The final treat of the night was Win Win Winter; a band that’s become a Tampa institution, and one just back from a month-long East coast tour.  They had me banging my head and jumping around within the first 30 seconds. Front man Tommy Simms was at his best, with vocals that went from dusky urgency to frenetic screams that had me worrying briefly about the thickness of the glass from which I was swilling pale ale.  The whole band was spot on, tight, and obviously having a blast.  Just to make sure no one forgot they were at a rock show, guitarist Nate bashed his instrument to tiny bits against the wall and floor at the end of the raucous closer “Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.”  It really was that kind of night
