The iconic two-piece band concept conjures the picture of idealized rock rawness. But The Imposters — a staggeringly high-functioning duo who’ve collaborated with King Crimson’s Tony Levin, Zappa, Porcupine Tree, Stereolab and Natalie Merchant Band — shatter that image.
The dancers will perform choreography by Ryan Page, Christopher Ryan, Ellexis Hatch, Dante Lewis Fernandez, Corinne Hidar and Nataniel Alvira. The intimate M.E. Theatre is a suitably intimate stage on which to witness these innovative locals confounding one’s expectations of the body’s limits.
So Anthem downtown is going all-in on this experiment with a drag lunch featuring fearsome local talent Puerto Rican drag artist and RuPaul’s Drag Race competitor Kandy Ho. Local talent includes the ferocious quartet of Mala Mía, Black Magix Royal, Amaya Scandall and Jezy Galore. Shows are at 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., with a…
It’s hard to ignore the link between newly opened Zola Bar & Tables and 19th-century novelist Émile Zola. There’s the name, of course, but there’s also the floor-to-ceiling photo of the Frenchman eyeballing you when you open the restaurant door. It lets you know: The past is very present here.
The quartet of James Thome (drums), Jimmy Kildea (guitar, vocals), Lucca Colucciello (guitar) and Sean Laing (bass) are rocketing. And as brand-new sophomore album Something Cosmic reveals, they’re also a band that’s crystallizing. With it, Walking Blue reemerge notably more concentrated.

The song cycle by Tony Award-winning lyricist and composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade, Bridges of Madison County) was his first major production in NYC. It is not a play or musical theater, per se, but a series of thematically connected songs all dealing with “moments of decision” across history and culture.
Of today’s endless mashups, Miami’s Mr. Floyd Larry has one of the most irresistible. His melodies are airy, light and tight. His moods draw from dream-pop, post-punk and shoegaze. Together, it’s an indie bedroom fantasy.
And now the traveling feature-length sizzle reel that is CatVideoFest is back at the Enzian for four screenings. Essentially, it’s cats caught in feats of acrobatics and derring-do, cutely hamming it up, and even showing heartwarming affection. Even better, you don’t have to worry that you’re enjoying a video that was AI-generated.
Leading Orlando underground music imprint Popnihil will be in full flex with this label showcase. Topping the marquee is Putrid Fauve, the Orlando provocateur whose performance art and harsh noise blur the edge between the sensual and the grotesque. The primary cause of the night will be Popnihil’s cassette release of Putrid Fauve’s brand-new album,…
Devo, unlike your faithful correspondent, have elected to not stop, drop and go fetal in frozen horror. Casale himself has of late released solo single “Just Do It,” a spiky, angular DAF homage that he calls “my little celebration of the fact that we have a homegrown tyrant.” And the collective Devo — currently Casale,…
The harmonizing of opposites is artfully evident. These galvanized steel structures are poetic and almost delicate. The steel is the opposite of imposing and powerful; it is in turns organic and evocative of the same nature it is usually employed to devour and conquer.
When the Orlando Shakes production of Come From Away opens on Wednesday, Aug. 26, audiences will step into a story that is as moving as it is deeply human.

This year’s celebrity roster features partial cast reunions from The Hobbit, The Highlander, Mortal Kombat, and Randy Quaid from National Lampoon’s various Vacations, as well as (get ready for these next four) Delta Burke, Patrick Warburton, Kate Mulgrew and John “Cliff Clavin” Ratzenberger. But then things get really wild in the form of musical guests…
