At some point, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band had to fully integrate real live, juicy derriere into their act. The Asheville, North Carolina, nu-funk group did so, and amply, in its video for “Trunk Fallin’ Off,” premiering right here on County Grind before the group’s show tonight at Tobacco…
The rumors of Green Room closing have been flying around for months now. News of a mysterious new Fort Lauderdale spot called Stache have been surfacing for almost as long. But no one knew what was really up until recently. We spoke with the owner of Green Room, and the…
In 2010, Glenn Danzig bought a box of Fresh Step kitty litter and someone caught it on camera. Subsequently, and rightfully, the internet exploded. If it’d been George Michael carrying a box of kitty litter and, just for fun, let’s throw in some tampons, five bloggers would have commented, but…
If you were wondering where your nearly middle aged, bald friend or brother or husband was last night, they were at the Depeche Mode concert at BB&T Center. That’s right. The hockey arena was a hotspot for smooth-headed, black T-shirt wearing, mostly straight guys. They gathered there to emote and…
For a little over a year, Mike Linder filled Green Room with dark dance tunes and a crowd that loves the nighttime with Black Fridays. The weekly Fort Lauderdale party featured everything from suspension piercing and girls using power tools on their crotches, to folks dressed up like dead celebs…
For those who get all tingly over smashed guts and bloody faces on the big screen, this Saturday brings with it a delightful surprise. Splatter-Rama returns to Cinema Paradiso with the goriest, most vile double feature around. This month features two ghoulish “night” films: Night of the Demons and Night…
We’d say Ariana Grande was the next Demi Lovado, but she doesn’t seem the tortured type. We could lump her in with Miley Cyrus, but her papa isn’t a star, and we can’t see her twerking in coochie-cutters. Then again, she’s only 20, so there’s plenty of time for hormones…
Up here in BroCo and PBC, we have plenty of festivals to keep us occupied. Miami, well, that’s another story. Festivals seem much rarer down there than the standalone blowout concert. That’s why the announcement of the three-day III Points music and arts fest in Wynwood is particularly notable South…
You know intimately what a cassette is. You remember the delicate surgery of unraveling the magnetic tape from your brown, boxy, Fisher Price player. You can taste those tears you shed when the procedure didn’t go so well. There were many failed attempts to salvage the mix you recorded off…
We all remember those unforgivably awful words uttered by John Mayer, the ones that made tasteful folks around the planet cringe: “I wanna run through the halls of my high school; I wanna scream at the top of my lungs!” Oh, and then there were those other horrifying words printed…
The rumors of Green Room closing have been flying around for months now. News of a mysterious new Fort Lauderdale spot Stache have been surfacing for almost as long. But no one knew what was really up until very recently. We spoke with owner of Green Room, and the whole…
If you were on the rag or expecting to be last July 12, and you were bold enough to bring tampons or pads along with you to the Texas capitol that day, you got quite a surprise. The state Senate was voting, and Gov. Rick Perry signing off on some…
Holopaw is named after a Central Florida town not very far from the Gainesville band’s main stomping ground. Wikipedia claims the name “derives from Indian term for ‘place where something is hauled’,” But if the Seminole word for haul is “hol” or something, we’ll eat a shoe. Either way, there’s…

You know what’s better than chicken soup or fresh squeezed orange juice when you’re horizontal and coughing in a puddle of your own mucus? Someone passing along the second webisode of RuPaul Drives — a new web series hosted by the fabulous queen of queens. The most current installment features…
It’s almost noon. So by now, you’ve at least seen a clip of Miley Cyrus’ 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance. And you’re still cringing. We can actually feel the heat the whole world is generating in the collective horrified blush that this set into motion, right here from our…
Diana Ross has been inspiring gay men to strap wide curly wigs on their skulls and belt out “Upside Down” for generations. If there’s one diva that had shaped the look and sound of drag, it’s gotta be her. RuPaul, the queen of drag herself, called Ross out as his…
Backstreet’s back! What do we have to say to that? Alright! The Orlando quintet are no longer technically a boy band, but that doesn’t mean that they’ve lost their sense of youthful exuberance. (Spoiler alert!!!) Nick, Kevin, Brian, AJ, and Howie’s appearance in the final scene of This Is the…
Miami bard Aaron Lebos is an actual professional musician, not just a guy who plays guitar. “I work every night with different groups,” Lebos told us after performing at the recent New Times’ Iron Fork festival. His main gig right now, though, is his own: Aaron Lebos Reality. But he…
Everybody’s all like “Blurred Lines” this, and “Blurred Lines” that, and yeah the song is one of the most danceable R&B tunes to hit the radio since JT’s “Sexy Back.” But the hottest thing about Alan Thicke’s son’s semi-masterpiece is the video, not the song or the lyrics. We at…
We here at County Grind don’t regularly post pictures of people’s bums. Well, no, we do. But usually, it’s only the bottom cheeks of Rihanna taken off her Instagram or someone at Ultra Music Festival or the Gathering of the Juggalos proudly displaying their buttocks for our photogs. But since…
