4th Annual Valentines Elvis Wedding w/ Live Bands Tobacco Road : Fri., February 10
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,... More >>

The Avett Brothers Sunset Cove Amphitheater : Fri., February 10
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... More >>
Boca Raton	Valentine's Day, Music

Luis Bofill and Sol Ruiz PAX - Performing Arts eXchange : Fri., February 10
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... More >>

Com Truise 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. More >>

Sumsun The Speakeasy Lounge : Sat., February 11
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... More >>

Retro Indie Market The Boynton Beach Woman's Club : Sat., February 11, 11:00am
While cookie-cutter, imitation “hip stuff” can be found on the shelves of Ross, to really get the heart-quality goods, one must go closer to the source. At the Retro Indie Market, seekers can wander rows upon rows of genuine treasures, displayed and offered for purchase by the very... More >>

Tryst Green Room : Sat., February 11, 9:00pm
If you’re sick to death of Valentine’s Day by now, that’s OK. Us too. But don’t hate on the day. Don’t rant, “It was invented by the greeting card companies.” Wow, did you come up with that all by yourself? Shut up. Look, you either actually don’t... More >>

Valentine’s Fetish Ball Karu Nightclub : Sat., February 11, 10:00pm
Sex is one of the most taboo acts in human existence. Catholics seem to think it’s injurious to a person. And then you got the hippies believing free love is necessary for personal growth. But everyone can agree on one thing: When it’s good… oh, it’s damned good. It all... More >>

B-52s Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County : Sun., February 12
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... More >>

Kevin and Pete from Candlebox Ricochet Bar & Lounge : Sun., February 12
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,... More >>

Best of Miami Jazz Jam Churchill's Pub : Mon., February 13
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... More >>

Smiths and Morrissey tribute night Churchill's Pub : Tue., February 14
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... More >>

Picnic Huizenga Plaza : Tue., February 14, 6:00pm
Valentine’s! You forgot all about it! At this point, even your most powerful exertions won’t result in the kind of really romantic evening your mate is pining for, and s/he’ll probably resent you till Christmas. Unless you shell out $125 for one of these picnic packages... More >>

Sexy Party Downtown 28 : Tue., February 14, 9:00pm
One might think in today’s less structured and morally rigid society, dating would have gotten easier. One would be wrong. Sure, the old constructs of traditional courtship were stifling and restrictive, but without the letterman sweaters, fraternity pins, and promise rings, we... More >>

Digital Love Thursdays One Year Anniversary Green Room : Thu., February 16, 10:00pm
We know hipster has become quite the pejorative these days, but we really can’t see why. Hipsters are intellectual, independent thinkers with good taste in music, movies, and books; a love for skinny jeans and scarves; and a propensity for riding one-speed bicycles. We don’t see... More >>

The Band in Heaven The Vagabond : Fri., February 17
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... More >>

Pine Hill Haints Kreepy Tiki Lounge, Art Gallery, & Tattoos : Fri., February 17
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... More >>

Authority Zero Respectable Street : Sat., February 18
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... More >>

Bret Michaels Hard Rock Live : Sat., February 18
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... More >>

South Florida Men's Derby vs. Tampa Bay Men’s Derby and Gold Coast Derby GRRLS All-Stars vs. the Jacksonville Roller Girls War Memorial Auditorium : Sat., February 18, 6:00pm
Why aren’t roller derbies more popular in America. They’ve got everything we crave in our sports. Strength, speed, power, on-the-fly strategizing. The idea is this: A bunch of people on teams A and B skate around a track, with a designated member of each trying to lap the other... More >>

Love Thy Neighbor: Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts Resident Artists Group Exhibition Sailboat Bend Artist Lofts : Sat., February 18, 7:00pm
“Can’t you just pretend like we can’t hear each other through the walls?” You may remember that line from the cult classic Office Space, and if you’re like lots of apartment-dwelling folks, you may relate very much to the sentiment. For many, any neighborly... More >>

Burlesque Night with Morgan La Rue & the Shimmy Shake Revue Mickey's Bar & Package : Sat., February 18, 8:00pm
Not all erotic entertainment happens on 18-inch laptop screens. And cars? They’re more than just rolling computers. In fact, there is a strong sub-culture here that combines the two: the smell of hot steel under the hood and the sight of curvaceous figures on stage. Their home base was... More >>

14th Annual Medical Marijuana Benefit Concert Revolution Live : Sun., February 19
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,... More >>

Mayday Green Room : Wed., February 22
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... More >>

Egyptian Gallery Bass Museum of Art : Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Thu., November 3 until Sat., March 3
When the ancient working stiff was preparing for his journey into the afterlife, little did he know he would spend decades gathering dust in a musty Wynwood warehouse. But that's exactly where the Egyptian craftsman dating back to the 25th or 26th Dynasty (808-518 B.C.) was found inside a... More >>
