You can hear the ‘90s rock influence in the tunes of Greenville, S.C.-bred trio Heyrocco, a mix of grungy guitar distortion and looser strums, ambling or harder-thumping drums, and earnest emotive vocal melodies drifting and warbling and yearning along. Black Coast Royals is the St. Pete band formerly known as lushbudget, a four-piece that mixes vintage rock twang with psych and hard-rock drive. And Acting Natural sets pitch-perfect three-part vocal harmonies against swaying roots-rock melodies and brasher rock n' roll stomp. 9 p.m., Fubar, St. Petersburg, free admission (ages 21 & up).
