Grab a show and some fishnets

Rock while you shop: Usually, heading over to Hot Topic means you need to pick up some fishnets or find an obscure band T-shirt. If you go tonight, though, you’ll be able to see one of Tampa’s up and coming indie-rock groups in action.
With their mussed hair and poppy and catchy lyrics, the boys of Woodwork have the capability of blowing up big quickly. If you’re into bands like Panic at the Disco!, you’ll definitely want to give these guys a listen to.
While Hot Topic might seem like an odd venue, it should be interesting to see how the concert is set up. Just be prepared to fight your way through scores of screaming 14-year-old girls.
Worse comes to worse, You can have some cool music to listen to while shopping for a Lynard Skynard shirt for your dad.
The Woodwork will be playing at International Mall’s Hot Topic, 2223 N. West Shore Blvd. Tampa, tonight at 7 p.m. The concert is free so don't worry about bringing any cash (unless you want to shop).
