A black-and-white photograph capturing an atmospheric, smoky outdoor live music performance by the band LMH. Framed through a wide shot, three band members are positioned behind a long folding table set up on a small grass stage, surrounded by equipment. The musicians appear as soft, slightly obscured figures amidst thick theatrical fog, with two standing on the right and one leaning over equipment on the left. The stage is flanked by two large, black PA speakers on tall tripod stands. Strung overhead are glowing warm patio bulb lights, partially obscured by the leaves of a large overhanging tree. The foreground is dominated by a dark, grassy lawn, creating a distinct contrast with the illuminated, hazy stage setup.LMH Credit: c/o Justin Myers

Separately, Steven Head, Eric Lanham and Nick Mendez have always found themselves at the forefront of Florida’s most interesting, rule-bending, experimental pop projects, be it Heavy Mirrors, Moon Jelly or Acoqui (Head), Soda Gong (Lanham), or Nodal and Key Tides (Mendez).

Together, they mine dubby, textured bass and rhythms under the LMH moniker. Joining the trio at Tampa Bay’s upandcomingest DIY space, Learning.mp3, are Sector.FM selector and songwriter Fessi K along with the fellas from eco-techno outfit Akasha System. Alien House’s Justin Myers Myers rounds things out, with visuals handled by Small Moments curator Squiz J.Kop.

Tickets to see LMH Play Learning in Clearwater on Saturday, July 18 are still available for $10.
