Redd Kross’ Tampa ties are deep because of the late Eddie Kurdziel.

The guitarist died in 1999, but not before laying down tracks for the Los Angeles power-pop band’s biggest albums, Phaseshifter and Show World. Kurdziel was also in ‘80s local new wave outfit Real Cameras.

Expect Redd Kross’ McDonald brothers (Jeff, Steven) to talk about their comrade at this gig where Barely Pink—Tampa’s own, still active purveyors of singalong-ready pop-rock—have been added as last-minute support.

Redd Kross w/Conan Neutron and the Secret Friends/Barely Pink Wednesday, April 1. 7 p.m. $35.06. Orpheum, Tampa
