This week, we wrap up our St. Pete Pride 2026 coverage riding out the final stretch of the parade with our amazing driver Abi (returning Skittle Squad guest and part of the band SWANIX) before catching up with her on everything she's got coming up.
Abi gives us the scoop on SWANIX's summer tour across Florida, including an upcoming show opening for the Soap Girls, and shares the exciting details on their East Coast tour heading to Salem, Massachusetts for its 400 year anniversary. We also get the inside track on the return of her Emo Cabaret, a two and a half hour showcase of jazz renditions of pop punk and emo hits complete with drag queens, burlesque dancers, and cohosts, plus a first look at her upcoming album, As Above So Below, dropping this fall.
Plus, David and Paul close out their wild day at St. Pete Pride with plenty of laughs and a few questions Abi wasn't quite ready for.
