One of Hollywood’s newest live music venues, the Native Florida Tap Room and Music Hall, has already brought many a talented act to the stage. From foul-mouthed soulman Blowfly to neophyte metalheads Neolythyc, the club is representing local music and some imports in a way that is serious and committed, fun…
Protoman is a society man. Well, a Black Locust Society man. Along with fellow BLS musicians, he represents the 954 in words and with beats. The Fort Lauderdale hip-hop artist dug into musical tracks of times past and came back with a gem. This gem is called “I Wanna Be a…
3 Pill Morning’s singer Jeff Stebbins summed up what the band is feeling right now, “We’re loving life and excited for all of our fans to hear the new stuff and hit one of our shows.” They certainly are busy, and why not love life? It’s looking good. The band…
Though Don Felder, former lead guitarist of the Eagles, wrote the music for “Hotel California,” he is truly a Florida guy. The Gainesville native spent his college years playing music around the state with other future rock legends and many of his adult nights recording in Miami. Felder came up musically…
Word hit the web via Brooklyn Vegan yesterday that Hollywood trio Beach Day has been signed to Williamsburg’s Kanine Records. The New York indie label also represents Grizzly Bear, Chairlift, and local sonic heroes Surfer Blood. We first heard the band live when it opened with Lil Daggers for Black Lips at…
Nick Zammuto immediately raves about the Radiohead concert he’d just seen the night before after calling for an interview. “It was my first time ever seeing them; I’m still kind of riding high from that. It was amazing,” he says. His newest band, Zammuto is, like Radiohead, currently also on hitting…
Lil Daggers delivers sounds that are stabbingly dark, at times hypnotically mellow, laced with danceable stretches. Influenced by: “Good times. Bad times.” According to their Facebook page (the source of all things true), their music reflects these fractured elements. There’s a psych-stoner appeal to the songs that leads one to…
Just before the new year, the guys in psych outfit Ice Cream packed their gear and boarded jet planes for New York City. They had just released their first EP, Good, and, having grown a bit too big for their Miami britches, these five guys sadly parted with South Florida. Well,…
Every self-respecting Music fanatic living in South Florida needs to be carrying around a copy of PureHoney with them everywhere they go. Everywhere. You wouldn’t want to miss any bands that come down this way because you were ill-informed. PureHoney — which exists both online and in print — offers…
If GET LOW were a human being, it’d be an absurdly loud, dancing toddler, drunk on beats and tallboys. The weekly dubstep and hip-hop blowout is hitting its three-year mark on the Miami scene this Thursday, celebrating with Japan’s Goth-Trad, New Zealand’s Truth, and resident DJs Juan Basshead and Ashworth. The (((SHAKE)))…
Does DMX really need a comeback album? If you’re over the age of 20, and have heard of this music we call “hip-hop,” you’d likely say, “no.” But the Ruff Ryder is coming back on the scene this fall with a tour and a new album Undisputed. He collaborated with Swizz…
Jesse Jackson is hardly an anonymous face in the crowd. He’s tall, so that makes him noticeable, and with his long blond hair and high cheekbones, even before words or song exit his mouth, you know there’s something he has that you need to listen to. Jackson has been a staple…
When The Toilets’ Ellis D. Traails contacted us with a very special mixtape Joey Blank – Oddball The Caustic Silence Vol I, we were at first confused. What is this metal man doing making and circulating straight up hip-hop? We asked Traails what the hell he was thinking changing genres on…
You may not know his face or sweaty chest, but everyone’s familiar with the songs of Neil Diamond. This old crooner was quite the baja panti in his day. Hell, he remains a sex symbol for more women and men than the Biebs. New Times writer Lee Zimmerman claims this…
Update: The film will not be screening at Revolution Live. Party only. As you may have already read on County Grind, I’m like really famous. This is because I was an extra in the upcoming film Rock of Ages starring the ever obnoxious Tom Cruise, who appears with his top…
Ever get into a musical funk? You look at your iPod and you think: If I have to hear any of this music again, I will feed myself to alligators or that naked man on the MacArthur Causeway. It’s hard sometimes to admit that you need help finding music that breathes…
County Grind made its way out to the little tattoo-shop-cum-tiki-hut-style watering hole next to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport last Friday for a stellar and memorable 954 musical showcase. Hosts of the inaugural monthly BLS954 affair, Black Locust Society, brought the Broward love with hip-hop artists Bleubird, Protoman, Gaps, and Jabrjaw…
Before we go through and dissect the seemingly simple video for Maybach’s Omarion’s song “Let’s Talk,” pulling apart its every oddity or awkward moment, it’s important to mention that there are boobs in it. Lots of very big boobs, so be careful pressing play if you work in a place…
Atlanta hip-hop artist Future’s show scheduled for tonight, Tuesday, May 29, has been canceled. The concert was set to take place at Revolution and would have featured Pusha T. There was no explanation as to why the Southern rapper won’t be heading to our local music hall, but you’ll be…
It’s not everyday that an Iranian-born DJ with roots in house music comes to the Sunshine State, but Sharam — who fits this description — will be spinning all sorts of dance music for South Florida electro-heads this Sunday. One part of the electronic duo Deep Dish, Sharam has created…
The number of cases of Bieber fever just rose around the continent. Justin is back this fall on a North American tour, and he’s heading all the way to the dirty south to wrap things up on January 26, 2013 at the American Airlines Arena. Lately, the Biebs has been treated…
You may not know his face or sweaty chest, but everyone knows the songs of Neil Diamond. This old crooner was quite the baja panti in his day. Hell, he remains a sex symbol for more women and men than the Biebs ever will. County Grind writer Lee Zimmerman claimed…
