Watts, Orlando’s homegrown hardcore outfit, are hitting the road. But before they venture off into the great unknown via I-95, they’re playing an Orlando show. Promoters The Coop and Montgomery Drive have organized a stellar sendoff, featuring bands from near and far: Life Chord, Zero Mob, Retina and Helvetica.
It’s been a little over a year since Watts released their EP, Slowly Conditioned (and sat down with Orlando Weekly to talk about it), but momentum is still very much on their side. With an origin story rooted in high-school friendships and a burgeoning local hardcore scene they are actively shaping, Watts are making their mark on the underground and putting Orlando on the map. Come witness some hometown hardcore lore being written in real time.
7 p.m., Monday, Sept. 7, Will’s Pub, 1042 N. Mills Ave., willspub.org, $22.21.
