by Leilani PolkRight as the concert season is slowing down for the holidays, Pelican Pop Fest 4 gifts us one more multi-band multi-venue party to look forward to. The bill of mostly Pinellas-based acts touches on a range of indie music terrain — synth pop, psych rock, punk, garage blues, experimental, alt folk, post-punk and more. The sole non-local is Gainesville’s Human Parts, led by Against Me! former bassist Andrew Seward sharing vocal duty with wife Verite, and featuring Whiskey&Co’s Kim Helm with spouse equivalent Andy Pants, and The Future Now’s Salmon Nason. The band — which issued a self-titled debut a few months ago — has an eclectic indie rock sound imbued with elements of power pop, punk and folk rock.
