Remember when hard rock quartet Crobot promoted its debut album at St. Pete’s dearly departed Local 662? Eight years later, that spot has since become a Maple Street Biscuit Company, and Brandon Yeagley and friends—who opened for Steel Panther at Jannus Live earlier this year—are pushing Crobot’s fourth studio album Feel This.

The record—which has been said to summon both Soundgarden and Black Sabbath—sees long, eclectic guitar sections from Chris Bishop, and Yeagley’s unmatched vocals tackling topics such as flying, and being a musician who lives in the streets, with no need for anything except for his hair and his guitar.

Texas-based “doom-wop” rock band Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol opens what appears to be Crobot’s Tampa-proper debut.

Tickets to see Crobot play Orpheum in Tampa on Sunday, July 30 are still available and start at $18.
