It's a tour that has made a hundred bands careers. It's also left more than one fan with a broken arm, a fat lip and a story to tell the grandkids. This years tour boasts over 40 bands that will show up, drip all over the stage and then walk off only to reappear in the slurpee line right behind you and your new WTG (warped tour girlfriend).
If you have the time, it's probably a show you should attend and the whole shizbang comes to Florida for four dates starting today.
The tour moves along the upside down boot as follows:
Orlando > St. Pete > Miami > Elkton (has anyone ever heard of Elkton?)

I was never a fan of John Mayer. He made everything look too easy. His fingers cross the frets easily as if he hasn't ever put a moment of thought into it, and he dates the most beautiful women on the planet earth. Yeah, I hate him. Hated is probably a more accurate tense.
I recently made a trip to St. Louise to hang with some friends who's musical taste far supersedes mine and they opened my eyes to a small band called the John Mayer Trio. The ease at which the sounds encountered the drums of my ears was so pleasant that I scarcely noticed I was listening to my arch rival JM.
Since that trip I have converted, and I can honestly say Mayer is a true genius. His latest album (that also happens to be a film) is titled "Where the Light Is" and it boasts 19 live tracks from the Nokia Theater in Times Square. It covers Mayer solo as well as his trio and is a mistake free blend of lovely resting upon my dome like a hat made of cotton candy.
If you have a mellow bone in your body you should pick this album up, and listen. I don't mean shove it into your car's CD player and pump it, I mean throw on your Bose noice cancelling headphones, lay on your back in a field of daisy's and listen. It might just change your life.
For some reason we don't get many top notch shows in P'city. I know, I know some would argue that we get some of country music's finest and I would agree, but what about those of us who find country music akin to stubbing our toe on a cheese grater?
I guess that's where Club LaVela comes in. Flying in some of hip hop and rocks dopest acts simply to rock your face off and then head to the next show. That's true love people!
So, if you're not doing anything this Saturday you should probably carry your tired hard working self down to the show, you will leave without a face, but come on lets be honest, your face isn't that great anyway.
INFO:
Doors
open at 7pm. Opening acts TBA will go on at 9pm. Tickets are
available here at Lavela, our website, FYE locations and Purple
Haze/Heat Wave locations.
