Weird Al YankovicMizner Park Amphitheater, Boca RatonSaturday, July 24, 2010If the thick South Florida heat was getting to Weird Al Yankovic Saturday night, he sure wasn’t showing it — even while donning a suit that turned him into a Hell’s Angels version of Humpty Dumpty for his performance of “Fat.”…
There’s nothing as invigorating as getting fully immersed in a sea of blood and thrashing bodies to get rid of a “case of the Mondays,” and that’s exactly what the extensive metal bill on the Summer Slaughter Tour promises. Well, maybe not the blood, but definitely the thrashing bodies. Headliners…
Thus far we’ve informed you on what some of your favorite bands think about Warped Tour, but with Tropical Storm Bonnie projected to hit South Florida this weekend, we’re thinking you might want to be extra prepared for the show today. You’re lucky we’re overpackers. We’ve come up with a…
Our Countdown to Warped Tour continues with another veteran band that’s been around for 20+ years, punk rockers Pennywise. They formed back in 1988 and helped cause a resurgence of the punk scene in California along with Bad Religion and NOFX, and have continued to do what they do best…
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 Thursday, she crashed the “Death Becomes Her” murder mystery show at the Green Room in Fort Lauderdale.”It reminds me of a party in the…
We were all shocked/outraged/saddened/confused when we heard that Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan took a spill at his show in Tampa on Wednesday. He seemed energized and true to SP form at his show at Revolution on Tuesday, and the only time we realized how tired he was took place…
One of the biggest bands headlining this year’s Warped Tour are ska masters Reel Big Fish. They’re known for their love of cover songs and their ’97 hit single “Sell Out,” but they couldn’t be further from that song title. They stick to their genre and just want to make…
Country fans: In addition to a trio of massive Cruzan dates already announced in this space (Brad Paisley on August 14, Toby Keith on September 4, and Rascal Flatts on September 24), we have a quartet of bookings coming up that will likely have you hogtied.The biggest of the big…
Now some of the gossip-type rags will probably be most interested in the fact that, oh, CONFIRMED: Evan Rachel Wood still crawls in the tattooed, pasty arms of our South Florida alumnus Marilyn Manson! However, this photograph is courtesy of the sexual napalm joke-tosser John Mayer (please click on the…
While the arts in Broward and Palm Beach have been showing some life outside of the major institutions for a while, this weekend happens to be pretty exceptional — and not only because of the annual fest ArtServe and the affiliated event Red Eye. Here is a roundup, though not an…
All the bands we’ve spoken to on the 2010 Warped Tour talk to fans, jam to their favorite frontmen (and women), and hang out with us ordinary folk. Sometimes they’ll even chow down when people are looking.Sure, most bands claim to be healthy eaters, but fans don’t know what goes…
It’s been six months since we’ve seen any action on Coral Springs dream-pop whiz Mike Diaz’s, AKA MillionYoung, tumblr page. But Diaz made up for lost time a couple of weeks back by posting a little nugget of chilled-out bliss: his electro-finessed rendition of 19th century French composer Erik Satie…
Seeing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in South Florida this year is now possible. Of course, you’ll have to buy tickets to Neil’s show on September 23 — also at Hard Rock Live. Anyhow, David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash have long been components in one of the most…
Pitchfork Music Festival 2010 Recap from MPLS.TV on Vimeo.Our lovely sister paper Minneapolis’ City Pages presents a charming video snapshot of this past weekend’s Pitchfork Festival, which was held in Chicago’s Union Park. Interspersed between interviews with Pitchfork head honcho Ryan Schreiber, comedian Michael Showalter, Neon Indian, Best Coast, South…
Shame on you if you missed last night’s sexy event at The Lounge. But we understand that you can’t be everywhere at once.So let us tell you a little bit about the EXPOSED art nouveau event: naked women, body paint, and vulva-licious artwork.Don’t get disappointed. We have a bounty of…
Our Countdown to Warped Tour in South Florida continues, with power-pop five-piece the Summer Set. They covered Usher’s “Love in This Club” with more energy than probably Usher himself while sticking to their guns and keeping their rock edge intact, making the hip-hop hit less about picking up girls and…
Tuesday night was a brief journey to the center of Billy Corgan’s universe when Revolution hosted a jam-packed Smashing Pumpkins concert in Fort Lauderdale. Some of us can’t get that beautiful bald head out of our minds, so here are two goodies for the day after the day after.First, the…
Sometimes it seems like you could do what Weird Al Yankovic does. He takes a hit pop song, replaces the lyrics with loose rhymes about inane topics in everyday life, dubs himself a “parody artist,” and tours the world as a rich, famous musician. You already insert ridiculous words into…
The blank stares greeting mentions of reggae band Inner Circle turn to nods of recognition once the Jamaican group is linked to “Bad Boys,” the ubiquitous theme from Cops (and eventually a couple of Will Smith-Martin Lawrence blockbusters). Brothers Ian and Roger Lewis formed Inner Circle in 1968, and the…
Aussie nü-metal group Sick Puppies was booked to play our shores for Respectable Street’s 22nd Anniversary Party last year, but the trio pulled a Flaming Lips on us and bailed out at the last minute. Just like the Lips, the Sydney three-piece is making amends — albeit a little farther…
We don’t practice Santería, and we ain’t got no crystal ball, so we had no clue that 21-year-old Rome Ramirez would team up with the surviving members of Sublime to form Sublime With Rome. Sounding more like a mixed drink than a band name, the ska/punk rockers are poised to…
