Stardom feels closer than ever for bedroom musicians, especially in a world where TikTok can make someone infamous for a few weeks.

Teenage producer Flyingfish found out about that after the shoegaze song “Wonder If You Care” (stylized all-lowercase) jumped off his DAW into virality three years ago (it’s now featured in hundreds of thousands TikToks and has been streamed more than 91 million times on Spotify alone).

Harsh Intention, a Virginia purveyor or harsher shoegaze, is among the openers along with Orlando emo trio Flowers For Emily.

Tickets to see FlyingFish play Crowbar in Ybor City on Sunday, March 22 are still available for $24.06.
