Revolution LiveMarch 10, 2012​Better than: Any old happy hour. “Spoken word” isn’t exactly the right way to describe what Henry Rollins provided to a crowd of seated patrons on Friday night at Revolution Live. Though he calls it spoken word, it’s more like “storytime with Mr. Rollins.” Ever the sex symbol for…

Wilson Phillips understands a woman’s suffering and joys. It’s almost as if they were three women living complex emotional lives, two of which are sisters, all of whom come from musical royalty. Wait. What? How could you not love these three broads? They’re back with a new album out on…

The moment South Florida has been waiting for has arrived. SunFest announced its 2012 lineup, and it’s not too shabby. Though Counting Crows is the first name listed, we’re pretty sure they’re not the headliner.

For the first part of the interview, click here. One thing that sets Lady Saw and other female icons’ experience apart from the common woman is that their lives are also full of attention and praise. Every day, she says, women approach her, thank her, and tell her how she’s…

​You may not have heard of The Hongs yet, but they’ve been bringing what they call disco rock to the scene for a hot minute. Bassist Gordon Myers recently moved back to Miami from New York, tired of the winters, bringing with him this unique style of dance music. “We’re trying…

​Lady Saw is known as the “Queen of Dancehall,” a trailblazer for other female artists who want to express female sexuality in song. Marion Hall, as she is also known, is a mother, a nurturer, and a healer. Her honesty about the female experience may shock some, but it empowers…

​Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood was brimming with local music fans last night for the first installment of three Hard Rock Rising battle of the band preliminaries. The winner of each will compete with each other for the chance to perform at London’s Hard Rock Calling music festival in Hyde…

Russian Tsarlag, AKA Carlos Gonzalez, describes the music he makes as “necessary and pathetic.” Since self-deprecation will likely get you everywhere in life (just ask Conan O’Brien), Russian Tsarlag is clearly on his way somewhere.
