» Fashion Square Mall movie theater confirmed to close permanently
The longstanding movie theater inside Fashion Square Mall, Orlando Premiere Cinema 14, will close Thursday, taking one of the mall’s last major draws with it as the future of the property remains uncertain. The 14-screen venue inside the largely vacant Orlando Fashion Square mall has operated for 22 years, offering one of the few entertainment options left at the aging shopping center. Despite its size and prime location, the mall has experienced decades of declining foot traffic and store closures. The property was listed for sale in late 2024 as a redevelopment opportunity, with brokers marketing the site for potential mixed-use projects that could include residential, retail and entertainment uses. That listing touted the mall’s location and redevelopment potential. Despite the sale listing and occasional redevelopment proposals, work on a new project has yet to begin.
» Orlando leaders unveiled a Disney plaque downtown Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer joined Disney World president Jeff Vahle last Thursday for the unveiling of a new plaque in downtown Orlando that commemorates the history-making announcement in 1965 that Walt Disney World would be developed in Orlando. The plaque — a project of the city, Disney World and the Thornton Park Main Street District — was displayed outside the building on East Central Boulevard that today encompasses MAA Apartments, World of Beer, and other restaurants. The building surrounding Lake Eola used to be the Cherry Plaza Hotel, where Walt and Roy O. Disney first announced that this now world-renowned theme park — Disney’s “Florida Project” — would be coming to the City Beautiful. According to the Orlando Sentinel, it was the largest press gathering in Florida history at the time it occurred, with hundreds of members of the press in attendance.
» Orlando airport authority held a food drive for airport workers affected by the funding lapse
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority held a food drive last weekend for TSA officers at Orlando Executive Airport and Orlando International Airport. TSA officers, employed by the federal DHS, missed their first full paycheck last Friday as the result of a partial government shutdown that has caused a lapse in Department of Homeland Security funding. Federal funding for DHS lapsed in mid-February over proposed reforms Democrats have been seeking to ICE and federal immigration enforcement. Although ICE has plenty of funding under Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law last year, TSA officers, FEMA workers, and some employees of the U.S. Coast Guard will be forced to continue working unpaid (with back pay eventually to come) until Congress reaches an agreement on funding for DHS.
» Florida Senate voted to ban local governments from spending on DEI
The Florida Senate approved legislation last week that will prohibit cities and counties from funding, promoting, or taking official actions relating to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. The final vote was 25-11 and came after a debate that began last Wednesday morning and ended at 8:36 p.m. Miami-area Sen. Alexis Calatayud was the lone Republican to join Democrats in opposing the measure. The bill is SB 1134, sponsored by Clay Yarborough, a Jacksonville Republican who’s also led the fight over gender-affirming care access for trans people in Florida. Some Florida mayors have publicly blasted the bill, calling the language vague and overly broad. As the Senate and House versions moved through committee, sponsors have continued to amend the language, realizing they did not intend certain programs or activities to be banned. That included the development of a permanent Pulse memorial in Orlando, commemorating the mass nightclub shooting that occurred in 2016. The companion bill in the House (HB 1001), sponsored by Jacksonville Republican Rep. Dean Black, is expected to be voted on in the House chamber this week.
» Florida House passed a bill allowing Florida to designate domestic terrorist organizations
Legislation to allow a handful of state officials to designate domestic or foreign terrorist organizations was approved in the GOP-controlled Florida House last week, despite complaints by Democrats that the measure lacks guardrails. The vote was 81-26, mostly along party lines. The
bill — HB 1471, sponsored by Rep. Hillary Cassel, R-Dania Beach — says the terrorism label could be applied if the state’s chief of domestic security finds that the group “is engaging in terrorist activities that either involve illegal acts dangerous to human life, or that are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping or aircraft piracy.” The state’s chief of domestic security is Mark Glass, head of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The bill says he could declare a group domestic terrorists if 1) it is based in the U.S.; 2) it is engaging in terrorist activity as defined in state statute; 3) its activity poses an ongoing threat to the security of Florida or the United States. The bill must still be approved by the Senate in order for it to be sent to the governor for final approval.
» Florida universities approved a DeSantis-backed freeze on H1-B visas University system decision-makers expressed a willingness to be nimble as they voted to pause H-1B visas at state universities until next year. The move followed Gov. Ron DeSantis’ call for universities to eliminate the visas, which allow foreigners in specialty occupations to temporarily work in the United States. The measure prohibits universities from using the H-1B program to hire “new employees” until Jan. 5, 2027. The change will not affect existing H-1B holders, according to system Chancellor Ray Rodrigues. The state must study what role the visas should play in the future, once the pause expires. Faculty representative Kimberly Dunn, an accounting professor at Florida Atlantic University, and student representative Carson Dale, Florida State University student body president, voted against the measure in a 14-2 vote. The two spoke against the measure extensively during the board’s last meeting, during which Dale warned it “would undermine meritocracy.”

‘KILL SHOT’
Florida Senate passes bill making it harder for most public employees to form or keep unions
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Just three years after enacting the most extreme union repression law in Florida in decades, Florida lawmakers are getting closer to clinching another win for anti-union special interest groups who are closely aligned with Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Trump administration.
The Florida Senate on Friday voted 20-14 to pass Senate Bill 1296, a bill that would effectively make it harder for most local and state government employees to form a union or keep the union they already have. Unions representing law enforcement, firefighters and correctional officers — generally known to back Republicans for office — are, notably, carved out of the proposal.
The bill was approved mostly along party lines, with independent Sen. Jason Pizzo and five Republican senators — Sens. Calatayud, Garcia, Hooper, Rodriguez and Simon — joining Democrats in opposition. Dozens of public employees, including self-described Republicans, traveled to Tallahassee earlier this week to testify against the proposal, which is sponsored by Sen. Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers.
“Every day, I work hard to ensure I provide exceptional care to all my patients and any patient who comes into the Jackson Health system. This bill hurts my ability to do that,” said Casey Mohrien, a resident physician at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and a member of 1199 SEIU, speaking to the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee. “[It] hurts my ability to advocate for my patients, their families and overall, our communities.”
Lisa Bush, a registered nurse of 25 years at Jackson Memorial who described herself to senators as a “proud Republican,” said she feels this bill doesn’t align with her values. “It is more government, more intrusion, more red tape,” she said.
The bill still needs a final vote of approval in the similarly Republican-dominated Florida House, and is expected to pass this week, even with Democrats standing united in opposition.
“I think that we really need to be honest about what Senate Bill 1296 really is,” said Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, speaking on the Senate floor. “This is the next step in a campaign, a years-long campaign to
eliminate public sector unions in Florida.”
Union leaders did not initially expect this bill to get as far as it has — but that was before the legislation was leveraged by Florida’s education commissioner to blame teachers unions for student protests and before the legislation got its own special shout-out from the Trump administration.
“This commonsense reform, SB 1296, reins in fringe political activism from teacher unions and refocuses them on accountability to teachers,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon wrote in a post on X last week.
The legislation is backed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as well as billionaire-funded think tanks that lobby for similar anti-union policies elsewhere, such as the Freedom Foundation (headquartered in Washington State) and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, which is based out of Michigan. The Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Kochaffiliated Americans for Prosperity group have also endorsed the bill.
“My intention is not to destroy unions,” Martin claimed, when questioned by his Democratic colleagues. “The goal is to get rid of the bad unions.”
“The people who came up here [to testify against the bill] are part of, they’re strong unions,” he added. “They got the message out. They came up here and spoke. They’re going to be fine.”
The 68-page bill changes various parts of Florida statutes concerning public sector unions (as private sector unions are regulated by the federal government). The most deadly provision of the proposal would change voter thresholds in union elections.
Under the bill, a simple majority of at least 50 percent of eligible voters would need to vote to form a union, recertify, or decertify a union, instead of just a majority of those who vote. Essentially, if there are 100 eligible voters, at least 26 must vote in favor of forming, recertifying or decertifying.
This is different from the House version (HB 995), which is identical to the starting version of the Senate bill. Under that version, a majority of the eligible voters would have to vote in favor of unionization or recertification — similar to anti-union laws that
already exist in Wisconsin and Iowa. Both of those, passed in 2011 and 2017 respectively, were also backed by influential business groups and opposed by public sector workers themselves.
In addition to changing voter thresholds, Florida’s SB 1296 would also get rid of the option in Florida statutes allowing employers to voluntarily recognize a union of public employees instead of forcing workers to go through an election process when a majority have already demonstrated they want to form a union. It would also significantly increase financial penalties for strikes by public employees, which are already illegal under the Florida Constitution.
“It’s mean-spirited,” Sen. LaVon Bracy Davis, a Democrat from Orlando, stated bluntly. “It sends a really bad message to the working class,” and, she added, it’s “littered with constitutional issues.”
A Senate staff analysis of the legislation found several potential constitutionality issues, including the infringement of workers’ collective bargaining rights under the state Constitution. Florida is one of the only states in the U.S. that guarantees the right to collective bargaining in its state constitution.
But Martin, an attorney himself, said he felt confident that previous court decisions scrutinizing similar constitutionality issues demonstrated his bill would hold up, if subjected to a legal challenge.
The bill comes just three years after Florida lawmakers similarly approved a Freedom Foundation-backed union reform bill (SB 256), mostly along party lines. The bill, in short, required more public employees — with the same public safety union carveouts — to pay union membership dues, while simultaneously making it harder for them to do so by banning paycheck dues deductions.
Union members at the time similarly described that change as government overreach and an attack on their right to pay membership dues as they wished.
Within the context of this new proposal, the 2023 law importantly requires unions to go through annual recertification elections if the percentage of workers they represent who pay dues is less than 60 percent. Because paying union dues in Florida is voluntary, this can be a tough threshold to pass. So far, more than 120 bargaining units (groups of workers represented by a union) have been decertified by the state since the law’s passage, stripping union representation from more than 69,000 public employees.
None of these unions decertified, however, have been K-12 teachers unions, which were widely perceived as the target of the law.
“Not one teachers union was decertified. So now, here, we have this bill that is intended to be the kill shot to finish the job,” Sen. Smith pointed out Friday.

‘TERRIBLE TIMING’
Orange County leaders back off proposed one-cent sales tax to fund transportation, conservation
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Orange County leaders have backed off a proposal they considered placing on the November ballot that would have asked county voters if they’d be willing to approve a new local penny tax to help fund county infrastructure, transportation, and conservation projects.
Mayor Jerry Demings, a Democrat who’s running for Florida governor this year, said during a special meeting on the issue last week that the timing of the proposal was off, considering the scope of affordability issues affecting the community.
County commissioner Mayra Uribe, who’s running to replace Demings as Orange County mayor this fall, echoed his concerns.
“I just don’t know if the timing is right or the transparency is really at the level to get the buy-in from the public,” she said.
Demings proposed that county commissioners in the future could potentially consider such a proposal for the next election cycle instead — once he’s out of county office, of course.
“God bless the future board, to maybe bring it back in 2028,” he said.
It’s a tough issue. Orange County voters rejected a similar proposal — a penny tax to fund public transportation projects, specifically — in 2022, on the heels of a global pandemic that temporarily shut down the region’s most prominent industry. Just 41.6 percent of voters voted in favor of it then, while 58.3 percent voted against.
Orange County voters two years later, however, overwhelmingly renewed a half-cent tax to help support the local school system in 2024, with 72 percent of voters showing support.
This newer proposal, described as a local government infrastructure surtax, would have similarly (if more broadly) been used to help
fund transportation infrastructure, as well as parks, environmental conservation, stormwater and water quality initiatives and land acquisition for affordable housing projects. Discussion on the issue was roughly a year in the making.
The surtax would have generated an estimated $757 million in revenue annually, with just 11 percent of that coming from local residents. The rest would have been generated by tourists and local businesses. Of the $757 million, $528 million would have been earmarked for the county, with the remaining $227 million (about 30 percent) allocated for cities located in the county, including Orlando, Apopka, Winter Garden and Winter Park, among others.
In practice, the tax would have added one cent to every dollar in sales on taxable consumer goods in Orange County, if approved by voters this fall, although county commissioners were also willing to entertain a half-cent proposal as well. Items such as groceries and medicine are considered nontaxable and would not have been affected.
The tricky part, however, is selling voters on these kinds of proposals and demonstrating how it would benefit taxpayers and their families to support the meager tax and not just burden them as an additional expense. Some people spoke out against the proposed tax during the public testimony portion of the meeting, arguing the county isn’t making good enough use of the money it has already.
“By asking for taxes, I feel that you’re not respecting the working dollar,” said Cynthia Harris, a community activist and repeat candidate for local elected office who was most recently disqualified from the Supervisor of Elections race in 2024 over improper paperwork practices. “Families are stretching
their budgets, and I think that government should stretch their dollars as well,” she said. “Remember, just a few years ago, you gave yourself a 25 percent raise.”
A number of other counties in Florida, including redder areas, have similar voter-authorized funding in place, specifically for conservation.
According to Pegeen Hanrahan with the Trust for Public Lands — a national nonprofit that works with local governments on these kinds of initiatives — conservation generally is the most popular issue that voters are willing to support when it comes to a tax proposal.
“What we see over time is that when you give the voters the opportunity to weigh in on whether they want to see natural lands, water quality, parks, recreation and so on preserved, they do resoundingly say yes,” Hanrahan told the board of county commissioners.
A survey conducted by the nonprofit of roughly 800 likely voters in Orange County found that a tax used to help protect water quality received the greatest support, while protecting environmentally sensitive lands from over-development closely followed. Of non-conservation issues, the next most popular were using a tax to fund efforts to reduce traffic congestion and for road repairs.
A greater share of survey respondents — 62 percent — supported the half-cent tax idea, according to Hanrahan. Respondents also favored the idea of a tax that would sunset in 10 years, versus another 20-year proposal county leaders were also considering.
Still, the county commission faced a daunting deadline for getting a half-cent or full-cent tax proposal on the 2026 ballot, and there was concern that not enough support for the idea would materialize to make the effort worthwhile. Commissioners would have had to approve ballot language by April 7, according to county staff, then send that to the state’s Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability by May 7.
Commissioner Kelly Martinez Semrad, one of the newer commissioners elected to the board in 2024, said she would have preferred to find a way to use tourist development tax revenue to fund infrastructure and transportation projects instead. Orange County receives hundreds of millions of dollars in TDT revenue each year — generated through a 6 percent tax on local hotel stays — but under state law, most of that money has be used to fund tourism
marketing and other tourist attractions, like sports stadiums.
“Orange County should be lobbying Tallahassee like crazy to better define how we can meet today’s needs on an infrastructure fund that has public money in it, generated by those who don’t live amongst us with this, which is tourists,” Semrad said.
The big tourism lobby, however, has consistently leveraged its political influence in Tallahassee to lobby against proposed changes to state statues that would allow for more flexible uses of TDT revenue. Hotelier Frank Santos, CEO of Rosen Hotels, has pitched an extra tax to help fund transportation projects — while leaving the TDT alone — but that idea hasn’t gained much traction either.
Orlando-area Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, a Democrat, almost got his own proposal across the finish line in state budget talks last year that would have allowed TDT revenue to be used for public transportation and infrastructure. The proposal, however, was pulled from state budget language last minute, and state budget negotiations this year among Senate and House leadership remain ongoing.
Semrad said giving local residents a commitment that county leaders will work with state lawmakers to enact TDT reform would be the “recipe for success” that they would need to get voters on form with any kind of separate local tax proposal.
“I think that if the public sees us treading in that direction, that shows them, OK, not only can we maybe get some relief there, but also that we can generate a collective pot of money in the form of an infrastructure tax.”
Commissioner Nicole Wilson, an advocate for the local infrastructure surtax idea, pushed to move forward with getting it on the ballot this year, even if they downsized to a half-cent proposal. She said that she, unlike others on the dais, wasn’t planning to run for higher office any time soon, and said that with the political will, they wouldn’t have to wait on state legislators in Tallahassee to provide relief in order for the county to generate revenue itself for projects important to the community.
“What is law today is the ability for us to leverage this type of infrastructure surtax and be able to do it earmarked in very specific ways,” she said.
“I think it’s just terrible timing,” Demings said. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com
COOL TURK
Café De Wan inspires appetites with Turkish breakfasts, baked goods and borek
BY FAIYAZ KARA
The most noticeable aspect about Café De Wan, a new Turkish restaurant in the very unnoticeable Summit Plaza strip mall in Casselberry, is that the scent of seared meats is all but absent. In fact, kebabs, or kebaps, that most Turkish of eats, are nonexistent on the menu. The reason? There’s no hood in the kitchen. So owner Habibe Sungun and her sister Esra work with what they’ve got, baking borek and pide, plating soups and dips and, for early risers, serving Turkish breakfasts.
The pair had planned to take over the Aladdin’s Café space just a few doors down after owners Hassan Hafza and his wife, Samia, retired last week. The idea was to open a Turkish kebaberia there and retain Café De Wan as a breakfast and lunch spot. But the folks who run Flafel Spot inside the Marathon gas station in Casselberry beat them to the punch. So, while a grill space is being secured, the pair do their best to keep the supper set satiated.
During Ramadan, a special iftar menu was served, starting with a serving of soup. The chicken soup ($4.50) had enough soul that I paused my spoon mid-air to inhale the heady scent of roasted chicken. “I need to put this
soup on the list for when I’m sick,” said the pal after wolfing down the liquid gold. Even as he was saying it, I’d sunk my teeth into a meat-and cheese-filled borek ($6), fragmenting shreds of flaky phyllo all over myself. “You should try this in the morning after it’s freshly baked,” said Esra, and I made a mental note to do just that. But there was a meze plate ($20) to consider first — ezme reddened with spices and pomegranate molasses, smoky baba ghanoush, hummus (that veered thick rather than creamy) and herbaceous haydari that we scooped with warmed triangles of pita. Pretty standard stuff, as were the pide baked in a double-deck countertop pizza oven. The crust was a bit doughy in both veg ($12) and sucuk ($14) varieties, but the punchy flavors of the sausage in the latter made my tongue sit up straight. I just wish there’d been more of the spiced Turkish tube steak on that boat-shaped pie. The lahmacun ($8), on the other hand, its crackly, wafer-thin base covered with spiced ground beef, was everything we hoped the flatbread would be. A squeeze of lemon served to amplify the flavors of each exquisite bite.
There are drinks, like a “special juice” ($4) made from apricot, citrus and ginger, and a
“crimson bloom” ($4) with notes of clove, hibiscus and a cranberry tang, but a pot of tea is complimentary, and we stuck with that as our quaff of choice.
A pot also comes with the Turkish-style breakfast ($25), which at Café De Wan is served in spurts, not all at once. In fact, the restaurant’s name is in reference to Turkey’s Wan, or Van, province, where breakfasts are legendary. If you’re the sort to let the camera eat first, patience will be key for that bird’s-eye shot of the byzantine assemblage of nuts, fruits, vegetables, jams, dips, spreads, cheeses and eggy dishes spread across the table. My favorites: menemen (eggs scrambled with tomatoes and peppers) and kaymak (clotted cream) set in honey and tahini mixed with grape molasses. Small quibble: The menu said three varieties of cheese were included, but only provolone and feta were served.
On this particular morning, borek was being baked fresh in their oven, so I stuck around the charming dining room and waited for them to be done, and I’m glad I did. Just one flaky bite left me Wan-ing more.

Jala takes over a space that’s seen numerous concepts come before it, but what they tout as “modern” Indian cuisine is classic to the core with a bit of smoke and theatrics.

Canine heartworm disease. Caused by parasitic worms transmitted through mosquito bites, heartworm disease affects the heart, lungs, and blood vessels of infected dogs. Early stages may show few symptoms, but as the disease progresses, pets can develop coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and even heart failure. Treatment involves a series of medications, including injections to kill adult heartworms and antibiotics to address secondary infections caused by dying parasites.

premieres you won’t want to miss this week.
BY STEVE SCHNEIDER
Premieres Wednesday:
Age of Attraction — The push to eliminate bias in reality dating continues, as a bunch of singles pair up without revealing to their new partner how old they really are. Because love may be blind, but even the most adept showrunner generally has to trick it into committing statutory. (Netflix)
Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere — The British documentarian takes a hard look at the chest-beating influencers who are indoctrinating our kids into their peculiar notions of masculinity. Hey, don’t knock it until you’ve tried it: One day you’re calling out Addison Rae as mid on Reddit, the next you’re lasering the shit out of hummingbirds over El Paso. (Netflix)
Love Is Blind: The Reunion — Find out what happened to the Season 10 pod squad after they left Ohio. Who got hitched? Who broke up? And who decided monogamy is just too diffi-
cult and joined the Department of Homeland Security instead? (Netflix)
Scarpetta — Queen of streaming Nicole Kidman headlines a series based on the forensic pathology novels of Patricia Cornwell. Speaking of pathology, Nic, heard from Keith lately? (Prime Video)
Premieres Thursday:
Love Is Blind Sweden — Season 3 adds a new twist, with Swedish influencers on hand to critique the romantic exploits of the 29 contestants. Participating kibitzers include Kaeli Abdi, Filip Dikmen, Carolina Gynning, Fanna Ndow Norrby, Emil Henrohn and Sofia Dalén. (OK, you got me: Those were all actually winning dishes on past seasons of Top Chef.) (Netflix)
Made in Korea — It’s a real lentil-out-of-water story as a woman from Tamil Nadu makes good on her lifelong dream of living the good
life in South Korea. Or as Yoon Suk Yeol now knows it, “the impossible dream.” (Netflix)
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — Things get all meta in Season 4, which deals with the fallout of Taylor’s announcement that she’s the new Bachelorette and Jen and Whitney’s acceptance onto Dancing With the Stars. Sounds like we’ve stumbled upon an entirely new programming concept: borin’ception. (Hulu)
Virgin River — The climax of Season 6 presented newlyweds Mel and Jack with the possibility of adopting a baby. Season 7 deals with the fallout of their decision to say yes. For one thing, they’re going to learn that Trump’s economy has made it way harder to flip one of those things on the black market. (Netflix)
Premieres Friday:
Bodycam — Found footage is the storytelling medium and the subject matter of a shocker that shows two cops committing an accidental shooting and then trying to cover up the evidence. So in other words, the material is ripped from today’s headlines, except for the part about it being an accident. (Shudder)
Dynasty: The Murdochs — It might seem hard to believe that one family could control everything that transpires in the Western world for years upon end, but this documentary will convince you it’s true. I mean, who do they think they are, Kardashians? (Netflix)
Fatal Seduction Season 3 — She’s immersed herself in a risky affair with a younger man and
had to fight charges she murdered her husband. Now Nandi is enjoying some well-deserved peace and quiet — unless the stirrings of her heart move her to risk it all over again. Seriously, we spay and neuter pets that have more self-control than this. (Netflix)
That Night — Three Spanish sisters vacationing in the Dominican Republic resort to desperate subterfuge after one of them runs over a man with her car. A word of advice, ladies: If you’re going to try to claim it was an accident, make sure he wasn’t in his living room. (Netflix)
Premieres Saturday:
The Madison — Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell play a New York couple relocated to Montana in the latest series from the ubiquitous Taylor Sheridan.

Premieres Monday:
The Plastic Detox — In a kind of reverse Super Size Me for the RFK Jr. era, six couples test their hypothesis that exposure to plastic is what’s preventing them from having kids. I mean, that could be feasible, if you’re WRAPPING IT AROUND YOUR DICK. (Netflix)
Premieres Tuesday:
Mark Normand: None Too Pleased — Caught in the act in Boulder, Colorado, the New York comic discusses married life, fatherhood and how ashamed he is to have participated in the recent Riyadh Comedy Festival. OK, two out of three. But it’s a start! (Netflix)

GUN CLUB
West Coast punks Militarie Gun plan to incite some communal rage in Orlando
BY IDA V. ESKAMANI
“Do I sound distorted to you?” Ian Shelton, lead vocalist and songwriter of punk band Militarie Gun, is in his home in Los Angeles. He’s relishing the last few days before another tour, spending time with the people he’ll miss while on the road and writing songs. This morning, he’s hoping to finish a new Militarie Gun track.“I’m always writing music, every interview starts almost identical to this,” he tells Orlando Weekly. “If I’m home, I am sitting in this exact position. This is the only thing I care about, really in the world, so this is what I do every day.”
The band — Shelton, guitarists William Acuña and Kevin Kiley, bassist Waylon Trim and drummer David Stalsworth — are touring cross-country, this time supporting punk stalwarts Joyce Manor. Founded in 2020, Militarie Gun have two albums under their belts: Life Under the Gun from 2023, and last year’s God Save the Gun. Both
are standouts, with the band claiming their space in the hearts of fans across the world, captivating listeners with a blend of hardcore, punk and pop — not to mention raucous live shows and lyrics that blend sincerity and cynicism.
Shelton is, in his own words, a chronic oversharer. In using songwriting to dissect his life, he taps into universal truths that resonate with listeners of all walks of life. “I couldn’t make impersonal songs. I’ve tried,” he says. “I’m more cynical even about my own position in life and whether or not any of that actually matters, because your actions are really all that matters. At the time of making God Save the Gun, I feel like my actions were not great. … It’s a tough balance of constantly trying to unpack why I feel something or why I did something, and then also just being like, ‘Yeah, you’re an idiot.’”
Shelton has seemingly lived many lives, with gigs in screenprinting, truck-driving and delivery
driving, to name a few. It’s not been an easy journey, though he credits all these episodes to shaping the artist he is today: practicing by singing along to Strokes records while doing deliveries; having a friend shepherd him through the entire Beatles discography; growing up with his stepdad lovingly teaching him the backstory behind every one of his beloved 1980s hair metal bands. “He loves, like the worst shit,” jokes Shelton.“I’m the product of so many people. I’m just a sponge, and I’m very influenceable. And I think about so many people in my life who showed me important bands that then I took and ran with.”
It’s that wide range of influence paired with a punk ethos that explains Militarie Gun’s draw. They offer a compelling sound that is hard to define and an attitude fit for misfits of all stripes. For Shelton, music is just as much about how it makes you feel as how it sounds: “In high school, getting to go to Ceremony shows and scream, ‘I’ve got problems, I’m a fucked-up kid,’ is probably one of the most meaningful things that I’ve ever experienced. That communal rage, that communal hurt, being channeled all together. That’s what I think this is at its finest.”
On community-building, Shelton emphasizes the harms of divide-and-conquer tactics and the necessity for class solidarity. “I try to approach the world open-heartedly,” he says.
“I think our biggest problem is that communication has been broken down between all normal people, and that is a tool of the rich. I think that it’s about loving your neighbor.”
Despite his West Coast roots, the songwriter has more Florida stories than you would think.
“My earliest memories … I lived outside of Tampa, and I know that I stepped in a pile of fire ants and they engulfed my entire body.” Shelton laughs about one of the many things that almost maimed or killed him as a child in Florida. And then he introduces a new one. “I really want to do ‘B A D I D E A’ in a police station, and I feel like a Florida police station could be a great place to get an insane interaction … or a good way to get my ass beat on camera.” Welcome (back) to Florida.

PURRRFECT SOUND FOREVER
Young Orlando alt-rockers Catnap take their new songs on the road
BY MATTHEW MOYER
Orlando alternative-rock trio Catnap, contrary to their name, are not snoozing — in fact, they’re currently a blur of momentum.
The young band, who only played their first show in late 2023 at the Orlando Girls Rock Camp Fest, are releasing a new mini-album — their second — Songs From the Darkroom, on Friday. Soon after, they’ll hit the road to perform the new material with shows in Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville.
The trio of Nina Friend (guitar/vocals), Julia Deason (bass, vocals) and Angie Benbeneck (drums) have a lot of history, meeting in middle school and starting on music in various incarnations right off the bat. This included early forays by Friend and Deason writing music for violin and cello.
“In middle school, I started playing guitar, Julia started playing bass and then we reunited
with Angie, because she was a childhood friend of mine and she had just started playing the drums,” remembers Friend. “We just started playing together, guitar-bass-drums. And I think that’s when we were like, ‘Let’s start a band.’”
“Our epiphany was probably writing ‘Talk!’ That was like, the moment we were like,‘Oh, this is good, we should probably keep writing more,’” recalls Benbeneck. “It was the first song that we wrote that was actually catchy.”
And thus with a lineup solidified, some songs already written and a name suggested by a helpful parent adopted, Catnap was born. Soon enough, the band ventured on to the stage — a uniquely friendly one — for the first time at the all-day Orlando Girls Rock Camp Fest, which mixes and mingles bands coming out of that summer’s camp with more established bands from all over Central Florida. We witnessed the set, as well as a second show at Stardust Video,
and the three musicians were completely locked in and at ease, belying their lack of live experience.
“I was so excited when we played our first show, I could not stop smiling,” remembers Benbeneck. From that first show, the band found a place within a burgeoning scene of young guitar bands that play shows together and, crucially, encourage one another. The members of Catnap eagerly rattle off names of creative comrades.
“Misspell is awesome. We love them. Every time we play a show with them, it’s just like a big hangout and it’s really fun for us. Same thing with S.MO.P. They started in the Girls Rock Camp, and I was there when they were writing their first song. I got to see the lyrics being written in real time,” says Friend. “We have a lot of fun with them.”
Catnap’s sound is heavy, hazy and catchy, bringing to mind the freewheeling days of early-1990s alternative rock like Helium and Juliana Hatfield and Tsunami and Belly — well before leaden bores like Candlebox and Puddle of Mudd ruined everything. This sound is all over their debut EP Talk! from 2023. The band cops to influences both expected and not.
“When we first started, I think we were very obsessed with the ’ 90s,” admits Friend.“Smashing Pumpkins was a huge inspiration at first. But I think recently, we’ve expanded our interests and music.” Deason, meanwhile, cites a collective interest in newer shoegaze and emo bands.
Songs From the Darkroom is out on lucky Friday the 13th via Bandcamp and streaming, proof positive of their expanded listening palette. It

was recorded in a proper studio, Greenwood Recording, with Kyle Hoffer — who has previously worked with Cathedral Bells and Hail the Sun — for a bigger, more intricate sound.
“We’ve never done anything like this before,” says Benbeneck.“We recorded our first EP in my house with one of my parents’ friends, so this was a very big change of scenery. It was a lot of work and a very long process … but when we were all in the room, listening to it come together, that was really awesome.”
“As for the writing process, I would say that the lyrics on this EP are the most vulnerable lyrics that I’ve ever written, and I’m really excited to share that with people. The Talk EP is just 14-year-old us and this one shows a few years older us,” says Friend.
As we mentioned, this EP will be heralded into the world with a trio of shows where the band will be playing with friends made through previous gigs — notably OGRC alumni S.M.O.P. as well as Fawn and Misspell at the Orlando show at Conduit. But there will also be forays into Tampa — the Orpheum with Mossheads and Indigo Lane — and Jacksonville — Hard Love with Anthony Mikus, Kicklighter, Gnomes of Neptune and Echo Foxtrot.
We ask about the influence of their Orlando music peers on Catnap; of late we’ve noticed younger Orlando musicians seem to be really pulling for and supporting and inspiring one another in ways that maybe some previous generations were a bit more averse to do. (Trade secrets? Who knows.)
“My favorite part of watching local shows is honestly just watching the drummer, because I play the drums. I’ve taken so much inspiration from them,” says Benbeneck. “More than with bigger bands, I feel more connected to them. It’s more relatable than some bigger band.”
“We started the band when I was in eighth grade, and right around freshman year I started going to shows at Stardust, which is near my house. And that was eye-opening for me,” says Friend. “I had never been to shows before, and I went to my first Stardust show, and I was like, ‘OK, this is what I’m going to be doing every single weekend, where I’m going to go with my friends, and this is where I want to play.”
Looking past this week’s burst of activity, the three musicians are just taking things one gig at a time. To that end, there may or may not be a chance to see them at a newer Winter Park venue in the near future. Much like the titular Darkroom, we just have to see what develops. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
They say art imitates life. More essentially, it reacts to life. Music especially has a storied tradition of commentary. And right now, the grapes of wrath are ripe.
All around town, benefit concerts have proliferated as both a reaction and a remedy to socio-political forces that are systemically working to disenfranchise and oppress us. Naturally, protest songs would follow. Within a couple days of each other, two Orlando music acts — MisfitKid and Marc With a C — dropped protest releases. The timing speaks to both our current reality and the mettle of our artists. The punkrock maxim tells us that bad times make for good art, and these two releases are how we dissent.
MisfitKid is one of the musical guises of Orlando’s Daniel Fuller, whose best-known vehicle is drone-gaze project Danielfuzztone. MisfitKid’s new single — “See You at Nuremberg, Fuckers!” — was impelled by the January ICE killings in Minneapolis of Alex Pretti and Renée Good, both U.S. citizens.
Although MisfitKid’s new single is mostly instrumental, the title alone is point-blank with its sentiment. Then there’s that audio clip at the beginning of the song, the harrowing one where the infamous woman in the pink coat is screaming after recording the moment Pretti was gunned down by ICE agents. It’ll freeze your goddamn blood. From there, the song becomes a swelling storm of industrial noise, an unrelenting rhythmic clatter that seethes with fury. After six merciless minutes, the pounding finally fades into a continuation of the opening sample, leaving you devastated. It’s a tough but riveting listen. That’s the point. “See You at Nuremberg, Fuckers!” is on Bandcamp. Look for more new MisfitKid material to drop soon.
All around town, benefit concerts have proliferated as both a reaction and a remedy to sociopolitical forces that are systemically working to disenfranchise and oppress us. Naturally, protest songs would follow
Meanwhile, the protest by Orlando indie icon Marc With a C stretches across six songs on the new Neat Protest EP. In sharp contrast to Marc’s highly atmospheric pop experimentation in recent years, this is a stripped-down return to his alt-folk roots. To meet the urgency of the times, these mostly acoustic songs are raw, direct and insistent like early Mountain Goats.
With Marc’s famously scathing humor, Neat Protest unpacks and skewers the psychology of the sickness that’s in the national driver’s seat right now. Topics span false Christianity (“Jesus Dropped the Charges”), toxic masculinity (“Not the Good Guys”), gun culture (“Fuck Your Guns, Fuck Your Thoughts and Prayers”) and wholesale cultural ruin (“The Death of Everything”). It’s a greatest hits parade for the apocalypse that serves equally well as timely rallying call or prime slice of gallows humor. In addition to streaming everywhere, Neat Protest is also
available as a limited-edition CD via Needlejuice Records, with all proceeds going to Immigrant Defense Network.
CONCERT PICKS THIS WEEK
Orca, Weak, The Yaupon Holly, My Sword! My Sword!: No other lineup this week delivers a punch as intense, diverse and fresh as this one featuring all young contenders in Florida’s hard and heavy scenes. Gainesville leads the way with new hardcore brutes Orca and emotive post-hardcore rockers The Yaupon Holly. Jacksonville reps via the frenetic mathcore of My Sword! My Sword! Orlando anchors with the dynamic, high-wire hardcore of Weak, who just released jackhammering single “Stay” ahead of an upcoming new album. (8 p.m. Friday, March 13, Will’s Pub, $15)
Brandee Younger Trio: Of all the musical instruments out there, the harp is the cloistered monk of the bunch. Besides angels at the pearly gates, what else does it evoke? Exactly. However, there are indeed some visionary harpists recontextualizing it, like avant-garde mavericks Zeena Parkins and Mary Lattimore. But Grammynominated harpist-composer Brandee Younger is bringing the celestial instrument to new relevancy by planting a bold flag in the popular grounds of jazz, soul and R&B.
With a trio that vibes more as a jazz combo than a chamber group, Younger coaxes the best from both worlds, at once elevating the contemporary and giving the divine some style. If this is the house band, then that’s my kind of heaven. (6 p.m. & 9 p.m. Saturday, March 14, and 5 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Sunday, March 15, Judson’s Live, $40.71-$58.41) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Cheap Trick
Seemingly ageless power-pop armada Cheap Trick — seriously, these gents are in their 70s — are returning to Orlando with a new album of songs to show off. The band, anchored by stalwarts Rick Nielsen on guitar and vocalist Robin Zander, just released newest collection All Washed Up and are back in Florida already after gigs supporting Styx in February. Bassist Peterson recently told American Songwriter that they’ll “keep going until they drop,” and for fans of sugary-sweet earworm pop hooks melded to eccentrically arena-ready riffs and over-the-top solos, that’s great (if not slightly dark-humored) news. 8 p.m., Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $80-$278.

Michelle Buteau
Michelle Buteau’s “Surviving and Thriving” stand-up tour is finally making a stop at the Hard Rock Live in Orlando. (The tour was rescheduled from last year.) Buteau’s award-winning scripted shows and fan-fave comedy specials have solidified her as a comedy powerhouse. She made history in the summer of 2024 with her second Netflix comedy special, Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall; she was the first woman to record a special in the storied venue. The milestone special saw her call out rampant transphobia from her peers in the comedy scene. She strives to create a safe environment where people can laugh while also drawing attention to social issues. Buteau’s quick-witted laughter-as-medicine style will bring “surviving and thriving” to vivid and empathic life. 7:30 p.m., Hard Rock Live Orlando, 6050 Universal Blvd., entertainment.hardrock.com, $53. — Mia Schaeperkoetter

You may know musician Nathan Landolt as part of excellent young post-punk act Secret Shame, but it’s time to acquaint yourself with his harsh solo vehicle Corpse Dust. You can, in this case, judge a book by its cover (well, project name); Corpse Dust is a harrowing journey into an unrelenting industrial dystopia. Think the rudimentary unease of Dive and Klinik crossed with the explosive atonality of Frontline Assembly and Noise Unit. Plus St.

Meet Luna!
Three-year-old Luna (A563670) was adopted from our shelter over a year ago. Back then, it seemed like Luna had been one of the lucky ones, finding a home so soon after coming to the shelter. Sadly, her owner was neglectful and was cited, and Luna found herself back to our shelter, almost 15 pounds lighter than when she left us.
The incredible thing about this dog? Luna seems completely unbothered by her situation. She eats and plays happily, she meets everyone with a softly wagging tail, and she loves easily. It speaks volumes about the resilience of dogs. Regardless of how she was mistreated, it’s clear Luna still has faith in the human heart. Luna is going to need patience and some additional care to get her up to a good weight again. She’s had a rough year, and we’re truly hoping to change that for her.
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.
