Thanksgiving is tomorrow, which means you have the day off, which means it's time to PARTY! Here's some music-related happening taking place on this Wed., Nov. 25, plus a peek at the giant holiday weekend in live music ahead.
Figure Joshua Gard is the EDM DJ/producer behind FIGURE, which he uses to pushing sinister bass music that’s heavy on dubstep and drumstep womp and synth fizz, much of his material monster movie oriented and even featured in a series of digital releases (the latest is Monster 6.66), this in addition to the full-length Gravity LP he dropped in July. This date finds him delivering his video show with support from Hudson-spawned Midnight Tyrannosaurus. More info and tickets here. (Amphitheatre, Ybor City)
The Gothic Gobble Tom Gold, the venerable Bay area DJ who regularly gets the bodies swaying at The Castle on Friday and Saturday nights, hits the decks at Orpheum for this very special pre-Thanksgiving (you have the day off tomorrow!) dance party featuring old school goth, industrial, synthpop, EBM, Dark Wave, New Romantic and other ‘80s sounds (Bauhaus, Velvet Acid Christ, Adam Ant, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo & the Bunnymen, Skinny Puppy, et. al). Free shots of Wild Turkey when you hear the ‘gobbles.’ (Orpheum, Ybor City)
