A chaos goblin before the term entered the lexicon, Clanton’s live shows are high-energy, head-scratching affairs where he’ll crowd surf and talk to the crowd all while making everyone who bought a ticket forget what ails them. For extra credit ahead of the gig, dig into Clanton’s past projects—Kid’s Garden, Mirror Kisses, ESPRIT 空想—where music bounces around genres like shoegaze to synth-pop and downtempo. Valgur, a Mexican pop-noir duo, opens. Tickets to see George Clanton and Valgur at Orpheum in Tampa on Tuesday, Nov. 17 are still available and start at $41.70.
