COCK & BULL PUB Marian CD release show: Awestruck/Kristopher James/Superband Bradenton’s Marian began creating its floaty, jazz-fusion/indie rock tunes back in September 2006 and claim that “hearing it with your own ears is the only way to fully understand the beauty of their melodic compositions.” Many of their songs are instrumental and the ones that aren’t contain very limited vocals, perfect in-the-background-while-I’m-drinkin’ tunes. They will be releasing their music upon the world in compact disc form this Friday alongside Awestruck, Kristopher James and Superband. The show is $8 for age 18-20 and $5 for 21 and up. Superband’s Sam Robertson, featured on our Suncoast Summer Jam Sampler, almost made the cut: She’s 17. —Tim Sukits

TRANSITIONS GALLERY @ SKATEPARK OF TAMPA Yip-Yip There’s a reason why Winter Park experimental duo Yip Yip named their band after those wide-mouthed, googly-eyed, gibberish-muttering creatures from Mars who made their TV debut on Sesame Street: the yip yips likely would have made music just like their namesake band, freaked out electro straight from another world — likely overrun by robots. —Leilani Polk

The Juan Maclean plays at Crowbar Tues., May 26

TUESDAY, May 26
ACE’S Guys Night w/DJ Kinz & Vicca
CROWBAR The Juan Maclean/The Field His second full-length effort as The Juan Maclean, The Future Will Come, finds electro music artist John Maclean exploring new territory, adding vocals to music that was previously instrumental, inviting a roster of likeminded artists into the studio to write and record with him — Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel of Holy Ghost!, drummer Jerry Fuchs, and LCD Soundsystem’s Nancy Whang, who figures most prominently with her girlish vocals — and then taking his group on the road to bring their house-hoppin’ beats and funky disco grooves to the clubs. Also on the bill is another one-man electro band who comes all the way from Sweden to tour with Maclean: The Field, also known as Axel Willner, who makes an art of looping and sampling (and re-sampling) to the point of sound anonymity, his songs stripped-down and set against simple pounding beats. —LP
