Well this should rattle everything within 100 yards. DJ Khaled assembles Florida’s blue-chip rappers Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Plies for a verse each on “Welcome to My Hood,” a song detailing an enormous neighborhood of strip clubs, liquor stores, old-school Chevys, hopscotch (!), and the sort of place the…
Season 10 of American Idol premieres January 19 on Fox and with it come changes to the show, the most blaring of which is the exit of judges Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi and the entrance of pop celebrities Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. The only returning judge will…
Of Montreal frontman, Kevin Barnes, and his brother, David, the band’s artistic director, grew up in West Palm Beach and are returning to their South Florida roots tonight for a show (or, more aptly, an energetic, colorful, costume-laden spectacle) at Revolution in Fort Lauderdale. The tour promotes their latest album,…
John Ralston and his music are true poetry. His words are what holds the music and makes you go, “I never thought of that.” “White Spiders,” sounds like a more subdued version of the Shins. His voice sounds like it belongs in the ’60s or ’70s, but he has managed…
You can’t always get what you want, unless you happen to want to hear a live rendition of one of the finest Rolling Stones album set to wax this weekend at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts.Take advantage of today’s deal to see Classic Albums Live present the Rolling…
Rapper Gucci Mane loves ice cream so much he got three bluish scoops in a lightning-emitting cone tattooed on his face. The sweet, edible ink is courtesy of Shane Willoughby. We think other stars are gonna follow suit. Everyone loves food, tattoos are super badass, and what’s the most super…
The Methodaires S/T EP (Self-released) www.methodaires.com For a while there I honestly believed that The Methodaires were not gonna get it together and make studio time. But no, they did get themselves together and recorded this delicious six song EP.Comprised of the deliciously esoteric Nia Devine on vocals, Joe Basi…
A lot has happened in the six years that Floridas Dying has been around: the Huygens probe landed on Saturn’s moon, Titan, the Stardust spacecraft returned to Earth and, in that same geographically-disconnected vein, the world above this isolated state starting paying more attention to its musical stirrings. This could…
Chalk another high-profile friendship up for Mayday! Miami’s premier live hip-hop crew may be best known in mainstream circles for rocking with Weezy, but a new single released yesterday could give them some more crossover momentum. “Highs and Lows” is the group’s first collaboration with 22-year-old Deerfield Beach-based Ace Hood, a Def…
Before the advent of DVR, watching the Grammys telecast was a slog. Aside from the fact that the awards show forces you to sit through canny speeches by industry sellouts like Vampire Weekend and the Black Keys, the glut of performers stretches the show into a four-hour affair. Sure, there…
People might give Wilton Manors all the credit as the center of gay cheer and merrymaking in South Florida, but years ago, Lake Worth was voted the most gay-friendly city of its size. And before Lake Worth’s Propaganda became a hotbed of indie rock and hipsterlicious schmoozing, it was one…
With a critically acclaimed debut record under their belt and a highly anticipated followup in the works, instant cred for memorable live shows that are as much tent revival as rock show, and multiple unlikely singles featured in national ad campaigns, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (who we saw…
At its best, the jam band scene offers a friendly space for peaceful folks to come together and celebrate freedom, creativity and togetherness. At its worst, it’s a “fish in the barrel” type situation where the many faces of “the man” can come together and celebrate obsolete drug laws. Unfortunately…
Over its multidecade history, Little Feat has undergone a tangled trajectory. Founded by guitarist Lowell George, a former member of Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, Little Feat evolved from two earlier outfits, the Fraternity of Man and the Factory. Fusing rock, blues, country, boogie, and R&B, songs like “Willin’,” “Dixie…
The ukulele’s appeal in non-Hawaiian music is limited by its unimposing size and a small range of notes, and guitar is just a cooler word. Regardless, Jake Shimabukuro has dedicated his skills to the miniature instrument. A YouTube upload of his take on the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”…
For those unfamiliar, Of Montreal is like P-Funk for sensitive kids. Kevin Barnes and his band blend personal lyrics with booty-shakin’ beats and psychedelic theatrics. It’s as sexual as the funk from the Mothership but perhaps a bit more stimulating above the waist as well. A product of the Elephant…
Legendary for incorporating the surf sound into California hardcore, Agent Orange has been at it for 31 years, and while it lives on the fury of a handful of releases, the live shows are usually excellent, ear-destroying affairs. In August 2009, the band played this same stage with scene stalwarts…
Getting to see Miami’s synth-fused indie duo Awesome New Republic — or ANR, of late — in Palm Beach County is enough of a delicacy in itself. Supplement that with the draw of a brand-new Discosoma Records seven-inch platter for “Big Problem”/”Dead Gulf” debuting that night, and the evening should…
Over the past 16 years, Arizona punk act Authority Zero has survived numerous lineup changes, demanding tours, emo madness, and an evolving music industry. That’s why it’s no surprise that its latest full-length endeavor is appropriately dubbed Stories of Survival. Also not surprising is the band’s riot-inducing live performances that…
Lost in the Trees is a seven-strong collective from North Carolina likely to nourish the mossy side of your trunk with its sumptuous, string-filled folk that occasionally borders on symphonic. Recently reissued on the discerning Anti- label, the group’s All Alone in an Empty House finds a wider audience for…
In a five-year span between 1996 and 2001, the eclectic hip-hop and rock act Cake experienced a massive breakout. Led by frontman John McCrea’s deadpan vocals, the crew scored hits “The Distance,” “Never There,” and “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” and kept up a consistent touring schedule and a seemingly ever-widening following…
