In an apparent attempt to show South Floridians the biggest line of coke they’ve ever seen — an ambitious move, for sure — at least 17 local theaters will join nearly 500 other theaters nationwide for a special screening of Scarface, which will include the debut of a 20-minute featurette…
If the Damned Things show at Revolution doesn’t provide you with ample opportunity to show off all of your tattoos or if you’re simply not done going berserk, don’t fret. You’ll have more time to strut your rocker stuff — and go nuts to more raging bands — next door…
Historically, the jet set were people of great wealth who used their exceptional financial resources to fly around in airplanes — something the general public at the time could not afford to do — indulging in decadent activities together. Today, flights are often cheaper than Greyhound bus tickets, and, more…
Many of us who have chosen the tip of this peninsula as our dwelling place have done so because, well, we like it hot! But as we all know, there are those pesky few days each year when the temperature dips down into the 30s. You may ask, “Is there…
It’s not always easy being “the new guy,” but if you do it right, it can be a great experience for all involved. When John Hruby (formerly of Guest) joined Georgia-based jam band Perpetual Groove back in 2008, the band had more than a decade of jamming under its belt,…
Slightly Stoopid is well-loved by fans for a laid-back vibe, not for stupidity. However, if one were to think about it — or maybe overthink about it — a line can be drawn between the two. No one is immune from stupidity. To truly be laid-back is to be laid-back…
Local poet, event host, promoter, personality, and artist Renda Writer has announced that he is stepping down from his post as chief editor and vice president of WeMerge Magazine — a publication devoted to the local arts scene that he cofounded four years ago. In his resignation letter — which…
Most people who love Jerry Garcia never had the good fortune of meeting him — in the conventional sense. Many of us did not even have the good fortune of seeing Jerry Garcia in person. However, we’ve all come to know and love him in our own ways through our…
It’s time once again for the freaks to descend en masse upon movie theaters across the country. This time, though, instead of the good ol’ Grateful Dead, it will be a slew of some of the world’s most famous knob-tweaking, needle-dropping DJs — including David Guetta, Deadmau5, Will.I.Am, and Moby…
There is no escaping the stuff of life — on the street, in your office, under your bed, up on the mountain: stuff, stuff, stuff. Are there even more than two choices? We either make ourselves at home in the stuff or we hide from the stuff that’s inside a…
As you circle the scene, immersed in artwork on walls and artistic activity everywhere, you may become dizzy. At all times — as this big, lovely planet revolves around the sun — personal revolutions are taking place in the minds of the artists. These new works inspire further works, and…
Check out all of our Kiss Kruise coverage here.From observing the musical cruise trend, it’s becoming quite clear that no species of rocker is afraid of the high seas and sunshine. In the past year we’ve bid “Bon Voyage” to the hippies (Jam Cruise), the hipsters (Bruise Cruise), and the…
Many South Floridians relate to the Langerado Music Festival like it’s our little nephew. We have had lots of fun playing with it, and we adore it, but ultimately we are not its parents and don’t get to make the big decisions in its life. When the fest was born…
This past Saturday, more than 50 of the area’s finest graffiti artists came out of the shadows to exhibit their skills at the New Era South Florida Graffiti Expo at FAT Village. In addition to the painters, there were DJs, roller derby grrls, skateboarders, food trucks, and lots of happy…
Those who seek the weird will be immediately drawn to the Dead Kenny G’s — currently on tour supporting Primus and playing a free show at Hurricane Bar on June 5 — simply by virtue of the name. Adding to the allure is their appropriately ridiculous look — they are…
After a long weekend of unholy behavior, it can be tempting to spend Sunday in your house recovering. Or in the house of God repenting. This Sunday, there is a third housing option: “The Summer of Love Part 1 House Music Festival.” Beginning at 11 a.m. and featuring 40 DJs…
While Florida’s swamplands are dwindling away, the popularity of one of the state’s strongest musical advocates for its natural beauty has been growing steadily. Since JJ Grey & Mofro first began dishing out its signature brand of Florida swamp funk over a decade ago, their fan base has spread like…
“Don’t consider yourself too hip to see me.” That was Bill Cosby’s confident message in a promo for his current standup comedy tour. In response, it would be a funny move for all attendees to rock their ugliest/hippest Cosby sweaters to the show. He will be at Seminole Hard Rock…
Even if it seems like just yesterday that Bob Dylan was a folk-singin’ little whippersnapper hanging around Greenwich Village, it was practically 50 years ago. For folks who have seen or heard Dylan in recent years, it should come as no surprise that he will be celebrating his 70th birthday…
Three decades after Bob Marley’s death, the man remains a positive and peaceful presence all around the world through his music, his words, and in countless images. As we mark the anniversary of his death today, we also are glad to report the birth of a wonderful project from one…
Those who haven’t lent their ears to mainstream rock radio since the heyday of 94.9 Zeta (mid-late ’90s) may think that the Seattle postgrunge act Candlebox’s days in the spotlight are “far behind” them. Actually, though, the band reunited a few years back, released its fourth studio album, 2008’s Into…
As any old hippie will tell you, there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert. Also though, there is nothing like a bunch of Deadheads filling a movie theater for a screening of a Grateful Dead concert film. This past 4/20 high holiday, The Grateful Dead Movie — the strangest…
