Gritty melodic West Palm Beach trio the KillBillies create an incredible blend of folk jams with a punk attitude. It’s as if Mumford and Sons and the Clash-lite had a baby. And then say that baby was drinking at an Irish pub enjoying a jaunty country tune. Well, that baby…

Each tattoo, even the grody tramp stamp of a Mexican worm that appears in Bridesmaids, has its own story. And, since the tattoo taboo has melted away, it seems everyone, even the most powerful celebrities, sports stars, and musicians have at least one. One day, we’d love to ask Lil…

George Clinton, born July 22, 1941, is many things: a singer, songwriter, producer and musical visionary. The one thing he’s not is predictable. At 71, he’s as outrageous as ever, a vision of pure theatrical eccentricity, garbed in outlandish costumes, multicolored dreadlocks, oversized sunglasses, and the occasional elaborate headdress.
