Discussing "Hot Thoughts" by Spoon Is Hot Thoughts your favorite Spoon album? Maybe it's the one you absolutely loathe. Either way, Disco Dolls' Kristine Ownley is leading a discussion about the Austin indie-rock band's 2017 LP, and you are invited to BYOB and participate. Just don't be late because the doors lock at 8 p.m. (Disco Dolls Studio, Tampa) INFO
8 Ball Aitken At this point, we’re going to assume that somebody in the Bay area has either adopted 8 Ball Aitken or let him park his trailer in their yard. The Australian songwriter has appeared on our live music calendar three times in the last two months: once at the Independent in Seminole Heights, another time at a Tampa house show and again as direct support for Tinsley Ellis at Skipper’s Smokehouse. On Wednesday, he finally gets to headline a the Skipperdome, where we suspect he’ll stretch out and really let his unique blend of blues and Down Under country music (not the Keith Urban kind) unfurl much like the way his fiery mop of hair does onstage.
