Glass Chapel, which plays The Hub in Tampa, Florida on Aug. 26, 2023.

Thanks to the Jags, kickass journalism from The Tributary and an electorate that’s turned Jacksonville into a blip of blue hope, Duval is having a moment.

Bold City should be proud of Jake Phillips, too.

His band, Glass Chapel, plays goth-rock for fans of Cold Cave, Joy Division and Gary Numan. It’s on the road supporting a new single “Foreign Rain / Where Roses Go,” and arrives at this no-cover gig alongside Gainesville darkwave outfit Draining Kiss, plus local favorites Sleeping Pills and Offering which also play dancey, Castle-ready post-punk and pop.

There’s no cover to see Glass Chapel play The Hub in Tampa on Saturday, Aug. 26. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
