Dirtbike, which plays Oscura in Bradenton, Florida on Aug, 30, 2024.

Over 200 miles separate the Bay area from Boynton Beach, but it’s less than 50 miles to Bradenton. That’s the drive fans of smart, occasionally-silly, genre agnostic indie-pop are going to want to make for this stacked gig built around Palm Beach County’s Dirtbike which is still riding high on last summer’s Snug Harbor.

The six-track outing is a gem of Mark DuBois’ discography that finds him going full-on beach-pop for songs that sound like having mai tais on an old Hunter 30 while reading travelogues by Pedro Alvares Cabral. Tampa art-pop band Mtvh1n1 makes a rare appearance for this one alongside St. Pete outfit Chaunces.

Tickets to see Dirtbike play Oscura in Bradenton on Friday, Aug. 30 are still available for $15. Readers are invited to submit their own events to Creative Loafing Tampa Bay’s things to do calendar.
