New ’80s Italo disco-inspired Tampa band Offerings will open for Gene Loves Jezebel next week

Brianna Bullock should be a relatively familiar name to longtime observers of Tampa’s indie-rock scene, but she’s going to go ahead and re-introducer herself by opening for ’80s U.K. rock band Gene Loves Jezebel at Crowbar in Ybor City next Thursday, June 16 .

Bullock, a former bassist for Glove, also fronted Siouxsie Sioux revering outfit Maudlin Moon, but started to grow antsy when the darkwave act hung it up. So she started to mess around with more electronic music production and Ableton during quarantine.
The sound of her new solo project, Offerings, is inspired nu ’80s Italo disco and will be on full display where Bullock likely play a new single, “Tarnished Heart,” which is 100% about feeling defeated in a tumultuous relationship.
