What happens when a love-crazed Miami club promoter spends a few days in Las Vegas, hits a small jackpot in a roulette table, and then ties the knot at a kitschy wedding chapel complete with an Elvis-impersonator minister? For Oski Gonzalez, Tobacco Road’s resident DJ and head promoter,...

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...

While lyrically fusing the activist-artist model of feminist folk rockers like Ani Difranco with the cuter, hornier ramblings of indie-folks like Kimya Dawson, Ruiz's upbeat, sunny music and sassy classic jazz vocals ultimately recall another coy South Florida strummer: Rachel Goodrich. Just...

Bardot :
Sat., February 11
|
Having a good time on a Saturday night at Bardot is no mission impossible, especially when Com Truise is in the house. The Ghostly International label signee presents warped synth visions of future past that should segue easily from the experimental indie and DJ acts that open for him.

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...

Seattle is the staph-infected armpit of America, and grunge is the second-worst-smelling music genre next to crust punk. In Seattle, it’s illegal to burn flannel, and you have to meet an elitist quotient to claim residency. Twenty years ago, the city thought itself too cool for Candlebox,...

Yeah, yeah, Churchill's is a great place to drink beer, shoot pool, smoke cigs, look surly, and show off your lousy acting talent — but it's also got one hell of a jazz jam. Monday nights are what you want. The music starts around 9:00 p.m. and includes a performance by a band, followed...

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...

In late January, West Palm Beach's Band in Heaven enjoyed a Brooklyn Vegan premier of the video for the group's latest song, "Sludgy Dreams." It seems that all excellent South Florida acts need these days is a quick nod from a national major blog before things take off quickly -- see, of...

When the late Monterey Club opened, the relationship between it and adjoining Kreepy Tiki Tattoos was definitely symbiotic. If you were at a show early enough, you could wander into the shop -- the connecting door was usually open -- and check out the rotating art shows there or make an...

As alumni of a the late-'90s, early Warped Tour-type scene, Authority Zero are one of the few acts of their ilk not only surviving, but thriving on the underground circuit. The group has long specialized in fast, no-frills skate punk blended with reggae and a little ska. It's nowhere near as...

How can one man inspire so many different emotions over the years? In the '80s heyday of Bret Michaels' band Poison, he was the ultimate hair-band object of devotion, the kind of guy who would seemingly drink all your whiskey and leave, but at least write a song about it. Then in the '90s, he...

Currently, there are still a bunch of people who think that other people shouldn't be allowed to interact with a certain plant that grows on our planet. They don't even think that sick people who could benefit from using the plant as medicine should be allowed to do so. This would be okay,...

MAYDAY! may have something of a rep around South Florida for being a party band. This is true -- the hip-hop group's live shows are generally boisterous affairs. But careful listeners will have long ago noted a deeper, more cerebral and hard-edged side to the group.
What's long set them...

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...

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...

Few DJs can boast a history of beat-dropping that dates back to the days of grade school. Then again, few DJs grew up in houses as heavy with sound as that of DJ Oski. Oski's pops, Pepe Pothea, was a player — he handled percussion for some of salsa's most active bands throughout the '70s...
