Bad Santa and the Angry Elves kick off yearly ‘tour’ of Orlando stages this weekend

It happens like clockwork every year. Around the time Orlandoans start putting up their trees and Mariah Carey takes over the unfortunate FM airwaves, a fell and festive presence materializes on Orlando stages: Bad Santa & the Angry Elves.

For a small handful of gigs, generally between Thanksgiving and Xmas, the band wreak merry mayhem of a rockist variety. The band, led by what appears to be a recently laid-off and very pissed (in both senses) mall Santa, give a naughty once-over to a bunch of rock chestnuts, adding in all sorts of absurdist and blasphemous holiday references.

This show at the Abbey with the Chotchkies is the start of a local “tour” that also takes in Conduit, Will’s Pub, Ten10 Brewing and more.

7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 24, The Abbey, 100 S. Eola Drive, abbeyorlando.com, $20-$100.
