Icona Pop fans may be "the fucking realest," but that's just because Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt are a pair of total badasses. "We are feminists and I think every good person on this earth should be," Jawo told our sister paper, the Miami New Times back in 2013. "I mean, the thing we are fighting for is equality, and we're going in the right direction, but there's still a long way to go." While there's definitely "a long way to go," the Swedish electropop powerhouse duo and HITS 97.3 is practicing equality for all with a free show at Revolution Live this week. All you gotta do is download the HITS 97.3 app and click on the “HITS Sessions” button for your chance to see these ladies live in action.
Wednesday, September 23, 7 p.m. Presented by HITS 97.3 HITS Sessions. Revolution Live, 100 SW 3rd Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954-449-1025; jointherevolution.net. Win tickets by downloading the HITS 97.3 app and clicking on the “HITS Sessions” button. Ages 18 and up.
EO1: "End of the World" Party

Presented by Eclectic Overdrive. Friday, September 25, 5 p.m. Jump the Shark, 810 NE 4th Ave., Fort Lauderdale; facebook.com/jumpthesharkevents. Admission costs $5. All ages.
Lecrae
Lecrae may be a Christian, but, as the rapper told New Times in a recent interview, he is not totally keen on being labeled as "the Christian rapper." "I think Christian is a wonderful noun, but a terrible adjective," he explains. "Are there Christian shoes, Christian clothes, Christian plumbers, Christian pipes? I think, if you're going to, you should label it hip-hop. Hip-hop is a particular poetic style. Labeling it with the faith assumes that the song is going to be some kind of sermon; but there's a lot of social and political things that I don't think make it gospel, or Christian music."
