¶ Stoolies and thugs
As an elder, I’ve lived through many political crises in this country — but I have never seen an attack on our democracy like this. In the past, there was bipartisan opposition to lawlessness. Today, the guardrails are being dismantled before our eyes, and we must sound the alarm.
Donald Trump has more than demonstrated himself to be an immoral person, a corrupt businessman and a fraudulent president.
We must stand up to the idiocracy running our country. We must all contact our lawmakers to demand they stand up to the Trump administration and his stoolies and thugs. Our democracy is in peril!
— Elizabeth Kelch, Patrick AFB
¶ Reading is fundamental
Previously, the Institute of Museum and Library Services has provided necessary funding and administrative aid to museum and library programs across America — funding that is threatened by President Trump’s Executive Order of March 14, 2025. This Executive Order threatens many worthy organizations and programs, including the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness and the Minority Business Development Agency, among others.
Each of these organizations is worthy in their own right, but after reading about how the Executive Order in question impacts Americans, it is the threat to the IMLS that concerns me most. Here are five important functions of IMLS that America risks losing if funding is not restored:
· The Institute commissions reports and funds research on literacy development and family literacy programming. Recently, they published
[ your words ]
Research on Motivation, Literacy and Reading Development, which summarizes recent research so that we can better understand what strategies emphasize motivation when promoting reading, evidence-based practices tied to increasing motivation, instructional practices and family engagement activities. Family literacy programming is crucial for ensuring that every member of a community can participate fully in public life.
· The Institute provides grants which are used to help fund the digitization of local historical records, career training, and projects studying American industry, the founding fathers and more.
· The Institute supports every one of our 50 states, D.C., American territories and Freely Associated States with tools like access to instruction, which is aimed at coordinating American information services.
· The Institute collects and maintains data on public services provided throughout the United States in the form of library and museum programming.
· One of the most interesting programs I learned about in looking at IMLS is a partnership with the National Park Service. Through this partnership, the Institute funds the preservation of artifacts from landmark events in American history — like lunar rockets, 19th-century military forts and Catholic cathedrals, and the first known successful submarine.
I am not a librarian, but I’m so proud to know more about the remarkable work IMLS does to preserve the American tradition and coordinating information at a national scale. There has never been a more important time to fund such programs.

SeaWorld
fined after trainer injured by orca, Republicans in the state house proposed permanently reducing sales tax, Republican-led Florida to be among states hardest hit by proposed Medicaid cuts and more news you may have missed.
BY CHLOE GREENBERG AND THE FLORIDA PHOENIX
» SeaWorld Orlando fined after orca whale injured trainer SeaWorld Orlando is facing a fine from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration after a trainer was injured while interacting with an orca whale in September 2024. OSHA launched an investigation of the aquatic theme park that revealed the trainer was not properly protected while working with the whale. The investigation prompted the agency to issue a general duty clause serious citation for allowing employees to work closely with the animal. Exercises exposed trainers to the “potential for bites, struck-by, and drowning hazards,” the investigation found. OSHA has proposed a fine of $16,500. SeaWorld Orlando was most notably the subject of an OSHA investigation in 2010, when park trainer Dawn Brancheau lost her life after being dragged into a water enclosure by male orca Tilikum, the park’s largest whale at the time, during a “Dine with Shamu” show. OSHA issued three violations against the park totaling $75,000 in 2010. SeaWorld disputed the citations.
» Florida House leaders wants to permanently reduce state sales tax (gasp!) Amid Florida’s affordability crisis, Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez has proposed a significant cut in taxes charged by the state, but it may come with a price tag that could force legislators to enact deep spending cuts. Perez announced a plan to reduce the state sales tax rate from 6 percent to 5.25 percent, which, if successful, would save taxpayers nearly $5 billion annually and put Florida on the map as the only state in the nation to permanently reduce its sales tax. The details of the proposal were not made publicly available at press time. Gov. Ron DeSantis also proposed eliminating the tax in his recommended budget for the upcoming year, and has also proposed eliminating property taxes. That, however, would require voters to approve a change to the state constitution. Florida House Democratic leader Fentrice Driskell argued that Perez and DeSantis are “both jockeying for position with the voters but we don’t have the information to know, is this a good thing?”
» Republicans propose constitutional amendment to create Florida DOGE Florida Republicans are reportedly enamored with the idea of duplicating President Trump’s and Elon Musk’s DOGE system to eliminate perceived waste and fraud in government bureaucracy. That includes a proposal to put a constitutional amendment on the 2026 ballot creating a new Cabinet-level position called the Commissioner of Government Efficiency, an officer who would be elected by the voters to investigate and report on fraud, waste and abuse in state government. The proposed amendment would eliminate the Florida Auditor General’s position and the Office of the Lieutenant Governor. A panel of Florida House lawmakers approved the joint resolution (HJR 1325) last week, but only after an hour of intense questioning by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle as to whether the proposed office was necessary. Republican Rep. Tyler Sirois, a co-sponsor, promised the office would apply “more of a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer.” Florida already has the smallest state workforce per capita in the country. Sirois said what makes his proposal different from the federal model is that the measure comes with an opportunity for voters to repeal the position — although not until 2044. The proposal received strong pushback from Democrats. “DOGE, as it currently stands, has been a trainwreck,” said Orlando Democrat Rep. Anna Eskamani. “Look at the federal government, at what Elon Musk has done in firing civil servants for no reason beyond a preference to fire them.”
» Bill making it harder to put citizen-led constitutional amendments on the ballot advances
Meanwhile, a separate bill is advancing that could make it more difficult for citizen-led initiatives to get on the ballot. (State legislators, the vast majority of whom are Republicans right now, can also place measures on the ballot.) HB 1205, sponsored by Republican Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, would make a series of changes to the state’s already extensive initiative-gathering process. It passed on a party-line vote after more than two hours of sometimes intense reaction in public testimony. Persons-Mulicka told the committee that the initiative process was “broken,” and thus reforms are required. As justification, she cited a recent report produced by the Office of Election Crimes and Security asserting that more than 100 representatives of the group attempting to pass a ballot measure last year to expand abortion rights in Florida committed crimes related to gathering petitions. But Democrats and the vast majority of those who spoke during the hearing were critical of the
legislation, which they said would effectively kill the citizen-led amendment process. Among other things, the proposal would shorten the deadline by which petitions must be delivered by the petition sponsor to a supervisor of elections and increase the fines for delivering late petitions. It would also require all petition circulators — volunteers as well as paid staffers — to be residents of Florida. There are various other petitions that have sparked concerns — we’ll keep you posted on where that proposal goes moving forward.
» Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP could cause crushing impact on Florida’s GDP
A new analysis of potential budget cuts for safety net programs such as Medicaid and food aid provided to low-income families finds the impact could be crushing and far-reaching in Florida and elsewhere. The new report from the Commonwealth Fund and the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health estimates that Florida could lose nearly 45,000 jobs in 2026 and see its overall gross domestic product shrink by more than $4.5 billion. The report projects the majority of those jobs — more than 33,000 — would be lost due to the Medicaid reductions as hospitals and nursing homes reduced their workforces. The remaining jobs would be lost from reductions to SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program. Medicaid is a safety net program jointly funded by the state and federal government that provides the poor, elderly and disabled access to health care. SNAP, too, is meant for low-income people, and provides monthly benefits through an Electronic Benefits Transfer card. While Florida has not expanded Medicaid to low-income childless adults, as is allowable under the Affordable Care Act, the analysis still concludes that Florida would be among the five states hit hardest by the cuts.
LIVING PROOF
Opioid-related overdose deaths in Orange County dropped 30 percent in 2024, new data shows
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
In step with a national decline in accidental drug overdose deaths over last year, the local Medical Examiner’s Office in Florida is reporting a 30 percent overall decline in fatal overdose deaths from 2023 to 2024 and a 37 percent decline in overdose deaths involving opioids, specifically.
Last year, an estimated 341 people in Orange County died of accidental drug overdose, down from 490 in 2023 and the county’s peak of 538 overdose deaths in 2021. Overdose deaths related to opioid painkillers, specifically, dropped nearly 50 percent, from 453 deaths in 2021 to 229 in 2024.
Dr. Thomas Hall, manager for the Orange County Office for a Drug-Free Community, attributes the decline to a “community collaboration” involving first responders, hospital healthcare providers, community-based substance use disorder treatment providers, scholars and nonprofit public health agencies.
The Office for a Drug-Free Community was first established roughly 25 years ago, back in 1999. Hall told Orlando Weekly it’s unique in that it’s publicly funded by the county, meaning it’s not reliant on private donors, nor limited by fluctuations in available grant money or the generosity of private entities.
Its initial purpose was to address the proliferation of heroin, while today they’re up against something much more powerful, and deadly if misused.
Illegally manufactured forms of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid about 50 times more potent than heroin, has been a driving cause of overdose deaths in Central Florida and across the United States. Just a small amount, equivalent to few grains of salt, can be deadly for someone who doesn’t have a tolerance for the drug. Because of its potency and comparatively low cost, fentanyl is often laced into other drugs bought illegally — such as cocaine, meth, heroin or counterfeit pills — often without the knowledge of the person buying or using the substance.
But public health campaigns, distributing naloxone (an opioid antagonist that can reverse an opioid overdose) and increasing access to addiction treatment in Orange County appears to be making a difference. Over in Palm Beach County, opioid overdose similarly plunged an estimated 46 percent last year.
“There’s a lot of people working on this,” Hall told Orlando Weekly in an interview. As someone
who’s worked in the field of mental health and substance use for 30 years, Hall said he’s seen a notable difference in how people these days are talking about fentanyl, thanks in part to public awareness campaigns like “One Pill Can Kill.”
There’s greater “anxiety” about finding fentanyl in pills sold on the street, he said, and a better understanding of where it can show up. Not everyone who dies from an overdose necessarily suffers from an addiction. For instance, a person may think they’re buying Xanax pills from a dealer — a drug commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders — but instead are buying a street drug that also contains fentanyl.
Data from the Ninth District’s Medical Examiner’s Office obtained by Orlando Weekly shows alprazolam (the generic name for Xanax) was involved in at least nine drug-related deaths in 2024, in combination with at least one opioid.
According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), five out of every 10 counterfeit pills tested by the agency last year contained a potentially deadly dose of fentanyl. That’s down from seven out of every 10 pills in 2023.
Most overdose deaths locally have occurred among people aged 35 to 55. But the proliferation of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply has also been a concern when it comes to teenagers who illegally buy or are otherwise exposed to drugs.
According to data from the local Medical Examiner’s Office, at least 12 drug-related deaths last year occurred among people age 20 or younger. Most of those deaths involved opioids, predominantly fentanyl. The youngest victim exposed to a deadly dose of fentanyl was just 4 years old.
But the landscape for broadening access to preventative and treatment strategies has, nonetheless, improved. Pandemic-related disruptions to addiction treatment, social support systems, and access to life-saving medicine like naloxone (also known as Narcan), fueled a devastating rise in fatal drug overdoses from 2020 through 2023.
Many people during the COVID-19 pandemic’s lockdown period were also using drugs alone, where they wouldn’t have someone to call 911 if they stopped breathing, went cold and clammy, or lost consciousness.
The availability of fentanyl has also notably decreased since the peak of the overdose crisis, according to Hall, who coordinates efforts to combat the crisis with both health and law
enforcement agencies.
While certain parts of the country have seen the emergence of illicitly-sold “designer drugs” like nitazines (a newer form of synthetic opioids) and xylazine (a non-opioid tranquilizer with horrific side effects), Hall said those drugs haven’t shown up as prominently yet in Orange County.
Xylazine wasn’t identified in any autopsy reports last year, locally, while nitazines were identified in six.
Orange County in recent years has leveraged funds provided by the state, and through national legal settlements with opioid manufacturers, to fund projects on both the treatment and overdose prevention side. The county expects to receive more than $50 million from the legal settlements alone over the next 15 years.
Under the direction of Hall, who serves as an administrator of the settlement funds, the county has contracted with nonprofits like Largest Heart and Project Opioid to give out free Narcan and fentanyl test strips — small strips of paper that can detect fentanyl in drugs.
According to Hall, more than 25,000 Narcan kits and 8,286 fentanyl test kits were distributed both online and at events throughout Orange County from October to December alone. Community partners, in partnership with the county, also held 146 training sessions, demonstrating how to use Narcan and fentanyl test strips.
On the treatment side, the county recently opened a medication-assisted treatment program at the Orange County Medical Clinic just west of downtown Orlando, in Parramore. The program, offering MAT for opioid addiction at no charge, prioritizes people with opioid use disorder who are underinsured or uninsured, and who have been involved in the criminal justice system.
People who are released from a jail or prison are at a significantly higher risk of fatal overdose compared to the general public. Setting an example for other communities in Florida, the Orange County jail became the first in the state to offer medication-assisted treatment — the “gold standard” treatment for opioid addiction — in 2022. The program has since treated nearly 600 people since.
“Of the people who died from an overdose in 2023 and were released from jail within the prior 365 days, none of them were involved with our MAT Treatment program,” said Dr.
Raul Pino, director of Orange County Health Services, in a statement.
The county also works with hospital systems like Orlando Health to provide medication for opioid use disorder (generally buprenorphine, also known as Suboxone) as an option for people who cycle in and out of hospital ERs for overdose or addiction-related conditions.
Medication-assisted treatment can help reduce drug cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and may improve a person’s likelihood of survival and recovery outcomes.
Hall confirmed that, flush with opioid settlement funds, they’re looking to expand these hospital programs, which served hundreds of people from October to December alone. He’s also trying to find more physicians’ offices in the community that are willing to help provide MAT to people with addiction once they leave a carceral setting or an inpatient hospital program.
Factors such as stigma can be a big barrier, he admitted, even among doctors. But with public education and awareness campaigns, the goal is that it will become easier to bring people onboard. Although the county saw a decline in overdose deaths last year, Hall said he wants readers to know,“Nobody’s asleep at the wheel.”
For his part, he said the decline only pushes him to work harder — because they’re seeing that what they’re doing in Orange County is working.
Nationally, drug overdose deaths have plunged roughly 26 percent since the summer of 2023, according to preliminary data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a federal agency that (like other federal health agencies) is bracing for potential cuts as a result of directives from the Trump administration.
“It is unprecedented to see predicted overdose deaths drop by more than 27,000 over a single year,” said Allison Arwady, director of the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, in a statement last month.
According to NPR, drug overdose deaths have been declining rapidly since the summer of 2023. Overdose death rates tripled from 2003 to 2019, according to the CDC, and increased an additional 58 percent through 2022.
The recent decline has been attributed to factors such as weaker forms of fentanyl circulating, broader access to Narcan, and the tragic reality that many of those most vulnerable to fatal overdose have already died, NPR reports.
Dozens of members of Congress have expressed concern that floated layoffs at agencies like the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, under the Trump administration, could undermine efforts to combat the overdose crisis.
According to CBS News, SAMHSA’s workforce — tasked in part with regulating opioid addiction treatment providers — hit a record low by the end of the first Trump administration. During the Biden administration, staffing increased substantially, the New York Times reported.

THE KIDDIE (LABOR) POOL
Some Florida Republicans express concern about letting ‘kids be kids,’ but still give the thumbs-up to a bill weakening child labor protections
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
After approving a new law last year that weakens Florida’s child labor protections for workers age 16 and older, Florida lawmakers are now considering a bill that would undermine these protections even further, including for children as young as 14.
Proposed legislation (SB 918) would nix state regulations that limit the number of hours and days per week 16- and 17-year-olds can legally work in Florida during the school year. It would also eliminate meal breaks the state currently mandates.
Currently, these teens can’t work more than eight hours per day, can’t work past 11 p.m. or before 6:30 a.m. on school days, and can’t work during the day on a school day, unless they’re enrolled in a career education program.
Fourteen- and 15-year-olds in Florida who are home-schooled, enrolled in virtual school, or who have graduated with a high school diploma or GED would also be exempted from existing work hour restrictions under the new proposal.
“What we are doing is lining Florida up with federal law. That’s what this is,” argued Florida Sen. Jay Collins, R-Tampa, the bill sponsor.
Under federal law, only minors 15 and younger have restrictions on the number of hours they are legally allowed to work during the school year, how late they can work — preventing overnight shifts, for instance — and how many days they can work in a row.
This makes the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, governing certain labor rights and protections, weaker than Florida’s current child labor statutes, which labor leaders and child welfare advocates pressured state lawmakers into strengthening decades ago.
“Florida law is better on this than the federal government’s,” said Dr. Rich Templin, lobbyist for the Florida AFL-CIO, appealing to the Florida Senate’s Commerce and Tourism Committee. “We urge you to stay with trusted, proven, free state of Florida law and vote no on this bill.”
The Republican-dominated committee nonetheless advanced SB 918 to its next committee stop in a slim 5-to-4 vote last Tuesday morning, despite concerns voiced by both Democrats and Republicans.
“I think we need to let kids be kids,” said Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, the only Republican to join Democrats on the panel in voting against the bill. Gruters similarly voted down another child labor-related bill last year that had provoked concern from child welfare advocates.
Gruters said the current system for young workers — which allows parents and school superintendents to waive certain child-labor restrictions — is fine as it is. Sen. Tom Wright, R-Ormond Beach, similarly said he had “concerns” about the bill, before voting in favor of advancing.
“I think we need to work on this more,” he admitted. “There are some concerns, and I too will be up to help try to move this along today, but I think we have a lot of ways to go yet on this particular bill.”
About a dozen people testified against the proposal in-person, with others waiving in opposition. Opponents cited concerns about the risks of exploitation, using children as cheap labor to fill the gaps for adults who are fed up with poor wages and working conditions, and sacrificing children’s health and well-being to appease corporate interests.
“This bill will allow 16- and 17-year-olds to work longer hours, putting their education, health and well-being at risk. This is not about opportunity. It’s about exploitation,”
said Jackson Oberlink, legislative director for the progressive coalition of labor and social advocacy groups, Florida for All.
Unlike adults, workers under age 20 can legally be paid a sub-minimum wage of as little as $4.25 an hour for the first 90 days of employment under federal law — less than one-third of Florida’s current minimum wage of $13 an hour.
now? I mean that’s how it used to be when I was growing up.”
“Make no mistake, the children who will suffer the most under this law will be low-income, working-class and migrant youth, the same communities that corporations already exploit,” said Oberlink.
Multiple investigations in recent years from the New York Times and others have exposed widespread exploitation of migrant and undocumented youth in Florida and elsewhere. Florida does not have a state agency tasked with upholding wage and hour laws, nor any department dedicated to protecting workers’ safety on the job.
The Florida Policy Institute — a progressive think tank that also opposes the bill—estimates there are over 110,000 teenagers in Florida’s workforce, already juggling school and work demands, who could be impacted by the bill. Florida lawmakers this session are also considering bills that aim to carve certain entry-level workers out of minimum wage requirements and undermine labor unions — key proponents of child labor protections.
“What’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time now?” asked Gov. DeSantis, leaving out the words “for less money.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, during a recent panel on immigration issues with President Donald Trump’s border czar, admitted he sees teenagers as part of the solution to the labor shortages created through the state’s crackdown on the hiring of undocumented immigrants.
“Yes, we had people that left because of those rules, but you’ve also been able to hire other people,” DeSantis claimed, according to reporting from the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald. “And what’s wrong with expecting our young people to be working part-time
“And frankly, we’re not talking The Jungle by Upton Sinclair,” he added, referencing the 1905 expose of dangerous and exploitative working conditions in meat-packing factories. “We’re talking about them working at Publix, at Piggly Wiggly, or jobs within the industry.”
A mission to expand parental rights in Florida, championed by DeSantis, has been a popular talking point in recent years to justify efforts to restrict books in Florida schools and to dictate what teachers can and cannot teach.
One of the “parental rights” movement’s key proponents, the conservative Moms for Liberty group, founded in Florida, waived in support of Collins’ bill on that Tuesday morning.
Alexis Tsoukalas, a senior policy analyst for the Florida Policy Institute, countered Collins’ parental rights argument. “It’s being said it’s about the parents and choice, but where in the bill does it say parental rights have to be secured before employers can overwork these teens?”
There is no language in the bill that would prevent employers, for instance, from scheduling a 16-year-old to work an overnight shift when they have school the next day, or from firing a 16-year-old who dares to say no to an overnight shift.
“Most teens looking for work in the state have it already, and 72 percent are currently juggling work and school. Meanwhile, Florida’s absenteeism rates are soaring, at their second highest level in 15 years,” Tsoukalas added.
Florida is one of a number of states that have moved to roll back child labor protections in recent years, despite upticks in child labor violations. Reporting from the Washington Post revealed in 2023 that many of these legislative proposals popping up in state legislatures are coming directly from the Foundation for Government Accountability.
“I think this sends a bad message,” said Gruters.
Sen. DiCeglie, R-Indian Rocks Beach, who nonetheless voted up the bill, admitted he shared “some of the same concerns” of his colleagues and “look[s] forward” to continuing “this very important conversation” on how to address concerns (through potential amendments to the proposal, for instance) moving forward.
Collins, the bill sponsor, however, dismissed colleagues’ concerns. He argued that his bill only looks to align Florida law with federal law, bolster parental rights, and offer teens more “flexibility” — a talking point fed by the Foundation for Government Accountability, a right-wing think tank, to the sponsor of last year’s child labor legislation.
“This is a parental rights issue,” said Collins, an Army combat veteran who said he himself grew up “incredibly poor.”
The Naples-based think tank — also reportedly behind efforts to undermine social welfare programs like SNAP, unemployment benefits and Medicaid — is funded in large part by billionaires like Richard “Dick” Uihlein, who’s donated to the campaigns of both DeSantis and President Donald Trump.
“This is not about corporations. This is not about demonizing small businesses or Publix or organizations out there,” Collins claimed in defense of his bill. “This is about providing soft skills in executive function, developing responsibility, sense of self and self-determination, learning personal finance, money management, assisting in growth in adulthood.”
The bill has a twin in the Florida House (HB 1225), sponsored by Moms for Liberty activist and State Rep. Monique Miller, that has yet to be heard by any committee.
Both will have to get the approval of three legislative committees, plus the full House, Senate and the governor, in order to become law.

WORKING CLASS HERO
Boff Whalley of Chumbawamba — 1980s anarcho-punks and 1990s Britpop stars — comes to town to read from his new memoir
BY MATTHEW MOYER AND NADEEM KHAN
For a time in the halcyon 1990s, Chumbawamba founding member and guitarist Boff Whalley was both an anarcho-communist punk and a worldwide pop star … and lived to tell the tale. That tale, and a lifetime of others, are in the mix of Whalley’s new memoir But: Life Isn’t Like That, Is It?
Whalley is currently living three more improbabilities: No. 1: He’s on a book tour with a “suitcase of books and an old guitar.” No. 2, he’s traveling America at a very tenuous time for our country; and No. 3, he’ll be making his sole Florida stop in Orlando at Park Ave CDs Sunday. Whalley promises to read from his book — while offering “jokes to fill the silences” — play a song or two from Chumbawamba, answer questions and sign books.
It’s a free event from this agit-punk icon and it’s perfect way to pry yourself away from your phone and maybe even give you a tiny bit of hope before another week begins.
We’re digressing, sorry. But is perfect fodder for a public reading: not a traditionally linear memoir, but a collection of autobiographical fragments and stories “punctuated by disruption, derailment and digression.” And Whalley has certainly lived one hell of a life. He co-founded radical U.K. punk collective Chumbawamba in 1982, a band who weren’t afraid to be loud and upfront about class politics, worker solidarity, anarchist principles and anti-fascism but welded to hummable harmonies and a catchy tune or two. In 1997 they rocketed to accidental international fame
on the back of a working-class elegy with a beat, “Tubthumping.” (Y’know, “I get knocked down / but I get up again / You’re never going to keep me down.”) Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of people, honestly.
When the Chumbawamba ride ended, Whalley branched out into diverse new avenues: writing, theater and founding the Commoners Choir, an ensemble that “combines political activism with singing.” Whalley as a creative force has always foregrounded activism and political critique in his work, but he never bores or harangues because he realizes “it’s entertainment, first and foremost.”
In lieu of the usual interview, we turned to Orlando raconteur, musician and bingo-master Nadeem Khan to pepper Whalley with oblique
7 p.m. Sunday, April 6 Park Ave CDs 2916 Corrine Drive parkavecds.com free
questions on our behalf. After all, Khan himself an old-line U.K. punk in his misspent youth and a longtime friend of Whalley appears in the pages of this book. “There’s a thread that’s connected us that can’t be unravelled,”Khan tells Orlando Weekly.
When in the book’s writing process does the title come?
Right at the very end. Like making an album. The book was called “Erm” for a while.
Do you think you’ll ever write a fiction book?
Yes, certainly. I’ve written various plays and musicals, so I should have a go at writing a novel. If you have any ideas for what it could be about, let me know.
Can anything really be translated from one language to another without the meaning being changed?
Well, it’s down to the translator, isn’t it? I’ve read and watched a lot of plays by Berthold Brecht, all originally in German but translated in different ways by both the translators and the directors and actors. Once it’s down on paper, then it’s up for grabs by people to do what they want, isn’t it?
Point in case: Pat Boone’s version of “Tutti Frutti” versus Little Richard’s. Also I love how rap and hip-hop have done versions of old 1960s and ’70s stuff and messed with it, transformed it and ripped it apart and put it back together again.
Try to explain poetry to me.
Poetry is just playing with words to take them somewhere else. Giving them rhythm and rhyme. This by Chuck Berry is poetry: “It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well / You could see that Pierre / Did truly love the mademoiselle / And now the young monsieur / And madame have rung the chapel bell. / ‘C’est la vie,’ say the old folks, / It goes to show you never can tell …”
After having lit a fire under someone’s arse do you walk away, or do you come back with more kindling?
If it’s someone who is selling electric cars and throwing Nazi salutes, then you keep coming back with kindling until the blaze really gets going.
Sunday’s event may be free but Park Ave CDs recommends you RSVP in advance through their website to guarantee your spot. And if we might offer similar preparatory advice, blast Chumbawamba’s “The Day the Nazi Died” to pregame more than a few times on Saturday. (And “Tubthumping” on Friday night, natch.)

Theater on the Edge exploded onto Orlando’s arts scene in 2016, earning instant acclaim — and my 2017 nod for “Best New Theater Company” — for their intimate interpretations of intense dramas like David Mamet’s American Buffalo and Stephen Belber’s Tape. TOTE’s trademark “cinematic” style, built on artistic director Marco DiGeorge’s Meisnerinfluenced acting and artistic designer Samantha DiGeorge’s hyper-realistic sets, birthed a series of theatrical experiences that were more akin to stepping inside a film.
But after a string of successes, the company’s output came to an abrupt halt after late 2022, because Samantha was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Thankfully, her cancer has now been in remission for a year, and TOTE is making an eagerly anticipated comeback with Anna Ouyang Moench’s Birds of North
America, running April 12-May 18 at their south Orlando studio.
The DiGeorges were rehearsing a short play for their Truthful Acting Studio, which provides most of the talent for TOTE’s productions, when Samantha first felt something wrong with her neck. “I thought I had strained it when I was yelling,” she recalled during my recent conversation with the couple. “Then I was like, ‘Hey, what’s this lump here?’ I thought I had pulled a muscle.” A CT scan, a biopsy, and a lumpectomy soon revealed stage 2 lymphoma throughout her upper body, which she combated with six months of chemotherapy.
“I went into fight mode. I was like, ‘All right, let’s do it. What do I gotta do?’ And I did it.”
However, surviving cancer came with some unexpected emotional aftershocks. “People are like, ‘All right, you’re in remission, congratulations! Let’s go back into life!’ And I’m like, ‘No, you don’t understand, this is rough,’” she shares, citing newly curly hair and depression as
play birding ecologist John against Elaitheia Quinn as his conservative daughter, Caitlyn, in the decade-spanning drama.
“It’s this father and daughter that have struggled to connect sometimes on deeper issues; they don’t really know how to talk to each other, but they find a commonality in birding,” says Marco. “It’s really a relationship piece based in a parent and child … the things that we want to say, but have a hard time saying.”
Initially, this two-character play was supposed to be staged on a black-painted floor with a few simple pieces of backyard furniture, but Samantha couldn’t resist procuring black velvet curtains, black carpeting and a mosaic patio table, creating what she terms “cinematic black box.”
“My hand started itching a little bit, and fire started just coming up inside of me,” says Samantha. “I started getting really emotional, and stuff just started coming up [and I said] can I just play a little bit, [and] do Sam’s version of black box?”
post-chemo side-effects. “But getting back into the theater has been amazing.”
For their first show back, TOTE is forgoing their signature cinematic style in favor of their version of a stripped-down “black box” presentation. The impetus for the aesthetic shift was saving stress on Samantha, who until a few months ago didn’t have the physical strength in her hands to close her fists. But it also gives the company an opportunity to put on shows more frequently than their usual labor-intensive style would allow.
“We started Theater on the Edge for the acting, not the cinematic theater that it turned into,” says Marco, explaining that they intend to mix-andmatch production styles going forward. “We can put the focus really on the performance. To me, in black box the acting has to be stellar, because you don’t have all the other niceties of everything else.”
The script for Birds of North America was first brought to TOTE by founding member and executive director Allan Whitehead, who will
Next up for TOTE after Birds will be this summer’s fully cinematic staging of Cormac McCarthy’s The Sunset Limited, a “novel in dramatic form” that will again feature Whitehead, this time playing a suicidal professor whose life is saved by a Black ex-convict, played by newcomer Daniel Bentley.
“It’s more of an existential type of experience, a discussion about life and death and what matters and what doesn’t,” says Marco.
That type of edgy material sounds tailor-made for TOTE’s ethos, which Marco passionately describes as being modeled on Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
“Even though [TOTE’s artists are] volunteering their time, the quality we want is as if we’re up on Off-Broadway [or in] Chicago,” says Marco. “I always say, would this be worth a $100 ticket if we were up in New York? And that’s the work ethic we want to put into it.”
Even more importantly, the theater has helped bring the DiGeorge’s joy and “passion” back, after several traumatic years. “I just want to keep having fun,” says Samantha. “I just want to keep being creative and having fun, and providing our patrons a full immersive experience.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com

FRENCH TICKLER
Chez Les Copains titillates the tongue with chef
DJ Tangalin’s spins on brasserie classics
BY FAIYAZ KARA
At the age of 13, chef Danilo “DJ” Tangalin was helping his mom make classic Filipino one-pot dishes out of a food shack in Baguio City. He’d grill skewers of meat, seafood and veg every day after school. On weekends, he’d make halo-halo by shaving a massive block of ice that he first had to lug from a wet market. The memories are clearly indelible for Tangalin. “I had the best time,” he says. “Cooking was a way of paying the bills — cook and sell what we can so we have money to buy food the next day.” And while he never thought he’d ever be a professional chef, the 40-year-old father of three takes his success in stride.“Transitioning to cooking as a career was natural,” he says. “I was classically trained under a French chef in culinary school and my first gig was under Eric Ripert.” Just Eric Ripert. No big deal.

adds a bit of smoked cream cheese into the mash. Forking up rich mouthfuls while staring at The Complete Robuchon sitting on a bookshelf above the kitchen window seemed as apropos as an order of steak frites ($35). After all, it features the second-most important potato preparation in a brasserie, the French fry. And these potatoes also pass muster. (Another Tangalin spin: The hanger steak comes coated in beurre vert, a beurre blanc infused with fines herbes.)
But there are better entrees to be had here, in my opinion: dry-aged duck ($45) thrice lacquered with orange glaze and served with a white bean cassoulet and duck confit; lemony amberjack meunière ($34) in a caper-laden beurre noisette (brown butter); and bouillabaisse ($36) with all local seafood — snapper, Cape Canaveral shrimp, clams — plus PEI mussels in a pearl-couscoused pomodoro sauce scented with bouquet garni and basil. All paired well with a Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling a friend procured from Arden next door. Chez Les Copains, you see, can’t serve alcohol until the whole City Food Hall opens (which always seems to be “next week”), so it’s BYOB until then.
OPENINGS & CLOSINGS:
Allure Lounge, billed as a “premium fusion world kitchen,” will open any day now at 13 W. Pine St. downtown. The restaurant and craft cocktail bar is a sister operation of Allure Rooftop Lounge in Cape Town, South Africa, and will serve globally inspired small plates … A few doors down, Curio Orlando, a New Orleans-themed restaurant by Bar None Creations (High-T, Cocktails & Screams), will open in the old Soundbar space next door to Cocktails & Screams this fall at 37 W. Pine St. Expect a spooky Crescent City-styled interior, and a menu serving breakfast as well as lunch and dinner. And, yes, there will be beignets … Look for Potbelly Sandwich Works to open a location in the old Signs Now space at 1003 S. Orlando Ave. in Winter Park … Juici Patties, the beef patty chain that started in Jamaica back in 1978, has opened its first patty shop in Orlando at 10376 E. Colonial Drive offering Jamaican patties in mild beef, spicy beef, vegan and spicy curry chicken types … Fastcasual Indian joint Tikka Shack Indian Grub is now serving its curry bowls, grilled kebabs, wraps, naan pizzas, biryanis and more at 1500 Alafaya Trail in Oviedo … After 23 years, Nagoya Sushi, a Dr. Phillips institution, will close April 26.
NEWS & EVENTS:
It’s a fitting name, Chez Les Copains, but if you’re expecting a facsimile of Brasserie Bofinger, Gallopin, Bouillon Chartier and other such Parisian bastions of Art Nouveau, don’t. “It all feels a bit staged,” said my dining copain about Chez Les Copains’ narrow dining room. And while the hand of Wayfair may have accoutered portions of this second-story space inside the City Food Hall, Tangalin’s dishes are a lot more stylish, be it the two-bite potato croquette nestled in a stellar remoulade topped with Maryland blue lump crab ($9), or steamed mussels ($18) in a sofrito-scented Danish blue cheese sauce.
That liquid is so revelatory, it ought to be made into a soup. I sopped up the sauce with the toasted brioche served with the escargots ($20), and used the house potato chips served with the mussels to hold those buttery snails instead. I know, sacre bleu. Hey, the only potatoes that really matter at a brasserie are mashed potatoes, aka pommes purée ($12); Tangalin
In the year he spent at the French chef’s now-shuttered 10 Arts at the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, he cooked alongside Michael Collantes, who was fresh off a stint working for Joël Robuchon in Vegas. The pair of Pinoys hit it off, became chums (copains, as the French say) and now, 15 years later, they’ve opened a brasserie of their own.
There were a few missteps. Garlic and a copious shaving of parm masked the flavor of mushrooms in the one-bite duxelles ($7) on toasted brioche; dull plating and an insipid vadouvan dressing didn’t make for a playful tuna crudo ($20); sweetbread bourguignon ($22) was hardly the comforting stew we expected but, confusingly, mashed potato streaked with mirepoix jus topped with braised thymus; and desserts, whether the too-sweet (though pretty) lemon tart ($13), overly dense chocolate cremeux ($13) or deconstructed apple galette ($13) without flakiness, didn’t quite stand up to the quality of the savories.
Some tiny gaffes are to be expected in such a new venture, and FWIW, that sweetbread bourguignon wasn’t on the menu when I revisited. A ginger-poached half-lobster cocktail ($28) had taken its place and — shocker — it won us over. So did the dramatic presentation of steak tartare and bone marrow ($24), a dish already making the rounds on TikTok and Instagram. Like the others, the dish is a testament to Tangalin, a third-culture kid confident in his abilities and proud of his heritage.
“I moved here when I was 16,” he told me. “English is my third language, but I still speak Ilocano and Tagalog.” Given his fluency with brasserie classics, he might want to add French to that list.

BEER MERICA AFTER DARK GUIDE
Beer ’Merica 2025: The Rise of Cannabis-Infused Beverages in Orlando
Mark your calendars, Orlando: Beer ’Merica returns on Saturday, April 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Gaston Edwards Park.
While this annual festival is known for its extensive lineup of over 100 complimentary craft brews and lively entertainment, including live wrestling, music, a Game Zone, a silent disco, local vendors, and food trucks, this year, the buzz (pun
intended) is all about something new— cannabis-infused beverages.
For the first time, Beer ’Merica is diving deep into the rapidly growing world of THC-infused drinks, bringing an exciting new frontier to the beverage scene.
But what does it actually mean to drink cannabis? Will you get high? Do these
drinks taste like beer? Where can you even buy them? Let’s break it all down, featuring insight from some of the leading cannabis beverage brands making waves in Orlando and beyond.
Cannabis Beverages
101: Do They Get You High?
Let’s get straight to the point: Yes, cannabis beverages can get you high. However, the experience is vastly different from smoking flower, vaping or consuming traditional edibles.
Unlike a slow-building, sometimes unpredictable edible high, THC-infused beverages are designed for a smooth, controlled buzz that kicks in within 10 to 30 minutes. Many compare it to the gradual effects of drinking a beer or hard seltzer rather than a sudden, overwhelming intoxication.
So, how strong are they?
Cannabis drinks typically contain between 2.5mg and 10mg of THC per serving, making them easily customizable depending on your tolerance. Some brands even offer microdosed options for a more casual experience. Unlike alcohol, there’s no hangover the next morning— a major plus for many drinkers making the switch.
Additionally, many cannabis beverage companies use fast-acting nanoemulsion technology, which breaks down THC into tiny, water-soluble particles that absorb more quickly into the bloodstream. This process results in a smoother, more predictable high compared to traditional edibles, which must be digested before taking effect.
What Do They Taste
Like? Beer? Seltzer?
Something Else?
If you’re imagining a skunky, earthy flavor reminiscent of weed, think again.
Cannabis-infused drinks have a crisp, clean taste, often described as a cross between flavored sparkling water and hard seltzer. Some brands craft THC cocktails that resemble traditional mixed drinks, while others stick to light and refreshing fruit flavors.
Beverage brands are putting extra emphasis on flavor innovation, offering everything from citrus-forward seltzers and tropical punches to herbal blends with subtle hints of cannabis terpenes. Unlike beer, which has a distinct maltiness, cannabis beverages often lean toward the refreshing, low-calorie appeal of hard seltzers and premium sparkling waters.
Do You Need a Medical Marijuana Card to Buy Them?
The good news: No medical card is required. Thanks to federal regulations allowing hemp-derived THC beverages, these drinks are available to anyone over 21 in Florida. You can find them at Total Wine & More, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, select bars, and even online.
This is a huge shift for cannabis consumers, who previously had to visit dispensaries and possess a medical card to legally purchase THC products. Now, with the 2023 Farm Bill legalizing hemp-derived cannabinoids, THC-infused beverages are entering mainstream retail markets, making them more accessible than ever.
How Many Should You Drink?
Unlike cracking open a six-pack of beer, cannabis drinks require a little more mindful sipping. Most brands
recommend starting with one can (or even half a can) and waiting 15-20 minutes to assess the effects before reaching for another. If you’re used to beer or hard seltzer, think of it like switching from light beer to a strong cocktail—you don’t want to overdo it or down it too quickly.
It’s important to note that individual tolerance varies, and unlike alcohol, where effects are relatively predictable, THC interacts with each body differently depending on metabolism, hydration, and food intake. Many brands offer lowdose options (2.5mg THC per serving) for those looking for a light, casual buzz.
Meet the Brands
Bringing THC Beverages to Beer ’Merica Wynk
Wynk is redefining social drinking with a light, bubbly cannabis seltzer that offers a gentle buzz without the drawbacks of alcohol.
Founded in 2021, Wynk was created to provide a light, social alternative to alcohol in states where THC beverages were gaining popularity. Originally manufactured in state-licensed dispensary markets, the brand quickly adapted to new regulations allowing hemp-derived THC, making their products available nationwide in retail stores. Wynk’s innovation includes a mobile manufacturing system that enabled them to scale across multiple states efficiently.
Their drinks contain zero calories, zero sugar, and no artificial sweeteners, making them a great choice for healthconscious consumers.
“We designed Wynk to be a light, social beverage that delivers a gentle buzz without the calories and sugar of traditional alcohol,” says brand manager Casey Coughlin. “It’s a perfect alternative for anyone looking for a sessionable drink with no hangover.”
One of the standout features of Wynk is its dual-dosage system, with cans available in both 2.5mg and 5mg THC:CBD 1:1 ratios. This allows drinkers to control their experience in the same way they would with beer or hard seltzer. The balanced THC-to-CBD ratio helps ensure a smooth, relaxing buzz without an overwhelming high.
3CHI
As one of the pioneering brands in the hemp-derived THC industry, 3CHI prides itself on purity and consistency. Founded by biochemist Justin Journay in 2018, the company started with a vision to create high-purity cannabinoid products, setting 3CHI apart from competitors by focusing on scientific precision and innovation. The brand was among the first to introduce Delta-8 THC products and later expanded into the growing cannabis beverage market.
“We focus on purity and consistency, making sure our drinks offer a reliable experience every time,” Journay says. “Many people find our 5mg beverages feel similar to drinking an IPA or a glass of wine.”
3CHI’s cannabis beverages are crafted to taste delicious and clean, resembling premium fruit juices rather than traditional cannabis products. The company ensures that each product is carefully formulated to provide a predictable experience, making it a favorite for both new and experienced THC consumers.
BEER MERICA AFTER DARK GUIDE
Find Wunder
Find Wunder was founded in 2018 in California, with a mission to create a better-for-you alternative to alcohol. The brand’s philosophy is rooted in the idea that cannabis can enhance social interactions without the negative effects of drinking, such as hangovers or dehydration. Early on, Find Wunder focused on developing premium THC beverages infused with adaptogens, recognizing the growing consumer demand for functional wellness drinks.
Find Wunder stands out by blending THC with adaptogens like L-theanine, creating a beverage that not only provides a euphoric high but also promotes relaxation and focus.
“We combine THC with adaptogens like L-theanine to create a relaxing experience that promotes euphoria without impairment,” says Skip Ragan, vice president of sales. “Our customers love that they can enjoy our beverages without the negative side effects of alcohol.”
The brand offers two unique product lines: Session (5mg THC plus 5mg CBD) for a milder effect, and Higher Vibes (10mg THC plus 10mg CBG) for a more pronounced experience. These drinks are designed to be sipped slowly, much like a craft cocktail, allowing consumers to fully enjoy their effects.
Climbing Kites
Climbing Kites was developed by Lua Brewing in Des Moines, Iowa, with a mission to create high-quality, responsibly crafted cannabis beverages. The founders recognized that the growing demand for alcohol alternatives required a beverage that was both enjoyable and held to rigorous quality standards. They built their reputation
by focusing on natural ingredients, precise dosing, and transparency in their manufacturing process.
Transparency and quality control are at the core of Climbing Kites, a premium cannabis sparkling water brand founded by Joe Johnson and his team. The brand ensures that every batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing to guarantee precise dosing and purity.
“Every batch of Climbing Kites undergoes rigorous third-party testing, and we pride ourselves on our zero-calorie, glutenfree, and vegan formulations,” Johnson explains. “Our goal is to set the standard for trust and quality in the cannabis beverage market.”
Designed for casual sipping, Climbing Kites drinks provide a light, wine-like buzz, making them a great option for those looking for a smooth and sociable experience. Available in refreshing fruit flavors, offers an approachable and enjoyable alternative to alcohol.
Drink Delta
Drink Delta was founded in response to the rising demand for legal, hempderived THC beverages following the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. The company recognized that consumers were looking for fast-acting, controlleddose alternatives to alcohol and set out to create a product line that met those needs.
Drink Delta is all about customizing your chill factor, offering both low-dose and high-dose options for a wide range of consumers. “Our 5mg Delta Light seltzers are perfect for stacking, just like you would drink light beers over the course of an evening,” says National Account Executive Scott Difford.
“For more experienced consumers, our 20mg option offers a deeper relaxation experience.”
What sets Drink Delta apart is its fastacting formulation, allowing consumers to feel the effects within minutes. Unlike traditional edibles, which can take up to an hour to kick in, Drink Delta’s beverages provide a more predictable and controllable high. These products are available at Total Wine and other major liquor stores, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a refreshing and effective alternative to alcohol.

Senses’ sixth year sees release of new EP and first headline tour bringing them to Orlando
BY JUNO LE
“Emo-friendly and punk-curious” — their words — rock band Senses are currently on the road in their first headline tour, dubbed “I’m Still Breathing,” and it’s bringing them to Orlando’s Conduit this week.
With support from MVSSIE and Negative 25, Senses take over Conduit Sunday. The tour commemorates the release of the band’s eponymous second EP, which dropped last month.
The Los Angeles-based band initially formed in 2019 when lead singer and guitarist Madison Taylor posted an ad on Craigslist.
“I was playing little shows by myself around L.A. and I just wanted to be more of that bandstyle again, so I put out a few Craigslist ads,” says Taylor. “I never used Craigslist before so I was like, ‘Well, this could go one of two ways.’ I put out an ad for a couple different positions and Nick was the first to respond.”
Conveniently, her soon-to-be bandmate, drummer Nick Sampson, was also scrolling through Craigslist at the same time.
“I just moved to L.A. and I was looking for
drum gigs wherever I could find them. And so I was looking on Craigslist for just music people because I didn’t know anyone. I came across Mad and I liked all of her influences she put down so I just reached out,” Sampson says.
Qualms over finding bandmates via Craigslist aside, the duo found an instant chemistry after a trial session jamming out Paramore songs in a rehearsal studio.
“He had sent over a couple videos of him drumming from the ad and I just remember being like, ‘Oh, he’s one of the more fun drummers to watch.’ He just moved a lot and it was so cool to watch his drum cover,” Taylor says. “When we got together, it just felt really natural, like there wasn’t any sort of weirdness. It was just kinda like two people trying to find other like-minded people and it worked out.”
Senses’ earliest touring experiences include support slots on Carlie Hanson’s and Leah Kate’s tours, both in 2023. “I’m Still Breathing” is their inaugural headlining run, an upgraded experience for the fans Senses has acquired along the way.
“We’ve grown a lot, I just feel like we know how everything ticks pretty much when it comes to just the RV, traveling, the gear and loading-in and soundcheck,” Sampson says. “Everything just runs a lot smoother than I think those first couple tours where you’re getting your bearings and seeing what works and what doesn’t work and really just fine-tuning everything. I feel like we’ve really just grown and elevated as a whole.”
The Orlando show is the band’s first time performing in Florida.
“I am very excited to go to Publix,” Sampson confesses.
Taylor’s grandmother, an avowed Senses fan, will finally attend her first show.
“My grandma lives there, so she’s never seen us on a tour before, so I’m really excited for her to be able to come to a show,” Taylor says. “She’s 98 and she’ll be in the pit.”
For their upcoming Conduit show, Taylor and Sampson encourage fans and newbies to be ready to dance, jump, shake and move. “We pride ourselves on just being a very high-energy show and we like to have fun. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we really like to make the crowd feel like they’re part of the show,” Taylor says.
Taylor and Sampson both grew up in musical households, influenced by their parents. With music integral to both of their upbringings, their experiences led to wanting to pursue a future playing and performing.
“I grew up doing musicals and stuff and was always chasing that feeling. I always felt the best

when I was on stage performing. When my mom gave me her first guitar and I started writing songs and stuff, it just really kind of solidified that for me,” Taylor says.
With the release of their new EP fresh in their minds, Senses are already anticipating more releases later this year.
“We have a lot of music that we’ve compiled over the last summer. We’re kind of in an exploratory phase, I feel like nothing is really off-limits for us in terms of how we write,” Taylor says. “We’re going to have some time after this tour to get back into it and finish some things up, but you can expect a lot more music coming this year for sure.”
Their music is heavily influenced by their own life experiences, as well as their friends and peers. “Inspiration strikes kind of randomly and when it does, you just go with it,” Sampson adds.
Orlando fans: Take heart, maybe you can inspire a new song.

LOCAL RELEASES
Slowly, stealthily and despite little tangible presence, enigmatic mega-power trio Bunaand have crept up from the underground to become darlings of the area’s heavy-music cognoscenti. Since their 2022 stage debut until now, the band of Sam Segrest (rhythm guitar, vocals), Jordan Douglas (drums) and James Covington (lead guitar) hadn’t released any music and performances have been scant. But, goddamn, those opening peeks have been staggeringly visceral enough to position Bunaand as Orlando’s next deafening juggernaut on the trembling horizon.
Now, however, the looming storm has officially touched down with Bunaand’s new debut release. Their self-titled mini-album is a thundering introduction featuring five slabs of towering metal seemingly carved whole from the side of a stone mountain. That’s not incidental. Bunaand are, by design, one of those intensely sonic bands. Like Jucifer, Swans or Orlando’s Ad Nauseum, they’re looking to punish you. Live, you feel them as much as hear them.
For Bunaand, that sheer force is a matter of mission with an entire setup geared toward that very end. “Bunaand is a three-piece: drums, two guitars,” says Covington. “Both guitars play a giant guitar and bass rig to create as much volume and fullness as possible.”
Moreover, the band self-built much of their own equipment.“Sam hand-built and wired our four guitar amps and built all of our effect pedals,” Covington says. “I built our guitar cabinets and helped build my guitar.”
That sonically lethal intent manifests in their debut release as songs built for mass and volume. With crashing, blunt-force riffs and piledriving Southern grooves, these are hulking monoliths
Bunaand are, by design, one of those intensely sonic bands. Like Jucifer, Swans or Orlando’s Ad Nauseum, they’re looking to punish you. Live, you feel them as much as hear them
of doom, sludge and psych metal. But while no recording can fully capture sonic-boom bands like Bunaand, this collection does reveal a degree of craftsmanship in their songs that their overwhelming live shows often obscure.
For all the gravity in their sound, though, there’s some down-low levity going on here, too.“We are not terribly serious people,” Segrest says. “The music is pretty heavy, so we try to lighten the load here and there with humor or lighter elements.”
Those subversive touches include samples peppered throughout the album from Gene Wilder and Cheech & Chong movies. Add to that a fictitious band name with no meaning that they, as a rule, don’t themselves say in public in order to let everyone fumble their own way through the pronunciation and perception of the band.
But even that can’t soften that fact that Bunaand are one of the most imposing and anticipated heavy bands to emerge from Orlando in a long time. Now, there’s a monstrous recorded
document of their promise in the books. The exceptional Bunaand streams everywhere. Really, though, you should experience Bunaand live, if you dare, which you can this weekend with Orbiter, Sandcrawler and Shock & Awe (8 p.m. Saturday, April 5, Uncle Lou’s, $12). Covington promises, “I can guarantee we will be the loudest performance to ever grace Lou with their presence.” I’ve seen them. Trust him.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Caleb Caudle: Although North Carolina’s Caleb Caudle will bring some twang to the posh, jazz-leaning room at Judson’s Live, the vibe will nonetheless remain elegant. The young Americana riser specializes in a mature, alt-leaning blend of country, roots, bluegrass, indie and classic rock. Even the company he keeps can attest to Caudle’s worth as an artist. His latest album, 2024’s Sweet Critters, is a tasteful and rich work of modern Americana that features excellent guests like Allison Russell, John Paul White and recent Orlando star transplant Aoife O’Donovan. It’ll be a prime evening of sweet Southern grace. (7 p.m. Thursday, April 3, Judson’s Live, $19.50-$34.50)
Cancerslug: Never before has reality been so in need of relief. Well, Alabama band Cancerslug serves up a kind of rock escapism that’s deliciously dark, rather than the actual horror of real life. Besides also fronting Doyle’s band, singer Alex Story stays devout to his Misfits worship with his own long-running band Cancerslug, where he croons his Danzig-esque brand of pulpy punk theater with utter fidelity. (7 p.m. Thursday, April 3, Conduit, $15) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Rick Wakeman
In the 1970s, an enterprising ad campaign labeled a then-cadaverous Lou Reed as “the phantom of rock.” That was then, and now, a descriptor that would have been applied more aptly to cape-bedecked and keyboard-playing magus Rick Wakeman. The man helped define and refine the changing sonic hues of prog rock with seminal stints in Yes and solo works like Journey to the Centre of the Earth and The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Wednesday’s show will be Wakeman’s last solo show in Orlando, as this tour is his North American swan song. This Orlando date was one of a handful added to the successful run, so go see this maestro before he hangs up his performing cape forever (?). 8 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $101-$138.

Roger Beebe Expanded Cinema
Experimental filmmaker Roger Beebe returns to Orlando as part of a 25th anniversary live tour, visiting a suitably DIY venue for his adventurous works. Beebe, renowned for his abstract multi-projector film works, will be setting up his mad-scientist AV room at Stardust Video to show off both his 16mm experiments — including the seven-projector Last Light of a Dying Star — and live-narrated documentaries on subjects like men crying and capitalist decay. Beebe is a seminal figure in Florida underground cinema; he taught for over a decade in UF’s film program and founded an experimental film festival in the state, FLEX. Get away from streaming and come catch a few flicks. 8 p.m., Stardust Video & Coffee, 1842 Winter Park Road, stardustvideoandcoffee. wordpress.com, $5-$15. — MM

Green Day’s American Idiot
Valencia College’s theater department is calling out idiot America with American Idiot, the onstage rock musical based on the 2004 concept album by Green Day, in a limited local run. Raucous and riotous, Green Day’s American Idiot adapts Green Day’s album of the same name to Quadrophenia-esque results. The musical, which originally premiered in April 2010, is the winner of two Tony Awards and a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album. This stage production follows Johnny, a lower middle-class antihero, and his friends Tunny and Will in their punk coming-ofage story as they struggle to find meaning in a post-9/11 America. Exploring themes of identity and rebellion, the musical nods to the very now scenes of youth defying the government and demanding better in today’s climate (in both senses of the word). In an information age of hysteria, American Idiot tries to keep it honest, three chords and the truth–style. Valencia College Performing Arts Center, East Campus, 701 N.

Beer ’Merica: After Dark
Prepare your most vibrant red, white and blues ahead of the 10-year anniversary of Orlando’s brew-fueled Beer ’Merica bash, marking American Craft Beer Week Saturday. The sipping event is heading back to Gaston Edwards Park in Lake Ivanhoe, with all the beer, bubbles and bites attendees can handle — including more than 100 American craft brews, seltzers, wines, non-alcoholic drinks and homegrown eats. This year’s party is set to bring even more to drink and a brand-new timetable: Beer ’Merica is now a nighttime event, with festivities kicking off at 6 p.m. and going strong well after dark. There will be a number of local food trucks slinging provisions to keep guests fueled for the duration of the event. Also new this year is the Beer ’Merica Herb Cannabis Zone, a special section that will feature alcohol-free THC-infused beverages. Guests can revel in live entertainment, games and most likely an amazing amount of outlandish red, white and blue outfits. General admission and VIP tickets are available now for the 21-and-up event. VIP ticket holders will get early entry, exclusive food and drink offerings, access to the VIP zone and a commemorative T-shirt. 5 p.m., Gaston Edwards Park, 1236 N. Orange Ave., beermericaorlando. com, $50-$75. — Chloe Greenberg

Greatest American Cleanup
April commemorates all things beautiful about the planet during Earth Month, and the city of Winter Park’s Natural Resources and Sustainability Department partners with Keep
Winter Park Beautiful and Sustainable to put on the people-powered Great American Cleanup Saturday. Locals may volunteer at one of five cleanup locations: Howell Branch Preserve, Ward Park, the Park Avenue area, Lake Baldwin Park’s off-leash area or Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. GAC is a nationwide effort that aims to tidy up 25,000 local communities between now and July. The goal is to de-litter America’s public spaces and parks in time for the nation’s 250th birthday celebration. (Hopefully the federal ones will still be open by then.) 9 a.m., various locations, cityofwinterpark.org, free. — JL

Cold Cave
Forgive us, Father, for we have synthed. And now musician and author Wesley Eisold’s Cold Cave are making their way into Orlando this week like a dark-electronic Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Eisold has been releasing music as Cold Cave since the early 2010s, sonically harking back to synth-pop and darkwave noises that festered from 1980s new wave. Cold Cave’s latest release, Passion Depression from last year, doesn’t stray far from this goth danceclub feel. Joining Cold Cave on this touring run are Sydney, Australiaborn band Buzz Kull, who lean into similar electronic sounds with a bit of a darker edge. 7 p.m., Conduit, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, conduitfl.com, $28. — CG

Art of Dancehall Book Release & Day Party
Save a slice of your Sunday Funday to educate yourself with the book-release party for The Art of Dancehall. This afternoon event heralds the new tome by Walshy Fire, delving into the vibrant history of dancehall, a rhythm-heavy and poppy reggae offshoot from the 1970s (and beyond)
WEDNESDAY–TUESDAY, APRIL 2-8, 2025
that brought us Shabba Ranks, Yellowman and Buju Banton. Fire is no mere chronicler; the DJ and MC came up through the soundsystem scene in Jamaica before finding fame worldwide as part of Major Lazer. Art collects evocative DIY posters and flyers from dancehall shows across decades — many culled from Fire’s personal collection —
with commentary from Fire and other aficionados. Plenty of stories and insight into the making of this tome are promised, but beyond that it’ll be a surprise. Someone is sure to be spinning the dancehall essentials, though. 3 p.m., The Social, 54 N. Orange Ave., instagram.com/thesocialorlando, $20. — MM

Meet Blue!
Blue (A543610) is 2 years old and was adopted from our shelter last year, having come in as a stray when she was just a pup. Sadly, her owner had another dog, and that dog and Blue just did not get along. So Blue was returned to the shelter, and has been with us now for almost three months. Blue has not shown any dog-aggressive behaviors here at the shelter, and has shared her space readily and easily. But we also know that the way an animal behaves at the shelter isn’t always the way they will behave in a home.
Blue has been fortunate enough to find a foster home, where she is currently getting a lot of love and attention. We know Blue is ready for the next chapter of her life, and we’re hoping she will never have to come back to the shelter. Anyone interested in adopting this sweet and beautiful girl can reach out to our coordinator at fostercare@ocfl.net.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-8363111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
