I’ll avoid cliches involving rain or pouring but this week is overflowing with live music worth leaving the house for.
Tonight, Built to Spill is at the State, while Giddy-Up, Helicopter! is at Push Ultra Lounge, both in St. Petersburg.
Friday, Alejandro Escovedo is at The Palladium in St. Petersburg, a WMNF show. Tampa Theatre gets in the act with screenings of “Control” at 7:30 and 10 p.m. It’s director Anton Corbjin’s feature about Joy Division and its doomed singer, Ian Curtis.
Saturday brings old school soul to Skipper’s Smokenouse in Tampa when WMNF presents Charles Walker & the Dynamites. Alt-rock greats Matt Pond PA are at New World Brewery along with Tampa’s Mouse Fire. WiLD Splash brings Rick Ross, Wyclef Jean, Pitbulll and others to Ford Amphitheatre. Egyptology-obsessed metalists Nile storm the State Theatre.
Sunday, it’s The Roots, one of if not the best live act around, at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg. If more metal is what you need, check out Black Cobra at Transitions Art Gallery at Skatepark of Tampa.
Monday, Pat Metheny plays a trio gig with bassist Christian McBride and drumerer Antonio Sanchez at Tampa Theatre.
Tuesday you’ll have to decide between Ani DiFranco at Tampa Theatre or They Might Be Giants at Jannus. Wednesday at Jannus it’s the “Take Action Tour” with Every Time I Die, The Bled, From First to Last and more. Thursday, chill at Push Ultra Lounge with Tribal Style and Poetry ‘n Lotion.
Can’t find something in there that appeals to you? Dang, cuz, you’re picky.

I manage a young up and coming band comprised mainly of University of Tampa and SPC students, SugarSuite. They will be appearing for two shows at the Sebring Raceway as part of their race week festivities. They are also doing a show at Sebrings’ The Hive for the Race Week kick off party. It would be awesome if you would list their appearances. They are a really talented group of kids (19 - 21).

Sounds like a great line up. Alejandro Escovedo puts on a great show. He has something for everyone. I’ve never seen the Roots, but I really like their music. Unfortunately, they don’t make it to the great Midwest very often, like never. I’ll have to keep watching for them.
