Tampa songwriters say their ‘Bitch Cabaret’ will fight off the darkness of the world outside

On the surface, there might not be two Tampa musicians with more juxtaposed personalities: pop songwriter Jeremy Gloff is outspoken and out-as-can-be, while songwriter Shae Krispinsky is more reclusive.

Deep homies in real life, Gloff and Krispinky’s Shower Beers project have collided to combat the “hate, darkness, and disillusion” of the word with a 14-track LP that a press release describes as “loud, proud, queer, sexual, political, thoughtful, and definitely human.” The record pieces together straight up anthems (“C’mon Get Up”), synth-heavy odes to home (“813 Summertime), DEVO-esque ragers (“Shit Show”), and bedroom ballads (“Hurricane Season”).

To mark the release, the duo heads to Disco Dolls and stages a “Bitch Cabaret” and immersive performance with help from tap dancers, comedians, performance artists, rappers, a choir, and improv musical comedy.

“After years of occasional collaborations, we finally came together and discovered a power greater than the sum of our parts,” Gloff and Krispinsky wrote in a statement. “This album is about survival, joy, and reclaiming our voices. Honestly? We’re nominating ourselves for album of the year.”

Tickets for the “Bitch Cabaret” with Jeremy Gloff and Shower Beers happening Saturday, Sept. 6 at Tampa’s Disco Dolls are still available for $10.
