(Are Everywhere!) In St. Petersburg!


It’s a rare band that would welcome guests as disparate as punk iconoclast Jello Biafra and J.T. Woodruff of weenie-rockers Hawthorn Heights on its album. The A.K.A.s (Are Everywhere!) are that band and “Everybody Make Some Noise,” out in March, is that album.

The band - front man Mike Ski, guitarist Chris Bazan, keyboard player Josie Outlaw, bassist Justin Perry and drummer Chachi Darin - are hitting the road in advance of the album, hitting the State Theatre Sunday night.

Outlaw’s organ helps separate the band from the punk pack, as do Ski’s elastic vocals. Cuts such as “Dead Flowers Forever” stray a bit too close to pop-punk formula but rip-snorters like “Little Miss Apocalypse” offer full-on rock redemption. Fans of danceable punk like that of The Hives, The (International) Noise Conspiracy and even the much lamented Nation of Ulysses will find riffs to love here.

The State Theatre is at 687 Central Ave. in St. Petersburg. Call (727) 895-3045 for more information.
