Fans of EMB and electro will probably hit Orpheum twice this week. Look below to read why.

Hocico w/00tz 00tz/Misfit Toyz/DJ Veine Floridians: Here’s your only chance to see Mexican electro-industrial dup Hocico in your home state. The bilingual product should feel right at home at Orpheum where hordes of followers will surely move through the doors and then hopefully head to The Castle where an unofficial after party is sure to unfold. Thurs. May 16. 7 p.m. $15-$30. Orpheum, Ybor City. eventbrite.com.

Nitzer Ebb Hope you’re horny. Nitzer Ebb, whose flirtatious, loud and occasionally rude brand of EBM soundtracked goth clubs during the 80s and 90s, is stateside on its first North American tour in a decade. Visa issues prevented two members (David Gooday and Simon Granger) from being a part of first leg of this tour coming to Ybor City, but founding members Bon Harris and Douglas McCarthy are still on hand to lead the way and invite fans to join the chant. Nostalgic vibes will no doubt spillover into an official after party happening at, you guessed it, The Castle. Mon. May 20, 7p.m.. $29.50-$35.Orpheum, Ybor City. eventbrite.com.
