On their debut, concept album Weedkiller, Ashton Casey—a.k.a. Ashnikko—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-old’s current run of shows—which includes this sold-out stop at Jannus Live—contains most of the record’s tracks, but—understandably—no sign of “Boss Bitch,” the “Birds Of Prey” 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.
