It’s been a while since we’ve been able to catch St. Petersburg hip-hop and rock duo DEA & Saint near Ybor City, but the intensity of the band’s 2018 album T R A P D O O M hasn’t faded one bit. It’s been even longer since Gidion Grey, Michael Couling and Jon Fox brought their genre-defying witch-punk band, Above Snakes, out to play, so expect a bunch of friends to go check it all out on Friday.

DEA & Saint w/Above Snakes/Fly Mordecai/Jonny & the Yard Cats. Fri. Aug. 16, 6 p.m. $7. The Blue Note, Tampa. eventbrite.com.
