But the second one is of particular local interest because it also features the reunion of Yogurt Smoothness, the hard-rocking homegrown duo who were reviving true grunge \u2014 not fucking post-grunge, mind you \u2014 two decades before it was en vogue like it is now. <\/p>\n<p>To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Yogurt Smoothness are reconvening to slay again. Even better, the band tells me that this reunion might not be just a one-off. But this is the only one confirmed thus far, so don\u2019t sleep. <\/p>\n<p>7 p.m. Monday, March 2, Will\u2019s Pub, <a href=\"http:\/\/willspub.rog\" type=\"link\" id=\"willspub.rog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">willspub.org<\/a>, $15-$20.<\/p>\n<p>Orlando\u2019s daily dose of what matters.
