What's probably the coolest electronic show of the summer is going down tonight at the Crowbar in Ybor. The Soft Rock Renegades, CL's Best of the Bay winner for Best DJ Night, are celebrating their 1 year anniversary with live performances from two well respected electronic artists – The Juan Maclean (DFA/NYC) & The Field (Kompakt/Sweden). The Juan Maclean are supporting their new album, 'The Future Will Come.' You can expect a full-on live show, somewhat reminiscent of LCD Soundsystem (and not just because Nancy Whang is also in the band). With The Field it'll be a little different as Axel Willner creates huge soundscapes via a minimalist approach from behind his set-up. The Field just released a new album 'Yesterday and Today,' though hopefully they won't forget about material from the standout 2007 release 'From Here We Go Sublime.'
As always, the price is right for Tuesday nights at Crowbar: $5 liters; showtime is 9pm, $10. All ages kids.
Check out a David Lynch/The Field video mash-up after the jump.
