"A dynamic, high-energy live concert photograph of singer Carla Harvey from the band Lords of Acid performing on stage. Harvey is captured mid-scream with their mouth wide open and long, dark teal-tinted hair flying wildly around their face. They are wearing a shiny, black latex-style bodysuit. In the softly blurred background, another band member with short blonde hair is visible playing a keyboard and raising a black microphone stand high into the air. In the foreground, the raised arms of enthusiastic audience members reach toward the stage, with one hand prominently making a 'rock on' or 'horns' gesture. The dark venue is intensely illuminated by vibrant green stage lighting. To the right, a venue pillar heavily covered in band stickers is visible."

It’s going to get freaky in North Tampa when Lords of Acid finds itself back on Nebraska Avenue.

The EBM band—featuring founding members Praga Khan along with new singer Carla Harvey—is on the verge of releasing new music, according to Khan who told fans that the new stuff respects the past while putting “a clear focus on the future.”

Live shows are pretty much adults only affairs with plenty of nipple tape and latex for everyone. 

Tickets to see Lords of Acid play Orpheum in Tampa on Sunday, May 17 are still available for $41.70.
