Though naturally occuring, radon in the building world can be a big problem. Luckily in the music world recurrent Radon means rejoicing. Radon version 1.0 was a stalwart of the Florida scene in the 90s. Since reforming they have put out a new record on No Idea Records and have been out playing shows including Fest. Sadly, this was my first time catching them since the reformation. Transitions Art Gallery was packed to welcome Radon back to Tampa and enjoy the opening acts. Alas, I only managed to catch Lemuria before Radon took the stage.
Lemuria
Lemuria might just be my new favorite band of the minute. Hailing from Buffalo, NY the trio combines to create an irresistible indie pop akin to [insert references to 90s indie bands here] but with their own unique twist. In summary, Lemuria is just plain fun.
Radon
- Radon is Dave Papa Radon - Guitar, Vocals; Brent Crude - Guitar, Vocals; Bill Clower - Drums; Mike Collins - Bass
Despite being down one band member, Radon engaged the crowd for their entire set culminating in a venue wide chanting of the Radon anthem: Bow down to me! Bow down to me! Radon! Radon!:
And, of course, there was crowd surfing:
