Redd Kross\u2019 Tampa ties are deep because of the late Eddie Kurdziel. <\/p>\n

The guitarist died in 1999, but not before laying down tracks for the Los Angeles power-pop band\u2019s biggest albums, Phaseshifter and Show World. Kurdziel was also in \u201880s local new wave outfit Real Cameras. <\/p>\n

Expect Redd Kross\u2019 McDonald brothers (Jeff, Steven) to talk about their comrade at this gig where Barely Pink\u2014Tampa\u2019s own, still active purveyors of singalong-ready pop-rock\u2014have been added as last-minute support.<\/p>\n

Redd Kross w\/Conan Neutron and the Secret Friends\/Barely Pink\u00a0\u00a0Wednesday, April 1. 7 p.m. $35.06. Orpheum, Tampa<\/p>\n
