As a poet, Dennis Amadeus is a full-on force on the mic. Now he's got a band.

Wolfgang Amadeus finds the Growhouse Collective co-founder channeling a lot of his poetic fire into hard-rock ("Rage"), but songs like "First Chance, Last Chance" wear some of the medlic and carefree energy of movies like "Dude Where's My Car," too.

Amadeus—together with drummer Denny Umphreys, guitarist Zach Katz and DJ Afro Blanco, and Austin O'Neal on bass—stage a live debut where Kyah Robinson and Cozy In the Black play support.

Tickets to see Wolfgang Amadeus play Hooch and Hive in Tampa next Saturday, Oct. 12 will be $10 at the door.
