Tribute shows are normally hit-or-miss; Bungalow Entertainment has yet to miss the mark. This one at Crowbar taps eight local musicians from bands like Displace, Hip Abduction and Bangarang to form an outfit that’ll recreate the raucous and socially conscious songs of Rage Against the Machine. It’s a tall task, but nonprofit presence (Food Not Bombs, Feeding Tampa Bay) means that some good will come out of the show even if it tanks (which it won’t).

Guerilla Radio: A Tribute to Rage Against the Machine. Sat., June 22. 7 p.m. $12. Crowbar, Ybor City. eventbrite.com.
