Born Free Pub & Grill in Tampa, Florida on Sept. 23, 2022.
The westside meets the Gulf Coast when Pez lands at Tampa biker bar Born Free—and bodies will fly. The California quintet is a sleeping giant of hardcore and joined by Gainesville cyberpunk favorite Pez, plus north Florida noise behemoth Colonial Wound, and Bay area heavy hitter Horsewhip, which just announced a new album.

Thrashy grindcore local Shining Wizard opens the show, which will probably sell-out.

Tickets to see Spy play Born Free Pub & Grill in Tampa on Friday, March 31 are only available at the door for $15.
