerable humans alike out of their reach.…
The outrage over HB2 and HB1523 has spilled over into the world of rock n’ roll.
The Ybor location of Cristino’s Coal Oven Pizza served its final meals Tuesday night.
Hillsborough County Commissioners are not known for fostering a spirit of crunchy progressive thought at the dais (OK, maybe one is…). So it was at first shocking when the most conservative of the bunch, Commissioner Stacy White (whose district largely comprises the county's blood-red rural areas) brought forth a proposed resolution asking the Florida Fish…
The Midwestern emo/math rock group tears down genre walls with their third and latest outing (audio included).

A six-course wine-pairing collaboration on the Skyway will bridge the gap between Sarasota and St. Pete.
Les Claypool and Sean Lennon land in town on Sunday with their righteous psychedelic space rock project.
You'll be wanting to get right to it, then. Yet another Allegiant Air flight was forced to make an emergency landing at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, this one due to an unspecified mechanical issue. Thankfully, no sane person was endangered by the circumstances, because you'd have to be fucking crazy to get on an Allegiant…
Directed by the Tony Award-winning Des McAnuff, “Jersey Boys” is a high-energy must see.

About those vegan burgers that look, sizzle, smell and “bleed” like ground beef.
It’s 6 p.m. Thursday and about 50 men and women, many of them homeless, are seated in an outdoor area behind an old brick building on Tampa Heights’s Florida Avenue, waiting for dinner. First, Charissa Stepp, 23, the director of what is called The Banquet, asks everyone to keep silent while she says a prayer…
