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.

 Why would anyone voluntarily attempt to see 50 concerts at 50 different venues in a single summer? Jay Cridlin shrugged and thought: Eh, why not.
