Meet 30 young Tampa Bay musicians who are (re)making a scene
The selling point on “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” is that the sets are only 20 minutes long, which is great if you like your concerts to have that hit-it-and-quit-it, bang-bang vibe and still acceptable if you like to see your local bands get just a little more stage time.
Hit Me With Your Best Shot w/The Young Something/Shevonne Philidor/Honeywhat/Blake Daniels/Pleasures/Bendy Straw/Kerry Courtney/American Supermodel. Sat. Sept. 1, 8 p.m. $10. Crowbar, 1812 N. 17th St. Ybor City. wmnf.org.
