New Beatnik Castle and Francillia video: 'Will U B Mine'
Beatnik Castle's lead beatnik, Thomas "QB Scovill" Garcia, has been pushing protoge and collaborator Francillia pretty hard over the past few months. They've popped up at various local music gatherings around Tampa Bay, including the Homemade Music Symposium in June, and they've really been hyping their single Will U B Mine.
Now there's a video for the song. The track is discotastic and glittery, and the video is, for the most part, appropriately stylized. A fierce-looking Fancillia dominates the video (and a playground swing), but QB pops up in places, like on the streets of Ybor City.
If you want to catch them live, they'll be at the World Peace Day celebration at Sims Park in New Port Richey on Nov. 7, then at the Ritz Ybor on Nov. 14 for Jeremy Gloff's CD release party.

Our 2008 Ultimate Music Guide featured the 10 best local bands, 130 more artists that we love, a SXSW photo gallery by Giddy Up Helicopter and more. 
In 2007, we profiled nearly 100 of the Bay Area's best music acts. See who was hot back then. Chances are, you're still rocking out to them today! 
Me thinks this is the next big thing in the Bay Area if not da world! The Rob Zombie and Rihanna combo is a definite winner! Their adorable, cute, original, different and phenom!! We're so fortunate to have a real winner here in Tampa!!

Possibly thee MOST talented outfit in the Bay Area if not Florida! Quincy B & Francillia are, indeed, a most unique, original and different Bay Area musical duo and its an utter mystery as to why commercial radio in the Bay Ignores such incredible homegrown talent!

Talented, beautiful, incredable voice the whole package and with producer Q B Scovill this team is going places. By the way I hear they lay down their recording tracks at PRO STAR Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, keeping it Home Grown but not for long....Much success to a fantastic team....
