Last month, the Recording Academy (aka the folks behind the Grammy awards) counted Vortxz among its “6 Rising Latin Stars To Know Now.”
FFO of The Strokes, the Houston trio was hailed for its “mix of new-wave indie, Rock en Español, and alternative rock,” and a dreamy track, “Esos Besos.”
Emblematic of the dynamic nature of Texas’ indie music scene, this no cover show is a chance to see Vortxz in a tiny venue, The Bends, alongside of of Tampa’s most energetic pop-punk outfits, Pet Lizard.
There’s no cover to see Vortxz play The Bends in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Nov. 15.
