Johnny Cakes & The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypso w/Fusebox Funk Finger-picking guitar work, steady-driving drumbeats, brawny frog-in-throat vocals and merry horns fill the punk, ska and rock-fueled music of St. Pete outfit Johnny Cakes. The steel drums shine in "Swimming in the Summer" and bring a tropical calypso mood to the reggae-rap number, while songs like "Long Island Iced Tea Island" reveal a band ready for a good time, some laughs and possibly a few tasty (alcoholic) beverages. ("Cheaper vacations in tropical locations, a tiger shark ate my girl / So I got me some whisky and a chick who was frisky, oh man, what a wonderful world!") The spirited army of musicians packs stages with a four-piece horn section and is joined by a trio of "jellyfish dancers" spreading mellow vibes around the room. (Crowbar, Ybor City) --VQ
Keith Wilkins of the St. Pete Live Music Bar Scene Examiner also posted a press release about the show which you can read here. This show is going to be a lot of fun; it's been about a year since we've played a show with Fusebox. Don't miss this one.
