Here at the Grind, we’re never short of excuses when it comes to sharing music with our fine readers, and today’s video playlist is thematically in tune with the goodwill of Valentine’s Day and charged with the punk rock energy you’ll want for when the date’s over and the lights…
It’s looking like another rambunctious Saturday night on the wrong side of the tracks in Lake Worth, as L.A. transplant Jacques de Beaufort’s Unit 1 gallery/performance space again brings new art and new music to the seaside city’s Little Mexico district. “Women, Money, Fiction” will be Colombian artist Juan Doncel’s…
Happy Blowfly Day. 75 years ago, in the backwoods of Vienna, Georgia, Clarence Henry Reid was born at the farm where his family sharecropped. The odds that scrawny, cantankerous, foul-mouthed “Junior” would escape those humble beginnings were staggering. The music world can thank his mother, Annie, for moving to Florida…
What does a song six months in the making sound like? Tonight at Respectable Street you can find out as Miami’s electro-pop duo EONS will premiere their new single “Stay.” The tune will be available on Soundcloud on February 14, which is fitting as its danceable beats are suitable to…
A wandering troubadour and rabble rouser in the tradition of folk music icons like Woody Guthrie and Cisco Houston, Anne Feeney plays Boca Raton and Miami this weekend, wrapping up the South Florida leg of her never-ending tour, 2014 edition.

In Churchill’s Pub, Dave Daniels established and maintained a safe space for musical and artistic expression, the watching of international soccer games, and drinking heavily in the heart of Little Haiti for 35 years. But, at 74, Daniels tells us: “It’s time for me to move on.” An undisclosed investor…
There’s no better time to profess or reconfirm your love with an obese teddy bear and a cardboard box of sickly sweet chocolates than on Valentine’s Day. Oddly enough, February 14 is also known as Singles Awareness Day, when many of the unloved find themselves wearing their exes’ sweaters, sobbing…
South Florida loves its heavy metal. While the area may no longer spit out talented metal bands with the same tenacity it once did, there was a time when South Florida’s extreme heat and humidity provided an ideal environment for the incubation of top-notch heavies in a way rivaled only…
The first time Phillip Crandall saw Andrew W.K. live, he was just out of college but still living in Gainesville. Crandall described the experience in his new 33 1/3 book on W.K.’s I Get Wet: “Afterwards, I couldn’t remember a single between-song sentiment Andrew shared with us, only the added…
It ought to come as no real surprise that certain outfits are embracing the cover band concept and reaping rewards as a result. Consequently, there’s a veritable cottage industry that flourishes via tributes to the Beatles (natch), Pink Floyd, the Eagles, Led Zeppelin (led by the son of drummer John…
It seems though every other movie being released this summer is based on a Marvel comic book. With new editions of Captain America, Spider-man, X-men and the cinematic debut of the Guardians of the Galaxy hitting the screen, Hollywood and the Marvel Universe continue their intimate tango.

A couple of weeks ago, we chronicled the top pickup spots in Palm Beach County, locales where singles feeling frisky, risky, and perhaps a wee bit kinky can freely frolic. We highlighted some obvious choices — like Blue Martini (because, c’mon, it’s universal knowledge this higher-end martini bar is a…
To so many, Shirley Temple is merely the name of a sirupy cocktail chugged by children who want to feel like a drunk adult. But the real Shirley Temple was a woman who started out life as the most charming child star possibly of all time who later became a…
There’s no better time to profess or reconfirm your love with an obese teddy bear and a cardboard box of sickly sweet chocolates than on Valentine’s Day.

There’s “big news” and then there’s BIG NEWS! When you hear Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are coming to your town, it’s the latter. And yes, South Florida, we’ve got the Boss coming our way, not once, but twice, this Spring. Praise be! See also: Thoughts on Hero…
Saturday night, Reverend Mother Flash pissed into a cup, drank it, and spit it at the crowd amid the total sonic and physical chaos of Cock ESP’s closing set at the 2014 International Noise Conference. A fan flew and firecrackers popped. It was the perfect ending to a full week…
“Hello! Who could this be?” The voice — THAT voice — at the other end of the line sounds remarkably reassuring, especially considering the fact that it belongs to one of the greatest singers and most revered musical icons of the past fifty years. “It’s Lee,” I respond. “And who…
On Miami New Times’ 100 Creatives list, we called artist/choreographer/dancer/sage Ana Mendez “a one-woman pyrotechnic show.” That’s still true, though it’s more accurate these days to compare her to less hazardous elements. She’s dynamic and explosive, but also connected to her surroundings in a way that’s much more inclusive –…
Every once in awhile, we here at Miami New Times and New Times Broward Palm Beach start looking around for some fresh meat (fresh as in sassy and new; meat as in freelance writers). That time has come again!…
This Saturday night, locals’ll get a rare opportunity to witness Hollywood’s own trebled-out surf rockers Beach Day in their own element.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, people’s standards tend to drop. All of a sudden that person you’ve desired for eons but has found you repugnant is now open to going out with you. Whether it’s out of a fear of not being alone in the middle of February or out…
Alright, so the Super Bowl ended last week and Valentine’s Day is next Friday. Whether you’re single or taken, you’ll spend a considerable amount of cash for the infamous pink and red holiday, whether it’s to buy liquor to drown your sorrows or splurge on your significant other. To save…
