The Eradicator’s devotion to the 1989 “Kids In the Hall” skit is impressive, disconcerting and wholly entertaining all at once.

Clad is a full face ski mask and squash-court-ready attire, the locally-based, nationally infamous, project serves up straight ahead punk-rock, and most recently put out a 2022 outing (Forever The Eradicator) that plays well with a discography that goes all the way back to 2015.

Usually in action on club stages, this gig on the back patio of Jug & Bottle , a beloved Seminole Heights bottle features almost locker-room-level intimacy.

Tickets to see The Eradicator play Jug & Bottle Dept. in Tampa on Saturday, Feb. 17 are still available for $12.
