Minneapolis drunken life-hating poppy punk masters, Off With their Heads are coming back to South Florida for a (gross) Monday night event at Goo, on April 20. This is one of those bands that is awesome live, puts out great records, and doesn’t seem to give up on touring despite…
In the current economy, you’d better be sure that you get every bit of enjoyment you can out of your entertainment budget. Let’s say you’re looking to see a show this weekend. Sure you could buy tickets to one of the numerous rock acts playing, but all you’re getting is…
I found an e-flyer for an all-you-can-drink warehouse party in Kendall featuring live music and art, so as a member of the media it’s my responsibility to share that information with the world. Clubs are stupid, bars are expensive, parking lot drunks of the world unite! Straight-edge kids are welcome,…
Miami-Dade CorrectionsOn Wednesday, the Miami Herald reported that Luther Campbell had been taken to jail Tuesday night “for allegedly owing $10,223.36 in a child support case.” However, in an official statement yesterday, he claimed the money in question had nothing to do with the child support itself. He has fully…
Two of the biggest names in the genre are sharing the stage at the James L. Knight Center this Saturday, when Gilberto Santa Rosa and Victor Manuelle make a stop in Miami on their La Historia Continua tour. The two first made history when they united for the Dos Soneros,…

The tour will support the band’s still-untitled forthcoming studio album, due out…
via www.myspace.com/panicbomberLike a one-man Gravitron, Panic Bomber pulls you in, spins you around, and leaves you dizzy and smiling. He looks like a neon stick figure in motion, and sounds like a male Sade stuck in a rave. These are all good things. I had never heard of him, and…
Seeing Miami in a movie or a TV show or music video turns on my internal geek switch. I’m super excited to see the 305 represented on the screen, but I approach America’s assessment of Miami like one of those guys that knows the names of the different kinds of…
via www.meganddia.comHopeless Records and nonprofit organization Sub City have joined forces with music chain F.Y.E. to put on the eighth annual Take Action Tour. To date, this tour has raised over $550,000 for DoSomething.org, a nonprofit focused not on one particular charity, but rather on providing tools, resources and motivation…
Forget TV commercials (not that there’s anything wrong with them); for that matter forget TV shows too (ditto; sometimes). I mean, they’re all so 20th century. And you may as well also forget movie soundtracks. Because despite their potential enormity, few truly do go huge, let alone get big enough…
Can you believe it? Winter Music Conference is only five weeks away! We are already putting together our WMC Guide, which at this point seems a little, er, overwhelming to say the least. So many parties that we are having a hard time deciding what to do when the week…
Miami psych/punk outfit the Jacuzzi Boys are playing a 7″ release party at Churchill’s Pub on Friday, March 6. Needless Records is putting out the split with Austin’s Woven Bones. The Dade County side features “The Countess,” a sort of unearthly slow burner that highlights Gabriel’s vocals and makes a…
New York-born, Toronto-raised singer/songwriter Justin Nozuka boasts an entertainment-world pedigree that will perhaps forever haunt him in blurbs such as this one. His mother, Holly Sedgwick, is sister of actress Kyra — which makes Kevin Bacon his uncle and Edie Sedgwick a cousin. One brother, Phillip, is an actor, and…
Being local troubadour Jesse Jackson may not be easy, but it sure seems fun. Chicks come out of the woodwork, cats hang thick by your side, and songs slide straight out of the sky. You get to rise at dusk. And every week, you assemble a fluid bunch of fine-tuned…
It’s a little after 11 on a recent Friday morning in downtown Philadelphia, and if it’s not the coldest day of the year thus far, it damned sure feels like it. Luckily, the folks at World Café Live have taken pity on the hundreds of freezing fans who’ve turned up…
Name any Hall & Oates song and the melody springs immediately to mind. To name just a few: “She’s Gone,” “Sara Smile,” “Rich Girl,” “Kiss on My List,” “Private Eyes,” “Out of Touch,” “Maneater,” and “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do).” Each is a pitch-perfect confection of pop-soul…
It’s hard to overstate the influence of the long-running Norwegian band Satyricon on the world’s extreme heavy-metal scene. Its tenacity alone is amazing — the core of the band, frontman/songwriter Satyr and drummer Frost, has been playing together since 1992. On albums and tours, an all-star cast of supporting musicians…
No ifs, no ands, and definitely no buts about it — when DJ Jonathan Brody is asked to define his genre, he comes back with a quick and decisive “disco, disco, disco!” Sure, it swings “from new disco to Italo Disco to disco-house,” but in the end, it’s clear: This…
Boston synth-pop band Freezepop takes the stage Friday at the Vagabond and Saturday at Respectable Street. New Times asked members Liz Enthusiasm and Sean T. Drinkwater about videogames, TV shows, and who’d be on their dream tour – and what we should expect at their show. New Times: The other…
Clarence Greenwood is everywhere and nowhere. Turn on the television or go to a movie theater and you’re certain to hear his driving choruses or melodic refrains leit-motifing all kinds of popular culture (see Entourage, Teton Gravity Research, Acura commercials, and others). Greenwood, who records under the name Citizen Cope,…
We thought we’d left Sister Hazel and that song “All for You” way back in high school. Turns out we were wrong, because the band’s still roaming the nation, putting out CDs and performing the songs from the 1997 album …Somewhere More Familiar and all the albums they’ve put out…
via jenniferbatten.comQuestion: what’s hotter than female rock stars? The answer is obviously nothing. City Limits in Delray clearly knows this as they’ve just announced the Women Who Shred show on Saturday May 16th starring Jennifer Batten, who’s toured with the King of Pop and Jeff Beck, Vickie Genfan, Guitar Player…
