These days, popular male-female duos range from kitschy and cute (Matt & Kim) to downright strange (Die Antwoord). Hank & Cupcakes fall somewhere in between. Husband-and-wife team Sagit Shir and Ariel Scherbacovsky immigrated to Brooklyn from Tel Aviv in the hopes of spreading their music – an energetic blend of electronica and modern rock – to a larger audience. They got their wish, landing spots on the CMJ Music Marathon and Roots Picnic before booking extensive U.S. tours. Their last Bay area appearance came in the form of a pre-Antiwarpt Music Festival show outside of the Morean Arts Center in downtown St. Pete, so it’ll be nice to see their wild live set return to Ybor’s hippest dance club. $6 ages 21 & up/$8 ages 18-20
