The 1310 Gallery at Sailboat Bend Artists’ Loft is not exactly easy to find. Not a big place with tons of public parking, but more a cozy enclave of working artists. Perhaps it’s fitting that the Red Light Art Exhibit’s explicit images of male and female genitalia are slightly tucked…
Here comes a serious blow to everyone’s weekend: Rod Stewart and Stevie Nicks’ Heart & Soul Tour isn’t going to start in South Florida after all. Back in January, it was announced that Sunday’s show at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise would be the kickoff date for a 13-show trek around…
When we last checked in with Miami’s Nobodys Hero, they were about to embark on a Florida tour with punk icons NOFX and the Bouncing Souls. Unwilling to rest on their laurels, the South Florida foursome is formally celebrating the release of their self-titled debut at Churchill’s tomorrow night.In a…
Sure, we just listed give ways Charlie Sheen could stay #winning at his upcoming, just-scheduled performance at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise on April 23. But how can he pump himself up musically for the show to really get in the #winning spirit? How about the ode to, well, Sheen…
Charlie Sheen is at it… again. And while we’re in Sheen’s Korner just as much as the next guy, we can’t wait to see what new memes he’s going to cook up next in … Fort Lauderdale?! Yes, you read right. The “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an…
The annual Jazz in the Gardens festival returns to Sun Life Stadium this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday. As in the recent past, the lineup promises yes, jazz, of course — but also some of the leading artists in R&B, soul, and other assorted grown-and-sexy urban music. The big name this…
File this under: Things Everyone Including Us Should Have Known About Earlier But Didn’t, For Whatever Reason. Tonight, Miami rockers Jacobs Ladder open for Anthony Green at Culture Room. Yes, that’s the Anthony Green from Saosin a million scene years ago, and most recently from Circa Survive. You’ll know him and…
Music vet and New Times scribe Lee Zimmerman shares stories of memorable rock ‘n’ roll encounters that took place in our local environs. This week: Significant others embrace the rock rock regimen.I’m not the first to say that rock and roll and domesticity often don’t make good bed fellows, either…
Kiss Hard Rock Live, Hollywood March 17, 2011Last night, most people were donning their greenest green garb and getting sloshed on Guinness while jigging it up at their favorite local pub. But in South Florida, a few thousand epic nerds were instead at the Hard Rock Live, decked out in black and…

The burgeoning, demented Americana scene in Lake Worth now has an official home. John Wylie, guitarist for country rock troupe Heavy Boots is starting up a new record label carrying some of the most promising (and twisted) punkabilly bands Palm Beach County has to offer. Joining him on this venture…
Two months ago, the Strokes announced the track list for its new album, Angles. Using all of my musical knowledge and psychic prowess, I predicted what the album would sound like track by track. Well, the album is out March 21, and the album the guys made is not the…
Deerfield Beach native Ace Hood did not opt to film his “Hustle Hard” video locally. Or if he did, the setting is decidedly somewhere outside South Florida. On a gritty street in Urbanville, USA, Hood weathers the seasons and uses a back-and-forth pan aesthetic to tell his story as the…
After witnessing Odd Future, those provocative young rapper chaps from Los Angeles, on the mtvU Woodie Awards, it’s hard to imagine enjoying anything more. Start with a pint-sized guy dressed in knee-high socks and a green ski mask like Tyler, the Creator, lead up to a confrontation between Tyler Jr…
Rebelution Revolution, Fort Lauderdale March 16, 2011 Surf scene reggae bands always do well in South Florida, and that statement is especially true for the month of March, aka “Spring Break!”. For the sold-out show, a line wrapped around the building for will call tickets. Rebelution, the headliner of the…
Kiss us; we’re Irish. St. Patrick’s Day’s creepy little green guy will be overshadowed by larger, possibly more satanic, man-monsters this year when Kiss brings its “Hottest Show on Earth Tour” to the Seminole Hard Rock on March 17 — one of only two scheduled North American appearances for 2011…
Though Murs got his start in L.A. in the early ’90s, his message has always been anti-gangster, thumbing his nose at the violent outlook of gangsta rap over beats that are just as infectious. His delivery is strong, clear, and honest — whether he’s making social commentary about race and…
Philip Glass is a heavyweight of contemporary minimalism. Alongside auteurs such as Steve Reich and John Cage, Glass is, simply put, one of the biggest, boldest names in 20th-century music. And much like those peers in experimentation, his oeuvre delicately and delightfully blurs the line between the colloquially dubbed classical…
Right now, if we were to play a game of pop-culture free association beginning with the ever-infamous name Bobby Brown, our minds would probably wander off in the following direction: Whitney Houston, cocaine, reality TV. But there was a time, circa 1989 (an era of Brown’s life also known as…
It’s an amusing bit of irony, really, that Freezepop’s most popular songs are “Less Talk More Rokk” and “Get Ready 2 Rokk,” as the quirky synth-pop act formed in 1999 to purposely provide an electronic antithesis to all of the rock played in Boston. Since then, the act’s gained prominence…
After a three-year recording hiatus, Lake Worth emotive singer John Ralston is issuing forth a flurry of activity. This past Christmas saw the release of seven-inch single “Jesus Christ,” a bit of Americana for the holidays, on mom-and-pop Tampa-based label 24 Hour Service Station. Last year, he also contributed to…
Although it may initially seem strange, a double bill combining raspy-voiced, spiky-haired dandy Rod Stewart and self-styled earth mother Stevie Nicks actually makes sense. It could serve a purpose, mainly to ease Nicks out of temporary retirement and to bring Roddy back to rock after years of crooning. Indeed, both…
