Can you imagine logging online and finding out that your long-forgotten high school band is the internet's biggest mystery? That's precisely what happened to British indie-rock band Panchiko, who released a demo EP in 2000 titled D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L. Although the album did not live up to its title, instead focusing more on shoegaze and trip-hop, someone found a copy of the EP in a thrift store in 2016 and set forth to discover who was behind it. After finally tracking down the band members, Panchiko reunited to fulfill their rockstar dreams. The band recently released its debut album, Failed at Math(s), and is set to take the stage at Gramps. 8 p.m. Wednesday, at Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; gramps.com. Sold out. Jose D. Duran

We've all got to start somewhere, and for local filmmakers, the 786 Film Festival, presented by Omega Spit, is hoping to provide that to them. Why not 305? To represent Miami's new generation of artists, the festival opted to celebrate the 786 overlay, which was introduced in 1998 after all 305 number combinations were exhausted. (Miami-Dade now has a third area code, 645, which will be introduced in August because 786 faces a similar fate.) But back to the films. Expect to see filmmakers of all skill levels spotlighted and Miami Community Radio helping with the broadcast. 7 p.m. Friday, at the Bridge, 4220 NW Seventh Ave., Miami; instagram.com/omegaspit. Tickets cost $10 via shotgun.live. Jose D. Duran

On Friday, at the Manuel Artime Theater, Florida L'Opera & Zarzuela showcases the 1896 original with Herman Diaz and Nathalie Ávila portraying Rodolfo and Mimi, respectively. 8 p.m. Friday, at the Manuel Artime Theater, 900 SW First St., Miami; 305-960-4680; miamigov.com/manuelartime.
