In November, William Dorey will be in Mexico as part of the Hypnosis two-day indie-rock megafestival alongside Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Molchat Doma, Spiritualized and at least a dozen more heavy hitters likes Japanese Breakfast, Deafheaven, Crumb and The Budos Band.

A week later, the London-based alt-pop maestro finds himself in Florida for a three-date run through the Sunshine State that includes a stop in the Bay area.

Dorey—better known by the Skinshape moniker—is supporting Mostrando os Dentes, his second project with Brazilian singer-songwriter Pedro Mizutani.

Skinshape has also been a shapeshifting project as of late, as evidenced by a funky 2024 album, Another Side Of Skinshape, which lets listeners into less-explored corners of Dorey’s mind where Ethiopian rhythms, soulful vocals, and experiments with different drum machines and keyboards fill the air.

It’ll be interesting to see how much analog equipment Dorey, and ex-member of the U.K. alt-rock band Palace, is able to bring with him to the Bay area.

Tickets to see Skinshape play Bayboro Brewing Co. in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Nov. 8 are available now for $25-$30.
