Trash Boat did nothing but amaze the crowd at The Social over the weekend. Their blend of melodic hardcore and pop punk complimented the lighting and visuals to make for an exhilarating experience.

Enter Shikari does a marvelous job at mixing Alt Rock, Electronic Rock, and Post-Hardcore. These English lads compose electronic synth lines mixed with chugging guitars, that are more than worthy of a neck spraining headbang.
With Confidence in Orlando!
Glad our client, With Confidence, was in Orlando at The Social!
Performed an amazing show to a packed house.
Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Last night, Jackie and I had the opportunity to see our client, Ben Leftwich at The Social in Orlando.
Ben is very captivating on stage. His sense of humor is spectacular and he makes it a point to connect with his audience personally.
Black Tiger Sex Machine
Last evening I was back at The Social in downtown Orlando to see our client from Montreal, Black Tiger Sex Machine. BTSM, as their fans refer to them, puts on an incredibly unique show that combines a dark, electronica music style using a central DJ mixer, drum machines, and keyboards synchronized to a light show, especially the LED lighting on their famous Tiger Masks. Here is a short video of the experience:
As someone who finds himself becoming more entrenched with senior citizenry the older I get, I don’t have many opportunities to see many of our DJ clients perform; I am generally in bed before they get on stage. However…I wanted to see the masks! The audience went nuts when the masks lit up. I was absolutely fascinated. It was amazing watching the sold-out crowd react to the production effect too.
Fans of BTSM were treated to an impressive show, with Dabin, who opened the evening followed by Apashe; both of those artists working the crowd into a frenzy for BTSM to hit the stage. What a great show!
Skinny Lister Goes Social!
No, we’re not talking about Facebook, Twitter or crumpets and tea out in some English countryside estate. We are talking about The Social, Orlando’s oldest currently active venue for shows – built in the 1920s. It has gone through a lot of ownership/management changes throughout the years but it still stands strong. This was the first time I’ve had the opportunity to be in the building since, well, I probably had hair; I’m guessing over 25 years ago.
The Social was a perfect venue for our client Skinny Lister. They are one of the most fun groups we have seen in years. Here’s a good way to describe them:
Skinny Lister had disembarked the Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog Cruise out of Miami on Monday. The Social had over 50 cruise passengers that followed the band the 235 miles up to Orlando to watch them perform again!
This group is a British Folk Musc band from London and they are just great fun on stage to watch. I encourage everyone to go see them.
ROAMin’
Last night Jackie and I ventured into Downtown Orlando on a Saturday night for the first time in quite a while. Our new client from the UK, ROAM was performing at The Social. We knew they would hit the stage at 7:00 and they would be one of the opening acts. As it was a rainy night, Jackie decided we should get there a bit early. That turned out to be a spectacular decision as the house was full by 6:30PM. This tour is their first trip to the US and the crowd appeared to be there specifically to see them perform. Their style of music is described in Great Britain as Pop/Punk and it was fantastic. A couple of folks asked if Jackie was their mother and I was their grandfather…….We had the opportunity to meet the guys and spend some time with them. Great guys. Based on the crowd’s reaction, they will be back in the US soon and you can follow them from their Facebook page.
Here are some photos from their visit and performance in Orlando:
