Automatic Loveletter headlines CL in Concert at the State

Published 09.03.08
Automatic Loveletter lead singer, Juliet Simms

Tampa's Automatic Loveletter isn't your typical emo band. Yeah, the quartet serves up glossy power ballads with titles such as "Eyes on You," but listen to the vocals; there's a grittiness and authority there that transcends genre. Frontwoman Juliet Simms (pictured) is only 21, but she belts out lines about love lost like a seasoned diva. Her band headlines this CL in Concert gig at the State Theatre after returning from a cross-country Warped Tour run in support of its debut EP, Recover, which came out on Epic/Sony. Joining Automatic Loveletter on the formidable six-act lineup is master-of-many-sounds indie rock band Win Win Winter, led by Juliet's brother, Tommy Simms.

CL in Concert, in conjunction with AES: Automatic Loveletter w/Tides Of Man/Win Win Winter/Très Bien/Mumpsy/Lavin, 8 p.m. (doors), Fri., Sept., 5, State Theatre, St. Petersburg, $8/$5 in advance. All ages.
