Blood Moon Ball: Six Bands at Will's Pub

Blood Moon Ball turns Will's Pub in Orlando into a six-band showcase put together by Blood Moon Bookings. The bill spans the heavier and dreamier edges of the underground — shoegaze, screamo, hardcore, deathcore and more — with May We Cross in Dreams, Echolalia, nursing., No Clue, Descry and Black Hills each bringing a different sound. It is the kind of mixed bill that rewards fans of loud, melody-conscious bands who want a broad taste of the local scene.

The show is all ages, so there is no barrier for younger listeners who want to catch these bands up close. Set in the pub's familiar atmosphere, the evening keeps the focus on the music as each act takes the stage in turn. For a single night out on Mills Avenue, it offers a handy cross-section of alternative styles without having to hop between rooms.
