10 Local Bands You Should Catch

They've been a Gainesville ska staple for years now. They've been commissioned to write a song for an independent film. They've performed at Gator Growl. And last summer, they won Ernie Ball's Battle of the Bands and got the opportunity to play alongside bands such as My Chemical Romance and The Offspring at the Vans Warped Tour.

With the release of their second full-length album, Thanks for Last Night, it seems as if its only a matter of time before the band is plucked away from Gainesville to go on to bigger things. Although switches in the bands' lineup throughout the years have changed the look of Ten 13 Concept, the quality of their performances has always stayed top notch. No doubt about it, these guys are entertainers. Thanks to their high-energy shows and notorious downtime banter, the band has collected some of the most loyal fans in the scene.

Self-identified as "ska-core surf rock," the guys of Ten 13 Concept have been making their rounds in the Gainesville scene.  Although officially stationed in Orlando, Ten 13 Concept remains a strong presence in the Gainesville scene.  With twin brothers (lead singer Joe "Joe Lo" Loffredo and trumpet/trombone player Mike Loffredo) driving the music, enough energy to make the whole audience want to push their way to the front and skank for hours, and loyal fans, T13C has made an impression on local ska fans.
