Fronted by Deviant Libation founder and brewmaster Tim Ogden, The Path of Increased Indifference is a band that plays a self-described “post-hardcore meets noisecore with a math rock twist” brand of rock.

Its new album, Night School Field Trip, has been in the works for about as long as the venue’s been open—and while it’s been five years since there’s been anything new from the band, you don’t rush art, especially when you’re able to score a guest spot or two from fellow Tampa-based artists like Meatwound’s Marty Iglesias who contributes vocals to the title track.

Purr Purr Purr, the feline rap project of songwriter Shae Krispinsky, opens the show alongside Bay area instrumental-rock heavyweight Prescribed Fire and punk-scene staple Dead Mirrors.

Tickets to see The Path of Increased Indifference play Deviant Libation in Tampa on Friday, Feb. 28 are $15 at the door.
