Brad Paisley With Justin Moore and Darius Rucker Cruzan Amphitheatre, West Palm Beach Saturday, August 14, 2010View a slideshow from the concert here. The Review: As Brad Paisley’s band played the opening notes of his latest chart-topping hit, “Water,” a ridiculously huge video screen loomed in the background with images…
Luna Rex are named after a ghost in their rehearsal space, and they’re probably picking up on some wily, haunted voodoo magic, because these guys — and one babe — rock very, very soulfully. They seem like a bunch of wayward kinsmen; songs like “Travels From a VW Bus” and…
Chelsea’s going away. Not Chelsea Clinton, no, not that one. That one got married. This Chelsea’s simply just going somewhere else. As confirmed by local promoter Scenemom Debbie, tattoo artist Chelsea “White Chelsea” Kronick is her daughter. As part of her departure celebrations before she moves to Jacksonville, N.C., the…
Life isn’t easy when you’re a band called Asspiss. And the hardcore punk quartet felt the burden of such a name yesterday, when a show was canceled because of it. Booked to play Lake Worth restaurant-by-day/alleged new hot music spot-by-night Little Munich tonight with bands Kill Now?! and Bartholin, Asspiss…

The bad boys of Boca Raton, Blond Fuzz, recently passed along the tidbit that its first album since switching the moniker from Stonefox will be out in October. According to frontman Jordan Asher Cruz, the original plan was to record an EP, but the plans got scrapped when there were…

Several local musicians and others closely associated with the scene already embraced the space as…
For a number of years I’ve been hearing the theory that rockabilly is the musical graveyard for people who grew up punk rock. Ever the tenacious and rebellious fringe genre that that entails, the creation of psychobilly in the late 70’s showed the incredible foresight the framers of the punk…
For a great read, check out Kory Grow’s print feature about Cynic, a group that originated in South Florida and managed to be influenced by numerous local music genres and the weather too. The band’s performance tonight at Culture Room will feature a trip through the band’s legendary metal back…
New Times Broward-Palm Beach Calendar Editor Mickie Centrone attends and details some of the finest — and occasionally subpar — events from a given week. Last Tuesday, she raided the “If It’s On, It’s Neon” event at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach. I’ve been to Ultra, I’ve seen Rabbit in…
County Grind’s assessment of Saturday’s Lake Worth-It 2010 festival in Lake Worth’s Bryant Park summed up the hot, occasionally rainy day celebrating the local scene as a solid first draft for what we hope can be a yearly event. Given that Of Montreal’s Kevin Barnes pulled out as the headliner…
Disney darlings the Jonas Brothers already have to elude legions of fans trying to get close to them, so it’s fitting that singer Joe Jonas would tether this rabid support into a charity event. This Labor Day, September 6, supporters can take part in the Joe Jonas iWin 5K Fun…
Umpteen conversations about Lake Worth post-punk outfit Guy Harvey begin with mentions of a T-shirt empire featuring legions of deep-sea delights, but usually matters shift rapidly to the interworkings of one of the area’s best live acts. Finally, the punch of concert climax-inducer “Take Your Time (With Me)” can be…
West Palm Beach indie pop quartet the Clementines recently unveiled a pair of new recordings on its Bandcamp page that nearly made morning coffee superfluous — that’s how much of a positive jolt they pack. “Everything Will Be Okay” was already stuck in County Grind’s head back in June, and…
When I took my disco-infiltrator persona beyond the confines of Broward and began injecting it into Miami’s Poplife party, I suddenly had a much larger audience to screw around with. My subversive dance maneuvers still got laughs from ordinary dance-floor citizens. But for the glorified pimps who looked like scenesters,…
Back after its run a decade ago, Lilith Fair hasn’t fared so well this time around. Poor ticket sales have plagued the tour, forcing cancellations at 13 spots, including our own in West Palm Beach. But no worries, South Florida! We already have a festival celebrating the XX-chromosomed. Tobacco Road’s FemmeFest, which takes place in November…
Vegas-born, L.A.-based Crystal Method always got pegged as a stateside answer to the Chemical Brothers. If that’s the case, it took the duo more than a decade to duplicate the Brothers’ formula: massively danceable, drugged-out epiphanies with loads of “very special guests.” When Crystal Method started out in 1994, the…
Last August marked the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival, the most celebrated concert in rock music history. One year later, the Seminole Casino is offering the public a collective flashback of sorts and spreading the good vibes to those who may not have inhaled the first time around…
Country fans can barely drink a glass of water these days without some image of Brad Paisley coming to mind. He even dove into a swimming pool while singing his hit single “Water” during the Academy of Country Music Awards and recently became a poster boy for the ongoing flood…
Some concerts should come with medical disclaimers akin to those found on videogames warning of epileptic seizures resulting from the ensuing visual bombardment. Such is the for case of the upcoming pop-a-thon at Ground Control, featuring Cash Cash, Stereo Skyline, and a host of other similarly spastic audio-sugar spinners. Cash…
Drunk-driving, hippie-hating, slur-spouting, sarcastic, and hopelessly catchy, Guttermouth has survived as a fully dysfunctional punk unit for 20-plus years. Jail time, deportation from Canada, and a slew of physical ailments all failed to derail the group’s efforts to make trouble and avoid getting real jobs. In an age when “punk”…
