Last week saw Hooch and Hive kick off its Friday local music series with an eclectic mashing together of rock, hip-hop and salsa, but this week’s installment is a little more specific thanks to the booking of guitar-based rock bands that play anthemic emo (Spork), catchy dream-pop (Planet Loser) and lo-fi stoner-punk (Wave Coast). There are no-cover shows happening pretty much every night this week, and this is one of them.

Spork w/Wave Coast/Planet Loser. Fri. Aug. 16, 9 p.m. No cover. Hooch and Hive, Tampa. brokenmoldentertainment.com.
