Meteoreyes (stylized “MeteorEYES”) lead singer Shannon Fortner spent most of their fall somewhat hobbled after a long-awaited knee replacement. They appear to be mostly healed up, because the Sarasota-based “electro-rock-synth-pop” trio headlines a gig that also features alternative-rock duo Dead Diplomat—also from Sarasota—celebrating the release of its heavily-synthed, straightforward debut album Happy Kids.

Tickets to see Meteoreyes and more play Bradenton’s Oscura on Friday, Dec. 15 are still available and cost $5.
