The country is currently awash in Americana fever, with any number of rock radio favorites dabbling in the sounds of yore. It's part of a search for authenticity when so much pop radio is heavily synthesized, and partially a need for the warm fuzzy blanket of an imagined yesteryear. Cute though...

With his penchant for a sort of watery, pastel visual imagery, and the vaguely tropical-sounding name, it would be easy to file Sumsun away under the rapidly fading chillwave genre. Still, the artist born Judson Rogers has, as his output has increased, proved a penchant for a much wider...

The B-52s are living proof that sodium bloat and poor chopstick skills are not the only things that come from Chinese restaurants. The band formed in 1976 at such an establishment in Athens, Georgia, and named itself after the Southern slang term for exaggerated bouffant hairdos. The group...

Valentine’s Day, with its unabashed sappiness, candy, and commercialized cheer, would seem to be exactly everything the typical Smiths and Morrissey fan stands against. Aren’t followers of the famously dour Morrissey supposed to be bookish, wan, forever-alone types who scoff at the...

Somewhere deep down you've always wanted to be a rock star right? Everyone at some point sings just a little too loud in the shower or in the car, or writes a piece of poetry or prose which they're secretly proud of. It's time to stop dreaming and start doing tonight at Cheers Food and Spirits...

Soon, the Caribbean's largest gathering of jorts, horn-rimmed glasses, mustaches, and tank tops will convene aboard the Carnival Imagination for a three-night "tropical rock 'n' roll vacation" known as the Bruise Cruise. With shipboard entertainment provided by some of the biggest names...

The News Lounge :
Every week Wednesday, 9:00pm
|
Long before South Beach became a hotbed of mediocrity, there lurked a contingent of sound and vision aficionados known as the Deep House Movement. DHM's core consisted of Omar Suardy, from New York, Stephen Flynn, from Ireland, and Edwin Adams, a Florida boy who had little in common with those...

Seven Seas :
Every week Tuesday, Thursday

There’s something magical about Seven Seas Bar. Something more magical than David Blaine but a little less magical than a three-breasted mermaid whose third nip squirts out the cure for cancer. Perhaps it’s the cheap drinks, the ceiling tile plastered in random shoes, or the...

Hipsterism is a devilishly tricky game. It's all about transforming your day-to-day life into an almost unmanageable mountain of MP3 mixtapes, limited-edition T-shirts, social networking, and 24/7 self-promotion. And besides your cherished laptop, the best portal to this kind of advanced...

When the Vagabond's Thursday-night party, Money Shot, went kaput a couple of years ago and left a void in the venue's lineup, a group of misfits put together a little party called Shake that's been an immense success. Now its creators are ready to delve deeper into clubland. They've launched a...

Kill Your Idol :
Every week Wednesday, 11:00pm
|
We at New Times don't usually endorse ladies' nights -- the concept usually screams watered-down fruit martinis and purse-clutching group dances to Beyonce -- but it's worth heading over to Kill Your Idol for the bar's weekly Wednesday human jukeboxes, especially if your chromosomes are of the...

Machines deserve some TLC from time to time, especially if they’re the means for creating music that programs our bodies to shake. Extrapolate that thought to the “Digital Love Thursday” party series at Green Room in the Revolution/America’s Backyard complex in downtown Fort...

With locations already in the two music capitals of Memphis and Nashville and in the two tourist-trap capitals of Orlando and Las Vegas, B.B. King's opened a fifth location last December in West Palm Beach. (There is also an independently owned franchise in New York City's Times Square.) This...

Caliente Kitchen :
Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 4:00pm-7:00pm
|
|
Caliente is probably the best place to sample the wide world of tequila outside of certain areas of Mexico or Disney's Epcot Center. It's also a good place to get a good taco (in a red tortilla) at all hours of the day or night -- the taco window is open until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday!...

The Jib goes for a decidedly nautical theme, a theme that is then filtered through Jimmy Buffett's margarita. From the dock-like seating area (pylons and all) by the entrance and the tiki hut with the oceanview mural to the wall of tropical fish tanks and ceiling strewn with nautical flags, the...

Tuesday-night party Favela Chic is very much a misnomer, considering favela is Portuguese for slum. There is nothing chic about a place where gang activity, drug trade, and shanty houses are the norm. But we suppose American ignorance can make something so depressing and hostile seem trendy....

Spearheading much of mainland Miami nightlife's response to the tragedy in Haiti is a man known as the Haitian Hillbilly. Born Alain Maximilien, this hipster redneck (of sorts) not only spent many of his more formative years on the island nation, but also his father runs Maison des Anges, a...

Kahuna Awa Kava Bar :
Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 4:00pm-7:00pm

The Kahuna gives off an upscale vibe from the outside that belies the casual, relaxed mood inside. It does the Polynesian décor in a simple and effective way. Though it might just be all the hookahs everywhere, there also seems to be a bit of Middle Eastern styling to the place....

Every town has at least one Irish pub. It's part of the global Irish-industrial complex. O'Shea's is the West Palm Beach outpost for wayward Irishmen and women and locals looking for an authentic Irish experience -- or at least something different from the usual Clematis Street vibe.

Starlite Lounge, voted New Times' 2010 Best Hole in the Wall, is tucked away in a nondescript shopping plaza off Federal Highway. This gives it a speakeasy feel from the outside. But the inside couldn't be homier. All the patrons look like regulars. This seems due to its location, which is next...
