Buzzcocks
Little Steven's Underground Garage-A-Go-Go's 4th of July event at Tampa's Hard Rock Casino featured Buzzcocks, The Chesterfield Kings, The Gore Gore Girls, Fortune & Maltese, and The Unrequited Loves. It wasn't a tour, it wasn't a private event, it was free, and Jen Cray was there.
Eames Era
While throngs of music lovers converged on Tampa's Ybor City for the 25th edition of WMNF's Tropical Heatwave, a little known band from Baton Rouge proved to be one of the highlights of the night. The Eames Era come to Tampa virtually unknown and left with a cadre of converts. Bob Pomeroy was one of them.
Ministry
The MasterbaTour is the Al Jourgensen show. Headlined by Ministry and also featuring Jourgensen's longtime side project, Revolting Cocks, it's an evening of industrial, experimental metal, and mayhem. Jen Cray finds herself front and center.
Panic! At The Disco
Just in time for Brittany Sturges' 4th of July activities, Panic! at the Disco stopped in to Philly for a bit of action and to shake things up.
Summerbirds In The Cellar
Summerbirds In The Cellar represent the best of the blossoming Orlando music scene. A band that defies strict categorization, flocks of Central Florida's music connoisseurs, including Jen Cray, crammed into Will's Pub to celebrate the release of the limited edition vinyl release of their debut album.
The Dirty Three
"If you want to dance, go on and fucking dance!" How could Heather Lorusso resist such an entreaty from Warren Ellis and the Dirty Three?
Theo & the Skyscrapers
It's a cross breed of new wave and metal fronted by a badass former Lunachick. Theo & the Skyscrapers make a Sunday night in Orlando an event for Jen Cray and the rest of the audience.
Warped Tour
The Warped Tour brings its annual circus of misfits and mayhem to Orlando. Jen Cray experiences the overindulgence of noise, colors, crowds, heat... and torrential rain.
