Black History Month is right now, and this weekend the Punk Black Tampa festival celebrates mosh-worthy music made by melanized folks.

Two modern day heavyweights of Tampa’s rock scene top the bill (Pilot Jonezz, Bangarang), which also features Being Hvman, a trio featuring members of Samurai Shotgun, one of the wildest live acts to ever take a stage in Tampa Bay.

Orlando alt-rock band Lady Heroine makes the trek over for the gig, too.

Tickets for Punk Black Tampa happening at Crowbar in Ybor City on Friday, Feb. 9 are still available for $10-$15.
