Yesterday afternoon, a crowd of devoted Thrice fans filled St. Petersburg’s iconic Daddy Kool Records, eager to have their copies of the band’s new album Horizons/West signed. The special in-store appearance came just hours before Thrice’s sold-out show at Jannus Live, giving fans a rare opportunity to meet the band up close.

In-store signings have become increasingly uncommon in today’s digital music era, but Thrice has made them part of their current tour, a nod to their roots and longtime supporters. Daddy Kool, a local treasure and essential stop for music lovers, once again proved why it remains a cornerstone of the Tampa Bay music scene. For fans and store staff alike, the visit was a moment to remember and a chance to connect face-to-face with one of rock’s most enduring and influential bands.
