Everymen Unleashes Debut Album Friday at Propaganda

Fire-breathing folk-punk act Everymen is geared up for the highly anticipated onslaught of record-release parties this Friday at Lake Worth’s Propaganda.

Exposé at Seminole Coconut Creek Casino, August 13

The perfect music of late summer could be freestyle, AKA the Latin-tinged, electro-derived music indigenous to South Florida and New York in the ’80s. With its tinkly synths and often slightly helium-pitched vocals, the genre captures the breezy late-afternoon August sun. But freestyle often boasted a kind of bittersweet undercurrent,…

Greeley Estates at Propaganda, August 16

This show marks a sort of watershed booking for Propaganda. The club’s original manifesto, as posted on its website, stated an aversion to screamo and punk and required everyone through the door to be of legal drinking age. That has apparently changed — because this multiband extravaganza will feature hours…

The Black Dahlia Murder at Revolution, August 17

Wednesday’s epic stop of the “Summer Slaughter Tour” is likely the ultimate show of the year for area deathcore fans — those who are underaged or underemployed, anyhow, as the show kicks off at 2 in the afternoon. Still, that early door time is a must, as the lineup packs…

The Rapture’s U.S. Tour Dates Include South Florida

Perhaps some elephant brains out there remember a band called the Rapture from the first half of the past decade. Unless you’re Metallica or something, a five-year gap in recorded output is a heckuva wait. Now, with a new headlining U.S. tour, the guys are ready to reintroduce themselves. The…

Five Supergroups Before Keith Morris’ Off!

​Get ready, Fort Lauderdale: Off! is coming to town. In the years since the advent of Fucked Up, nothing has tickled the indie-rock blogosphere’s punky bone quite like this hardcore supergroup.

Weird Al Yankovic’s Coming Back to Basic Cable!

​The king of novelty music, Weird Al Yankovic has had a fruitful and lucrative career, yet very few will claim him as their favorite artist. His parody work is amazingly perfect. In many cases, it’s his spoof of the original that launches the song he’s ripping on to classic status…

Live: Brian Wilson at Hard Rock Live, August 5

Brian Wilson Hard Rock Live, Hollywood August 5, 2011 What becomes a legend most? In the case of Brian Wilson’s performance Friday night at Hard Rock Live, it’s somewhat hard to say. Cynics might deride the fact that at age 69, Brian still portends to be a battered soul. Sitting at…

Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Watch the Throne Tour” Expands to Florida

The White Panda at Green Room, August 4

With Girl Talk and even acts like Super Mash Bros. now playing to festival crowds of thousands, mashup artists have firmly been accepted as artists in their own right. And among the next big sound-collage artists is Southern California duo the White Panda. In one of those very-’00s stories, group…

Hot Tuna at Revolution, August 5

Hot Tuna is one of those amazing legendary acts whose list of past members now dwarfs its list of current members by more than fourfold. Of course, that’s not surprising — the act that originally began as a Jefferson Airplane spinoff has now been going on and off for more…

The Darling Sweets at Monterey Club, August 6

It’s no secret that Lake Worth’s red-hot scene seems to birth a new band of Americana-roots-whatever-loving types almost every week. That’s awesome — the underground music world can never have enough tattooed, bearded manly men — but females have been pretty scant on the circuit’s stages. Until now! Enter the…

Band of Horses Taking Requests for Tonight’s Show at Revolution

It’s exciting enough that Band of Horses have decided to pack a Cruzan Amphitheatre-sized show into Revolution this evening after the Kings of Leon totally bummed everyone out. But Benjamin Bridwell and the guys put out a promise of “a special treat” for the attendees, as well.This additional enticement turns…

Odd Future’s Golf Wang Tour Tickets and Swag Packages on Sale

Odd Future’s lead rapper, Tyler the Creator, is not a big fan of Bruno Mars, authority figures, and, perhaps most of all, ticket scalpers. Thus, today’s ticket presale for the 2011 Golf Wang Tour, which includes a stop at Fillmore Miami on Halloween, is laden with some extra merch that…

Sixthman Summer Road Trip Hits Miami Tonight

I’ve been fortunate to take a Cayamo Cruise three times over the past few years (here’s my wrap from this past year). Their excursions feature some of the best singer/songwriters and Americana artists on the scene today, even though genres aren’t so strictly defined as to exclude other acts that…
