Belaxis Buil has been quiet for some time now musically, but this provocative artist retains a musicality to her work. A dancer, performer, choreographer, photographer, and stylist, Buil last graced our ears with 2010’s Get It While It’s Hott. Brash is Beethoven. Belaxis is Buil., an experimental take on electronica…

Kids who’ve lived in Tallahassee know that town has some awesome house parties, so it makes sense Tallahassee boy and multiplatinum artist T-Pain would theme his latest tour around that house-party vibe.

Though Nick Dewey (James Brown’s Sweat) and Jasper Delaini (DJ Sensitive Side) are the fathers of the irregularly thrown but always memorable Mai Kai dance party, Radio-Active Records’ Mikey Ramirez has lent his vinyl stylings to the affair about a handful of times.

Last week, WLRN ran a positively ludicrous piece suggesting that fans of rock ‘n’ roll “might have to leave Miami” to enjoy a good bit of organically made sonic piss and vinegar. While we know all too well the area’s reputation through our own efforts to extol and defend South…
Punk was once underground. Bands played in grungy, rat-infested clubs, and forget hearing the music on the radio. Twenty years ago, that all changed. The Offspring, Bad Religion, and Pennywise are three Southern California bands signed to the same Epitaph record label that helped bring this subversive sound to the…

Closing out a busy summer of live music before the kids go back to school, Cruzan presented another odd-on-paper pairing of bands and a packed house. At the halfway mark of their U.S. tour, Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails (NIN) delivered as many goods as they could in their time-limited…

Live music and beer, a pairing as American as baseball but way more fun in every conceivable way. Especially when that beer is of the craft and unlimited variety and the tunes are live and loud. A pilgrimage of beer freaks and people who like to party found their way…
I’m a 26-year-old white woman who grew up in a mostly-Jewish suburb in Broward County, but the only thing I listen to, day-in and day-out, is thuggish ruggish rap music at uncomfortably loud volumes. It’s not that I relate to songs about selling dope. I think crack is wack. I…
The faux-lighthouse entranceway to the retro-quirky building at Dixie and North 12th Street in Lake Worth has seen a Pulp Fiction jumble of pop culture history pass through its doors.

Linkin Park has been putting out rock-rap tunes for over a decade and recently returned with an album that promises a return to the heavier shit. The band is currently showcasing their new album The Hunting Party with 30 Seconds to Mars and openers AFI on the Carnivores tour. Before…
