The best new concerts coming to Tampa Bay, including Suzie True, Juvenile, Shrek Rave and more

Last Valentine's Day, pop-punk band Suzie True covered "Angel Baby" by Rosie and the Originals, and the Los Angeles trio has even more sweet treats coming for Florida this fall.

While passes for Gainesville punk bacchanal The Fest are sold-out, bassist/singer Lexi McCoy & co. have plans to extend their trip into Florida with four additional Sunshine State dates including one in Tampa.

Tickets to see Suzie True play Deviant Libation in Tampa on Wednesday, Oct. 23 are on sale now for $15. Golden State rock band Walter Etc. opens the show.

Suzie True's April single, "Leeches" is a two-and-a-half-minute blast of power-pop complete with a call-back hook and arrangements reminiscent of the bounciest parts of the Dum Dum Girls catalog.
