Bandcamp/Current Joys

Current Joys, which plays Crowbar in Ybor City, Florida on February 8, 2019.

Nick Rattigan sings and plays drums for Nevada minimalist duo Surf Curse, but he’s released music under the TELE/VISIONS and Nicholas Project moniker, too. For this show, he slips into his Current Joys outfit in order to support nostalgic 2018 LP A Different Age, which is wrought with an irony and apathy that manages to be pretty damn catchy, too. Another Nevadan, Gap Girls, plays electro-pop to open the show.

Current Joys w/Gap Girls. Fri. Feb. 8, 8 p.m.. $12-$14. Crowbar, 1812 N. 17th St., Ybor City. crowbarybor.com.
