Johnny Dynamite and the Bloodsuckers w/Bedside Kites/Fessi K John Morisi is a lot like the rest of us in that he’s not afraid to express his love for a wide swatch of music. As Under the Radar points out, the New York songwriter touring right now with his band Johnny Dynamite and The Bloodsuckers is influenced by everything from Pet Shop Boys to Max Martin. On The Tale of Tommy Gunn, released in September via Born Loser Records, Morisi spins the tale of a Big Apple underdog who thinks he’s supposed to make it in Nashville, Tennessee. Over programmed beats, jangly guitars, city-pop piano, the saga unfolds, and it’ll be cool to see how the record plays out at this free show inside St. Pete’s swankiest dive bar.
Featuring members of Taking Back Sunday, Circa Survive and Grouplove, Fuckin Whatever is here to take you on a psychedelic pop voyage instead of emo nostalgia.
