There’s a band called A R I Z O N A playing a sold-out show at Tampa’s Amalie Arena on Wednesday night, but here’s a Hump Day chance to see a band that’s actually from Arizona (Diners, a dream-pop band fronted by Tyler Broderick, who enlists a rotating cast of musicians to help bring hazy jams like “fifteen on a skateboard” to life) play a hyper-intimate set at a Tampa bookstore. Karen Meat — a Des Moines duo touring in support of its 2018 gem of an emo-pop album, You’re An Ugly Person — opens the show alongside Bay area locals Laundromat and Charles Irwin. You won’t have to hit StubHub for a ticket, but donations for touring bands are being collected.
Diners w/Karen Meat/Charles Irwin/Laundromat. Wed. Aug. 1, 9 p.m. Donations accepted. Mojo Books & Records, 2540 E Fowler Ave., Tampa. faceboook.com/pocketsandpresents.
