Two indie-rock bands that’ve dominated audiences from around the globe come to town this weekend when Canada’s Born Ruffians (touring behind last year’s Uncle, Duke & The Chief) shares the stage with Last Dinosaurs who reign from Australia, but use their Japanese heritage as a focal point in their songwriting. Last Dinosaurs' sound is reminiscent of of upbeat mid-2000s indie-pop acts like Tokyo Police Club and Two Door Cinema Club, so get your dancing shoes on deck.

Born Ruffians w/Last Dinosaurs. Sat. Nov. 9, 6:30 p.m. $20. Orpheum, Ybor City. axs.com
