A promotional outdoor photograph of the band Deadborns featuring Jasmin Deja, Drew Giordano, and Lindsay Martin posed at sunset. The three band members stand outdoors in a row before a low wooden fence under a dramatic, cloudy sky illuminated by warm, golden sunlight low on the horizon. On the left, Jasmin Deja strikes a dynamic pose wearing a dark leather jacket, dark cropped top, and high-waisted plaid trousers, with one hand running through long dark hair. In the center, Drew Giordano stands framed by the setting sun, wearing an open patterned short-sleeve shirt over a dark chest, light-colored pants, sunglasses, and a black hat while leaning slightly backward. On the right, Lindsay Martin poses with hands behind her head, wearing a dark patterned halter crop top, round sunglasses, and high-waisted mustard-yellow flared trousers.(L-R) Jasmin Deja, Drew Giordano, and Lindsay Martin of Deadborns.

Deadborns is going on a long weekender Florida tour, and the band’s hometown gets two chances to check in (and another in Sarasota if they really want it). One is a taped performance and the other happens at St. Petersburg’s Lighthouse DIY space (you’ll need to ask a punk, aka DM someone, for addresses on both).

The rollicking psychedelic-soul trio—featuring drummer Lindsay Martin alongside rock scene staples Jasmine Deja and Drew Giordano. A 2025 LP, Dream Dogs, is a dreamy collection of rock and roll that sounds like it was born in a southern California garage before it packed up its vintage amps and traveled to Nashville ahead of signing to Jack White’s Third Man Records.

Tickets to see Deadborns, The Jackettes, and Boygirl Girlboy at The Lighthouse in St. Petersburg on Saturday, July 25 are $10 at the door.
