Tampa's own Merchandise will play a hometown release show for their sophomore release on 4AD on September 23 (although we're still pretty impressed by that party they had at The Hub).

Crowbar in Ybor City will host the shindig with Brooklyn's Public Memory and a pair of Tampa bands — Sleeping Pills and Naga — rounding things out. Tickets for the show are $10 and on sale now. Below, you'll see that Merchandise have released a video for "End Of The Week," which was directed and edited by frontman Carson Cox who got assists from Addison Post and Nick Curran on camera work plus Loroto Productions and actor Rene Nunez.

Their album, titled A Corpse For Wired Sound and set for release on the same day as the show, is available for pre-order here.

CL was pretty happy to see the tour poster come together, and you can get more information on the show at our events listings page. Tickets for the show are available here.
