Before Copeland and Anberlin put their own small Florida towns on the map, there was Nora’s Breakfast Club, a slept-on Lakeland indie-rock outfit that released three albums of shoe-gazing dream-pop.

The band, which tried a reunion in 2012, is back in the studio (The Vanguard Room, helmed by Aaron Marsh of Copeland, mind you) and working on new music that hopefully pours out of the PA at this gig alongside Central Florida’s lord of art-pop-noir, Mrenc.

Tickets to see Mrenc, Nora’s Breakfast Club and Bad Sci-Fi play Union Hall in Lakeland on Sunday, Sept. 8 are still available and start at $10.
