Dont Stop St Pete 2015

TICKET GIVEAWAY: Don’t Stop St. Pete | Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop! | Coming to Grand Central District St. Petersburg | Saturday, November 28, 2015

by • November 22, 2015

Take to the streets of the Grand Central District in St. Petersburg for the largest annual local band showcase. Don’t Stop St. Pete arrives with only the most addictive acts from around Tampa Bay.

Indie to hardcore talents take over four stages, and only your auxiliary pallet can determine your course for the night. The scene in the area is booming with up-and-coming acts spread across a multitude of genres. To narrow down the long list, I’ll be sticking with some of my hometown sound heroes.

Redfeather is the psychedelic indie sound that reverberates through Tampa Bay bars and eclectic spaces. Expect a spiritual experience when you hear Mark Etherington (also known for Set and Setting and Mountain Holler) lift your soul with “Fossils.”

Sonic Graffiti are the go-to for blues, funk, punk, and noise rock. The band is a wildcard performer, going from classic punk romp in “Scribbles” to scratchy alt-noise in “Dead Cop Dub.” The three piece are a blast to watch live, and are among my top favorites of the festival.

Brother duo Ryan and Kade Ballogg form Chant the Trees, an acoustic-folk act known for harmonizing vocals and earthy tones. Their sound is a progressive, at times spiritual, experience that feels born of and for the most tranquil outdoor spaces.

Meet Poster, the pleasant-vibing indie punk act that is utterly contagious. Just try to stand still during “Trainspotting”- it’s impossible to resist rolling, gorgeous energy emitted by the Tampa band. The act has been increasingly touring and building momentum even outside of the Bay area; experience this band before the explosion.

Tight Genes are the rhythmic garage rock ’n’ rollers that will decimate Sly Bar. With heavy noise punk influence, it’s no wonder their momentum is building throughout Florida. The Orlando act is sure to rip with entrancing energy.

Snacking is the bleeding emo hearts soaked in punk rock persona. The local favorites for slow-jams bursting into rapid-licked energy are the example for how to build existential emotion within the sound itself. Experience the post-rock instrumentals and expect a thorough grasp of your essence the moment “I Don’t Want To Live On This Planet Anymore” surges.

Permanent Makeup dances the line between avant rock and post punk. Creative and catchy, “Space Race is Dead” is the irresistible surfy jam that I hope the Tampa Bay stompers blast from their new album Taker. I’ll be head banging through every booming second of this set.

Goodnight Neverland is the ambient energy that sends washing waves of alt-indie washing over St. Petersburg. Their gorgeous vibes reach even local radio airwaves, asserting their presence as swoon-inducing soul-crooners. You’ll wish for it, but even Goodnight Neverland “Can’t Stop Time,” but you may experience it for just the slightest moment in their live set.

Fictional Friends are the eccentric indie rock echoers of the lot. Alternating classic rock bounce and meditative rolling sensitivity, the band is as diverse as it is creative in sound. If the Black Keys could get any more indie and rocking, Fictional Friends would be the superior answer.

Need more psychedelic exposure? Veiny Hands offer the best dosage in “Tonguing,” a simply catchy indie bumper. At times dark, the Don’t Stop spotlight will illuminate this gorgeously glooming act and elevate higher in the local scene stage.
