After postponing its May 2020 show at Crowbar in Ybor City (thanks, COVID), hyperpop duo 100 gecs is headed to St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live this fall.
Before 100 gecs was even conceived, Laura Les and Dylan Brady knew each other in high school. Their first EP drew little mainstream attention, but once the duo made its way up by performing in music festivals held in Minecraft worlds, and by collaborating with Charli XCX and Fall Out Boy, it’s been nothing but new releases and headlining tours. The duo that gave us “stupid horse” was supposed to make its Tampa Bay debut last May. But due to the pandemic, its “Tree Of Clues Tour” never happened at all.
Other Florida dates on 100 gecs’ fall tour include Nov. 6 in Ft. Lauderdale (Revolution) and Nov. 5 in Orlando (Beacham).
“As they are known for dropping a steady trail of breadcrumbs for their fans, we recommend that you stay tuned for more exciting news from 100 gecs, soon,” a press release read. Will the 10,000 gecs tour audio companion be full of brand new recordings? Will it even exist? Oh, how we hope so.
