On “The Place That Makes Me Happy,” The Moss frontman Tyke James has all the swag of Elvis with a lot more shag on his head.

The band’s brand new single, “Alive” is FFO of bands like The Strokes, but wears lyrics that anyone surviving the pandemic can relate to.

“I wrote ‘Alive’ at a time in my life where the beliefs that I had for so long started to seem very fickle and incomplete. ‘Alive’ is the ambassador of a new way of thinking for me that involves trusting and taking care of myself, and letting go once in a while,” James wrote in a press release.

Fresh-faced New York City rock band Dogpark opens along with local heavy-hitter Rohna.

Tickets to see The Moss play Crowbar in Ybor City on Thursday, July 18 are still available and start at $23.
