A high-energy live concert photograph of Joshua James Lefefe, drummer and vocalist for the band Earthgirl. Lefefe, wearing a red and white polka-dot dress, is captured mid-performance behind a drum kit with a wide, joyful smile. They are singing into a microphone while holding drumsticks poised over the snare and tom-tom. In the background, a white surface features a red Budweiser logo and the hand-painted letters 'i r l' from the band's name. The lighting is dramatic with a slight lens flare, capturing the intimate, DIY atmosphere of a Florida indie venue.

The Tampa Bay music community has spent 2026 staging multiple benefit concerts for neighbors in the trans and immigrant community, and the latest goes down this week at Deviant Libation.

Tim Ogden’s brewery and distillery has emerged as a haven for the community and reliable concert space for the DIY scene. On May 5, it hosts a show where proceeds will go towards the Tampa Bay Immigrant Solidarity Network (one of a few such organizations profiled in a recent story by Tampa Bay Journalism Project partner The Sapphic Sun).

Pigeon Chess, the folk-punk project of Calli Preta, is on the bill along with pop-punk outfit Stop n’ Shop, indie-pop band Earthgirl (pictured), and punk-rock quartet Abortion Twins. The show is headlined by Kansas City, Missouri band PB&TAT, a comedic trio that blends theater (think “Rocky Horror”) with blasphemous standup and politics.

It’s pay-what-you-can, with a $10-$20 suggested donation, at the Tampa Bay Immigrant Solidarity Network benefit show happening Tuesday, May 5 at Deviant Libation in Tampa.
