At one point dur- ing the show, bassist Mario Lemus climbed on a tower of speakers, eventually throwing his bass across the stage. Next month, Ladyboy will release new music in the lead-up to the band’s upcoming EP, which was recorded last year. Recently, the band has been performing outside the Magic City in New York City, New- ark, and Baltimore, with Ladyboy hoping 2025 will mark its West Coast debut. Mold!: Since relocating to Miami from Peru in 2018, musician Carlo Barbacci founded the noise rock collective Mold! with dreams of bringing a new sound to the 305. Alongside friends and collaborators, Barbacci has re- leased the albums No Silence! in 2020 and 2023’s self-titled record. Mold! has been tour- ing relentlessly around Florida and the East Coast, playing festivals like Winterland, III Points, and Bumblefest. This year, the band will release its third album, with the first single coming in April with a music video directed by Miami filmmaker Michael Ruiz-Unger. Mr. Floyd Larry: Led by lead singer and artist Garvey Larrieux, Mr. Floyd Larry recently dropped its 15-track album Different Place and Time, offering a melodic blend of dream pop, shoegaze, postpunk, and funk. Following a performance at III Points, the band celebrated the album’s release with a show at ZeyZey. Af- ter two months of focused rehearsals, the band is gearing up to jump into the new year with upcoming shows in support of Different Place and Time. In February, the band will make its Chicago debut with Future Nobodies and Woof and then will head to New York City for the New Colossus Festival in March. Winded: In 2024, the emo shoegaze pop outfit Winded morphed from a solo project by singer and guitarist Thrin Vianale into a full band with the addition of Nick Cody (gui- tar and additional vocals), James Sturges (bass), and Gunther Schenk (drums). After releasing two tracks, “Wish on the Mezza- nine” and “Mercy 27,” recorded with Jon Nu- ñez at Sound Artillery Studio, the band is currently working on a third album, with plans to hit the studio soon.
