On Sunday, the 43-year-old former Vinyl Fever employee toasts another milestone, Microgroove's third anniversary. Throughout the year, New Granada Records founder Keith Ulrey has been celebrating 20 years of his label with special releases from the imprint's roster. With Mrenc, Zulu Wave, Awkward Age, Meatwound Newer music is proof that some of the country's best indie rock is born right here in our corner of the Sunshine State, and this post-Thanksgiving gig is a good reminder of why. Pete Shuffle, a pre-Weezer show at the Mahaffey and even the Antiwarpt and Tropical Heatwave festivals. A long hiatus came to a surprising end in 2012 when Spiller frontman John McNicholas recruited Lukali's Vinnie Cosentino to play drums at a one-off Ybor City reunion show that actually spawned appearances at St. Their debut, Gold Leader, is a 30-minute blast of '90s rock perfection complete with a whole lot of Superchunk-ish pop-punk energy (Coward), Pixies chord-bashing (Satellite), and even some Ben Folds Five deadpan delivery (Crush). New World Brewery, 1313 E Eighth Ave., Ybor City. The One) and it'll be interesting to see if Craig's band can keep up with the musical gymnastics at this show. There are still big hardcore and punk breakdowns (Ashes.

Every track has a pretentiously long title, and some of the 41 minutes are definitely forgettable, but Craig, 41, turns in undeniable performances on songs like My Soul Is Empty and Full Of White Girls or Those Who Stand For Nothing Fall For Everything, where he employs aggressive vocals and dramatic melodies to channel nouveaux R&B crooners Bruno Mars or The Weeknd. The onetime Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance frontman is credited with giving his former bands a hint of soul flavor, and he really lets it loose on Slaves' debut, Through Art We Are All Equals. When he's not committing the band's sound to rigid alternative rock cliches (The Knife and the Army That Stands Behind Him) Jonny Craig is actually doing a good job of pushing the genre's boundaries in a new direction. The Graeffs have distilled songs from 2013 LP Better Half down to their very best versions, and they pull of their sound (sunny, optimistically dramatic, baroque) effortlessly. Ella's setup will put them front and center while diners scarf down bacon apple jam pork chops and crab-stuffed butternut squash. On Friday, the girls notch another unique stage into their belts. The sisters - who make up the core of Sarasota folk-pop quartet Good Graeff - came up playing New World Brewery's acoustic BBQ Wednesdays, and they've since played a spread of area venues (appearing everywhere from TECO streetcars to the the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in the last month alone).

Songs like Almond Grove find Cracker slathering layers of twang onto the narrative of a man who eventually ODs on drugs just to go "home" and meet his brother who "went to Kandahar" and "never came back." It's heavy stuff, and don't expect the band to shy away from new material at this show, but rest assured that Lowery and company will lighten things up with a hit like Low. Well, frontman David Lowery has really upped that ante on a new double album, Berkeley to Bakersfield. Cracker's sound is awfully country for a band that arrived loudly during the height of alternative rock's heyday (it was '92, and Kurt Cobain was on the verge of becoming a household name).
