There’s no forgetting The Sh-Booms. Staples on the Central Florida indie-rock scene, bassist Alfred Ruiz and singer Brenda Radney made a mark with a garage-soul sound that’s since expanded, especially on a forthcoming EP, This Is A Test… due March 10.

On it, the nine-piece band takes a giant leap into pop, with stops in the worlds of post-punk, funk and new wave along the way—all fitting for a concept record about two astronauts on a collision course.

The support bill is eclectic as Ruiz and Radney’s tastes, and includes grunge-y Tampa band Hovercar along with Orlando metal outfit Skeletizer arriving in support of a fiery, fast, and loud mini album of its own, Sounds From the Doomshed.

Tickets to see The Sh-Booms play Crowbar in Ybor City on Saturday, March 7 are still available for $20.99.
