The Eagles BankAtlantic Center, Sunrise Wednesday, October 27, 2010 There are three things one can expect from an Eagles concert. One, a perfect performance. Two, a bundle of hits. And three… well, with one and two each a given, who needs a “three”? Those who have seen the sometimes-feisty foursome…
Here’s a slideshow from the concert.PhoenixFillmore Miami Beach, MiamiWednesday, October 27, 2010The Review:Despite everyone’s hopes that a Phoenix/Daft Punk collaboration would become a nightly event, there were no robots at the Fillmore last night. But there was something else: a damned good show…
The Halloween Street Scene & Soul Parade in Lake Worth has added Surfer Blood as a headliner. The four-stage event takes place in the city’s downtown area on Saturday, October 30 (more events are on October 29 as well). Just in case any Surfer Blood fans staring at a calendar…
Much like Robyn, Little Boots, and Annie, La Roux is another European alt-dance commodity with outlandish hair and songs seemingly too brash for ubiquity in the U.S. Yet La Roux’s flame-maned vocalist Elly Jackson and keyboardist/co-producer Ben Langmaid have infiltrated America (much like Robyn’s brief reign 14 years ago) with…
Guys, if you’re wondering where all the ladies are on Thursday evening, try Round Up Country Western Nightclub. That’s where country superstar and überheartthrob Jake Owen will be performing many of his biggest hits, including “Eight Second Ride,” “Startin’ With Me,” “Something About a Woman,” and “Yee Haw.” Owen’s star…
On April 28, 1990, a 4-month-old band called Marilyn Manson & the Spooky Kids (they were never separate entities) played its first live show at Churchill’s Pub. In the next few years, the band would, in an act of practicality, drop the Spooky Kids suffix, get signed to a major…
The former Soviet Republic of Russia didn’t actually consist entirely of spies on covert James Bond-esque missions and men in furry hats constantly shooting vodka. Take Red Elvises’ frontman Igor Yuzov, for example, who grew up in Cold War-era Russia fantasizing about American rock ‘n’ roll. Yuzov’s idolatry of U.S…
It’s now been more than two years since music lovers gathered in the ‘glades for the last Langerado, the annual fest-supreme that for six years strong served as a backyard blessing for the locals and an excuse to bum-rush the equator for the traveling hippies. For those who have been…
At first glance, Jamey Johnson looks like someone who just walked out of the outlaw movement. That’s probably because he spent the better part of a decade in the Marines after dropping out of college. Unlike the “outlaws,” though, Johnson moved to Nashville to pursue the beloved country music of…
San Diego fuzz freaks Crocodiles don’t make Arizona immigration zealot Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s playlist. He hates them. Ever since the duo released a feel-good, anti-SB 1070 single titled “Kill Joe Arpaio” last month, the Maricopa County law enforcer has been bashing the band via Twitter, television, and any other mediated…
Tornado Rider is deeply committed to its wackiness. The Oakland trio’s MySpace bio hails them as “a powerful bird band of swirling goat god victory” before it completely devolves into some nonsense about “Norwegian butt-death” and “Nubian fire heaven.” The group plays “Sneth rock,” which stems from Snee, a land…
It’s a little too perfect that A Place to Bury Strangers is headlining Moonfest 2010. The Brooklyn shoegaze act not only has a name that screams spookiness, but the trio’s history of sheer sheets of noise suggests that the decibel level should stretch all the way up and down West…
Reggae singer Gregory Isaacs, best-known for his pure vocal strength on tracks like “Night Nurse,” passed away on Monday in London at age 59 after a battle with cancer. Since then, a number of tributes and eulogies to the “Cool Ruler” have followed. The Jamaica Observer caught up with several…
It was only a matter of time before the Next Media Animation folks were enlisted for a music video — and Diplo and Lil Jon’s “U Don’t Like Me” is ideal. After purposely skewing and adding uncomfortable moments in digital re-creations of Brett Favre screwing up his career, JetBlue flight…
Tonight’s Phoenix show at Fillmore Miami might not have the same OMG/WTF/LOL quotient of the recent Madison Square Garden extravaganza. But it still might. In any case, we know that Wavves will open for the French rockers, and that has a level of intrigue worth showing up early for.Most important,…
Hey, geniuses. This is perhaps your final reminder. Although it’s going to be a very busy weekend of finding the right Nicki Minaj wig or sculpting the best papier-mâché spike to drive through your stomach, take a few minutes to grab a wad of cash. We’ve mentioned the MasterMind Awards…
This week’s edition of New Times Broward Palm Beach is dressed as an NBA basketball player — or as a drifter dressed like an NBA basketball player. Not bad, but readers of the music section can do more. Halloween is upon us, and there are probably some leather items in…
Our favorite Wellington neighbor, Robert Van Winkle, has been making so much news with his renovation television show, The Vanilla Ice Project (season two just got picked up!), that we’re just catching up with the developments of his next studio album. Titled WTF, this project is due for a November…
In our Moving Units column, Mike Ramirez at Fort Lauderdale’s Radio-Active Records graciously keeps us up-to-date and comments on the current releases flying out of his store each week.The intrigue of the week: Esben and the Witch is an English trio (featuring no one named Esben) ready to cast spells…
Red Eye seems to be the immature, slightly annoying Fox alternative to high-minded news comedy hours like the Daily Show and Colbert Report; almost like the bratty punks of late-night comedy. But judging by the roster of musicians the show has invited on — Danzig, Fucked Up, Rob Zombie –…
Looking for the 2011 lineup? Click here.Although the Y100 Jingle Ball 2010 lineup isn’t posted on the radio station’s site yet and won’t be announced on-air until Friday, Ticketmaster had different ideas. Ten artists who are “subject to change” are listed on the event page right now for the December…
Last month, we brought a pair of MP3s for your enjoyment via our County Grind (Broward/Palm Beach) and Crossfade (Miami) blogs. Aside from the monetary benefits of doing work, I did this because I’ve always felt it my duty to represent local music and musicians throughout the seven years that…
