Cruel Curses (single release) w/The New Brutarians/In Transit/Persephone's Choice
When: Sat., June 22 2024
Cruel Curses has an 18-minute single up its sleeve, which has a 12-second section of a repetitive low-octave synth riff and unsettlingly psychedelic vocals perfect for a terrifying moment in your weekend night ganja sesh. The Tampa-based rock quartet has kept the remainder of "How to Perform an Exorcism" fairly cryptic, but expect to hear bits and pieces of its self-described "creative intermingling guitars, groove-driven rhythm sections, and odd time signatures." A plethora of locals that experiment onstage and in the studio in similar ways are also on this St. Pete bill. —Josh Bradley
