Recognized by Rolling Stone in its "New Favorite Band" column and described by said publication as "synthy Bee-Gee's-meets-Prince funk," Brooklyn indie foursome Tigercity fuses strutting, 1970s-style disco with catchy pop hooks and falsetto vocals. The band supports Louisville's VHS or Beta, another synthified outfit with New Wave leanings; their lead singer Craig Pfunder practices a fake English accent on the 2007 album, Bring on the Comets. 9 p.m., Crowbar, 1812 N. 17th St., Tampa, $12, 813-241-8600, aestheticized.com.
