Beach Fossils is no stranger to the Bay area, having opened for Post Malone at the old Gary shed and headlining The Ritz Ybor a few years before that.

The Brooklyn-based indie darling’s 2023 album Bunny still boasts the band’s beloved lush vocals, synthy melodies and easy listening, specialty coffee shop vibes, but get there early to see fellow New Yorker Nation of Language, which is steadily promoting its six month-old LP Strange Disciple.

The record—dark at times, but always driven by the raw, wounded performance of guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Ian Devaney—was Rough Trade’s no. 1 album of the year and cements the trio as perhaps the best synth-pop band in America.

Tickets to see Beach Fossils and Nation of Language play Tampa Orpheum on Friday, April 19 are still available and start at $29.50.  Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
