If your pandemic concert going was a little quiet, here’s a gig that’s welcoming you back in the loudest way possible. Tequila daddy Laith Abdel fronts Mindwash, a rock band for fans of the Mars Volta, ZZ Top, and even James Brown (seriously, all at the same time), and hardcore band Wreath—fronted by Eliot Mayo—is back playing live after releasing one of 2020’s best records (LIYL: Minor Threat). Get there early to see punk band Black Clash support its September 2020 record All Sales Are Final.
Mindwash w/Wreath/Black Clash. Friday, June 11, 8 p.m. Price TBD. Hooch and Hive, Tampa. @hoochandhive on Facebook
