Ronnie Stone brings a taste of NYC filth to Orlando

Despite a name that brings to mind a particularly ill-humored Studio 54 fill-in doorman, NYC-based (duh) Ronnie Stone is better suited to soundtracking a glittering and glistening dancefloor than gatekeeping it. Stone crafts immaculately filthy champagne synth-pop that conjures up Suicide’s second album, “Send Me an Angel,” Buddy Crime, the Cruising soundtrack and Soft Cell at their most perverse.

Stone is currently out on the road touring behind crystalline new album Ride Again, full of songs perfect for sunglasses at night and endless clubbing at the end of the world. We dug his previous efforts in Ronnie Stone & The Lonely Riders, but this record seems like his “Tainted Love” breakthrough is imminent. Don’t sleep on it.

Opening the night are excellent locals Alien Observer and KT Kink.

7 p.m. Tuesday, May 7, Will’s Pub.
