Tampa Bay has a vibrant legion of Electronic Body Music (EBM) apostles, and the bands take notice.

Just last week, Ministry pummeled St. Pete with songs old and new, and this week, we get a spin with Ronan Harris, the 56-year-old founder and principal of European futurepop pioneer VNV Nation.

The band kicks off a U.S. tour in Tampa with a new album, Electric Sun, which does not stray from the formula but stands tall among some of Harris’ best stuff.

Tickets to see VNV Nation play Tampa Orpheum on Friday, March 29 are sold-out.
