FL Rules Pre-Show: Awkward Stares w/Defrauded/Highest Crow/more

Because every city needs songs about its local venues, Zeiler Lucas and his maniacal bandmates in Awkward Stares have a Sabbath-meets-Fang track called “Meet Me at the Brass Mug,” which can turn even the fanciest of situations into a mosh pit. The rock trio headlines a pre-show for FL Rules—an also-stacked, locally-built music festival taking place at The Noise Box in Brandon on Saturday—and even though this show will be indoors, don’t heckle the guys if they take their shirts off.—Josh Bradley

Stone Soup Company
1919 E 7th Ave., Ybor City
 One of the more seasoned businesses along Ybor City's bustling 7th Avenue took to social media to announce its abrupt closure in late April. “Effective immediately, The Stone Soup Company will cease operations. We would like to thank all the current and past employees, the Ybor and Tampa community, and our guests who have supported us over the last 13 years,” ownership wrote on the restaurant’s Facebook today. “We appreciated the opportunity to serve you all! Thank you!” The casual restaurant was known for its menu of Cuban sandwiches, empanadas, burgers, salads and of course, soup—which ranged from lobster bisque and chicken noodle to tomato basil and Spanish black bean. Beer, wine, and cocktails were offered, too. The Stone Soup Company’s original owner Ilya Benjamin Goldberg opened his Ybor City restaurant in 2009 and its reputation for tasty Cuban sammies and quick service grew over the years, as well as its sizable "Best of the Bay" award collection.
