On their debut, concept album Weedkiller, Ashton Caseyโ€”a.k.a. Ashnikkoโ€”portrays a fairy surrounded by a machine called the Weedkiller, said to represent the shitty state of the environment, technology heading on the path to going a little too far, and every unnecessary adversity they have faced in life.

The 27-year-oldโ€™s current run of showsโ€”which includes this sold-out stop at Jannus Liveโ€”contains most of the recordโ€™s tracks, butโ€”understandablyโ€”no sign of โ€œBoss Bitch,โ€ the โ€œBirds Of Preyโ€ track they co-wrote with Doja Cat three years ago.

Tickets to see Ashnikko play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Thursday, Oct. 5 are sold-out.
