From the very beginning, Dorian Electra Fridkin Gomberg has made subversion a convention of the experimental-pop they make.

Their first brush with fame came at the hands of a single that invoked the philosophy of the Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek. An Australian philosopher, Frank Cameron Jackson, got a similar treatment on 2014’s ““What Mary Didn’t Know,” and by 2017 Dorian Electra was collaborating with Charli XCX (“Femmebot”).

Tampa Bay’s own We’re Sweet Girls collective does a DJ set before this sure-to-be-theatrical show which’ll find Electra bounding between bass music, piano and more.

Tickets to see Dorian Electra play Ybor City's Crowbar on Sunday, Sept. 29 are still available and start at $25.
