John Ralston and his music are true poetry. His words are what holds the music and makes you go, “I never thought of that.” “White Spiders,” sounds like a more subdued version of the Shins. His voice sounds like it belongs in the ’60s or ’70s, but he has managed…
You can’t always get what you want, unless you happen to want to hear a live rendition of one of the finest Rolling Stones album set to wax this weekend at the Coral Springs Center for the Arts.Take advantage of today’s deal to see Classic Albums Live present the Rolling…
A lot has happened in the six years that Floridas Dying has been around: the Huygens probe landed on Saturn’s moon, Titan, the Stardust spacecraft returned to Earth and, in that same geographically-disconnected vein, the world above this isolated state starting paying more attention to its musical stirrings. This could…
Before the advent of DVR, watching the Grammys telecast was a slog. Aside from the fact that the awards show forces you to sit through canny speeches by industry sellouts like Vampire Weekend and the Black Keys, the glut of performers stretches the show into a four-hour affair. Sure, there…
People might give Wilton Manors all the credit as the center of gay cheer and merrymaking in South Florida, but years ago, Lake Worth was voted the most gay-friendly city of its size. And before Lake Worth’s Propaganda became a hotbed of indie rock and hipsterlicious schmoozing, it was one…
With a critically acclaimed debut record under their belt and a highly anticipated followup in the works, instant cred for memorable live shows that are as much tent revival as rock show, and multiple unlikely singles featured in national ad campaigns, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (who we saw…
The ukulele’s appeal in non-Hawaiian music is limited by its unimposing size and a small range of notes, and guitar is just a cooler word. Regardless, Jake Shimabukuro has dedicated his skills to the miniature instrument. A YouTube upload of his take on the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”…
For those unfamiliar, Of Montreal is like P-Funk for sensitive kids. Kevin Barnes and his band blend personal lyrics with booty-shakin’ beats and psychedelic theatrics. It’s as sexual as the funk from the Mothership but perhaps a bit more stimulating above the waist as well. A product of the Elephant…
Legendary for incorporating the surf sound into California hardcore, Agent Orange has been at it for 31 years, and while it lives on the fury of a handful of releases, the live shows are usually excellent, ear-destroying affairs. In August 2009, the band played this same stage with scene stalwarts…
Getting to see Miami’s synth-fused indie duo Awesome New Republic — or ANR, of late — in Palm Beach County is enough of a delicacy in itself. Supplement that with the draw of a brand-new Discosoma Records seven-inch platter for “Big Problem”/”Dead Gulf” debuting that night, and the evening should…
Over the past 16 years, Arizona punk act Authority Zero has survived numerous lineup changes, demanding tours, emo madness, and an evolving music industry. That’s why it’s no surprise that its latest full-length endeavor is appropriately dubbed Stories of Survival. Also not surprising is the band’s riot-inducing live performances that…
Lost in the Trees is a seven-strong collective from North Carolina likely to nourish the mossy side of your trunk with its sumptuous, string-filled folk that occasionally borders on symphonic. Recently reissued on the discerning Anti- label, the group’s All Alone in an Empty House finds a wider audience for…

Yes, the fab Kylie Minogue is taking North American arenas by storm later this year. Supporting her dynamic Aphrodite, which has yielded several dance anthems suggesting that she’s not prepared to roll over for Robyn and La Roux just yet, Minogue has assembled a string of dates between April 28…
Music vet and New Times scribe Lee Zimmerman shares stories of memorable rock ‘n’ roll encounters that took place in our local environs. This week: Florida foibles… My wife, Alisa, and I recently did our annual road trip up to Eastern Tennessee, and because we chose to travel via I-95, past…
Rhythm Devils With Donna the Buffalo Sunday, January 9, 2011 Revolution, Fort Lauderdale Rather than blowing the roof off of Revolution and drumming with primal, psychedelic fury out toward the dark corners of outer space on Sunday night, Mickey Hart and Bill Kruetzmann stuck to playing tunes, giving those who…
Cake dominated the airwaves in the early part of this decade, churning out hits that became instant classics. The band’s funky, clean sound (self-described as “dinky”) provided the perfect backdrop to frontman John McCrea’s cool-guy speak-sing delivery of endlessly clever, often perplexing lyrics, and then there’s that iconic trumpet. Showroom…
Lady Gaga has made eye contact an acceptable means for social networking. On Thursday, Gaga helped introduce her collaboration with Polaroid, the Grey Label line, at International CES 2011. In addition to a 21st century version of the classic Polaroid instant camera and a wireless printer for mobile phones, Gaga…
The Back PocketsWith Weird Wives, the Dewars, and the Band in HeavenPropaganda, Lake WorthWednesday, January 5, 2010Countless locals who couldn’t wait until the weekend to play in oncoming traffic were in attendance for a befuddling Wednesday night at Propaganda. Not to say that any of this was unexpected…
The Grateful Dead effectively ended with Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995, but a handful of projects carry on the celebrated jam band’s je ne sais quoi. One such act is the Rhythm Devils, run by drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann. Decades ago, the duo used portions of Dead concerts…
More than a decade before Weezer’s “Blue Album” toasted undone sweaters, surfboards, and Happy Days, the Adolescents’ highly influential debut was well-known for its cerulean cover. Springing up from the ashes of Agent Orange and Social Distortion during the affectionately turbulent days of the Southern California hardcore scene in the…
