Music fans still can’t hit dancefloors without putting venues in danger of losing their alcohol permits, so we all might as well get weird.

Moonbae can help.

Self-described as a "synthwave alien music love collective," a press release says the Tampa-based electronic quartet “harnesses the power of electronica, transporting audiences to a pocket universe of bliss with original compositions and novel arrangements of curated classics.”

Fronted by Flow Sisters’ Alexa Toro, the band—including Candice Bailey on “bass and beatz,” Michael Schlein who “manifests hypnotics and harmonies,” and Nathan Kozyra summoning “melodies and mayhem”—the band plays for free on the outdoor stage.

Moonbae. Friday, Jan. 22, 7:30 p.m. No cover. New World Brewery, Tampa. INFO
