It’s pretty cool to see Seminole Heights record shop Microgroove back in venue mode.

Last weekend saw Blue Broderick’s Diners project play a solo set before opening a gig at Hooch and Hive, and this weekend the store goes punk with St. Pete’s Rutterkin playing the hometown slot for a couple of bans from other parts of Florida: Daytona emo-punk outfit Virginity and Orlando-indie-pop darling The Pauses, which releases a brand (seemingly synth-rockin’) new single, “I Cocoon,” just a few days before this show.

Tickets to see Rutterkin, The Pauses, and Virginity pay Microgroove in Tampa on Sunday, Sept. 24 are available for $10.
