SHOUT IT OUT: THE ISLEY BROTHERS
It has been six, count em, six decades since the Isley Brothers achieved pop immortality with Shout, the wedding-dance staple that put them on the global map in 1959. Ronald Isley can barely believe it. Everything we do now, its not like starting all over again, but its just such a great thing, the legendary singer and Shout co-writer said by phone recently. The crowds are incredible, all the sellouts. And the people, its just fantastic to make them see and feel everything that were doing. The Isley Brothers have put together one of the most influential careers of all time, shaping everyone from the Beatles (whose cover of Twist and Shout was inspired by theirs) to Kendrick Lamar (who put Isley on To Pimp a Butterfly), Jimi Hendrix (their onetime guitarist) and the Notorious B.I.G. (who sampled Between the Sheets on Big Poppa). Isley and his brother Ernie are the only brothers left in the band, but theyre still drawing crowds of all ages eager to hear hits like That Lady, Fight the Power and Its Your Thing. Even Shout can still get them all up and dancing. $35 and up. 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Mahaffey Theater, 400 First St. S, St. Petersburg. (727) 893-7832. themahaffey.com.
A fun footnote in Tampa Bays musical history: In 1973, the Grateful Dead played a concert at Curtis Hixon Hall; 20 years later the show became the first release in their Dicks Picks line of official bootlegs. The album featured stereo recordings of favorites like Truckin and Hes Gone, plus a rare cover of Blind Willie Johnsons Nobodys Fault But Mine. Earlier this spring, longtime local Dead cover band Uncle Johns Band served up tasty selections from the show at the Gasparilla Music Festival in Curtis Hixon Park, near where the Dead stood in 1973. Now, in a holiday treat for fans, theyll revive the concept in St. Petersburg in an attempt to play the whole show, start to finish. $20. 8 p.m. Friday. Palladium, 253 Fifth Ave. N, St. Petersburg. (727) 822-3590. mypalladium.org.
You cant talk Tampa death metal without talking Morbid Angel. Along with Obituary, Deicide and later Cannibal Corpse, theyve been slinging sludgy brutality out of the 813 since the early 80s. The lineup around reclusive guitarist and songwriter Trey Azagthoth has changed over the years longtime singer-bassist David Vincent, influential drummer Pete Sandoval and Hate Eternals Erik Rutan are all long gone but theyre still in demand around the globe. Theyre headlining this falls USA Sickness Tour alongside Swedish death metal lords Watain and New York group Incantation, both respected veterans in their own right. $25 and up. 7 p.m. Friday. Orpheum, 1915 E Seventh Ave., Tampa. (813) 248-9500. theorpheum.com.
The Outlaws are in the discussion for biggest Tampa Bay band of all time, rising to Southern rock hero status in the 70s and 80s on the strength of their hits Green Grass and High Tides and There Goes Another Love Song. Over the last few years, theyve started a successful local tradition with their annual Green Grass and Yuletide Jam shows, where Henry Paul, Monte Yoho and friends blast out hits by the Outlaws, Blackhawk and other projects. This year theyve expanded it to a two-night stand, with special guests Firefall (You Are the Woman) opening both nights. $39.50 and up. 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Nancy and David Bilheimer Capitol Theatre, 405 Cleveland St., Clearwater. (727) 791-7400. atthecap.com.
If you like your holiday parties with a little bit of edge, this is the show for you. Psychobilly punk survivor the Reverend Horton Heat returns to St. Petersburg for the 2019 edition of his Hortons Holiday Hayride tour, mixing spiky Christmas tunes in alongside his own popular tunes. Hell be joined by a bundle of similarly retro-minded acts, including the Blasters Dave Alvin, ska-punk vets Voodoo Glow Skulls and Japanese surf-rockers the 5.6.7.8s, arguably best known as that house band from the massacre scene in Kill Bill Vol. 1. Put a little peppermint in your Pomade, slick it back and duck-walk this way. $27.50 and up. 7 p.m. Saturday. Jannus Live, 200 First Ave. N, St. Petersburg. (727) 565-0550. jannuslive.com.
Tampa label and promo honchos New Granada have a lot of reasons to amplify this years annual Christmas night concert. For one thing, its the 25th edition. (Maybe a cover of Silver Bells is in order?) For another, its been an epic year for Pohgoh (pronounced pogo), the band featuring New Granadas Keith Ulrey on drums and his wife, Susie Ulrey, writing songs and singing. Since releasing their long-awaited comeback album Secret Club last year, Pohgoh have gone on tour with Jawbreaker and Mineral and even played shows in Japan. New Granadas got another much-anticipated album coming next year by local faves DieAlps!, and theyll play this show, too. So will the aptly titled Wreath, featuring veterans of punk outfits like Awkward Age and Vacancy. $10. 7 p.m. Wednesday. Crowbar, 1812 N 17th St., Tampa. (813) 241-8600. facebook.com/crowbarlive.
