The weekend is almost over, but the live music continues into the night. Check out what's happening this Sun., June 28 below.Betty Who with Coin Hailed as the next Robyn (likely because of her short bleached-blonde ‘do as much as for her sound), NYC-by-way-of-Sydney, Australia synth-pop songstress Betty Who. She’s supported the likes of Katy Perry and Kylie Minogue, and is currently on a solo headlining tour behind 2014 debut full-length, Take Me When You Go, lead-off single “Somebody Loves You” a sticky ‘80s-hued ode full of bright whirring synthesizers and pounding dancefloor beats.

Juicy J He isn’t a very depthy rapper, nor very quick or clever. Hell, if we’re being real for a minute, Juicy J kinda dumbs down whatever song he appears on, whether he’s holding court in his own club-bumpin’ hip hop tracks (“Bandz a Make Her Dance” and “Bounce It” are unabashed odes to strippers), or throwing grunts, hoots and syrupy verses as the guest in hits ranging from B.o.B.’s close-it-own club anthem, “We Still in This Bitch” (sample line: “I got your boo in my Bugatti / she ‘bout to swallow my babies”), to Usher’s chart-topping “I Don’t Mind,” an upbeat R&B pop ode directed at, ironically, a stripper (“I’m just tryna cut her up, tryna bust a nut / Tryna take somebody bitch, turn her to a slut”). This is not to say the Three Six Mafia spawn doesn’t have redeeming qualities. In fact, there’s something quite charming in the straightforward manner he seems to address his base needs, and his repeated references to bands of cash, ass cheek clapping and blow jobs demonstrate that he’s nothing if not consistent. (The Ritz Ybor, Ybor City)
The Nace Brothers with Wayne Sharp & the Sharpshooter Band Missouri blues rock staple the Nace Brothers (led by guitarist Jimmy and older brother drummer/soulful lead singer David) are the fourth generation in a family of musicians, and have been hawking grooves together for more than three decades, currently joined by bassist Paul Greenlease and Hammond B3 player and accordion slinger T.J.
