Tigercity @ Will's Pub

Any of you kids remember the band that opened for VHS or Beta last year? Well, you should. They’re called Tigercity, a Brooklyn-based band named as one of Rolling Stone’s Artists to Watch in 2007. This disco-fied foursome are guys after my own heart: they describe their influences "ranging from The Police, Daft Punk, and Roxy Music, to classic Prince and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson." Um... yes, please! My favorite song on their Myspace player is Are You Sensation, hands down.



They’re playing tonight at Will's Pub with Spirit Bomb, Makeshift Gentleman and The Royal. Catch them in your own backyard while you still can! Not only are they headed off to SXSW and a European tour, I’m sure it's only a matter of time before they get signed to the DFA label or something similar.

$8, Doors at 9 PM

Put Your Hands Together and We'll Set This Night On Fire

VHS or Beta returns to Orlando tonight to rock The Social and I am totally stoked. The last time I saw them was in 2004 when I was obsessed with Night on Fire. All I knew about the band was that the lead singer sounded extremely similar to Simon Le Bon from Duran Duran. But during that show, not only was the group completely on point, they turned the place into the biggest dance party I had ever seen -- a surprising feat for live band. I felt like I was watching a DJ. You definitely don't want to miss out.

Doors for the show tonight are at 10 PM and opening acts include Tigercity, one of Rolling Stone's Artists to Watch, and Orlando's own DJ Diddles.
