Kreamy 'Lectric Santa's show this Saturday will be a mini reunion of some South Florida classics. Old friends Dooms De Pop, Mr. Entertainment and the Pookiesmackers, and the hilariously named D.J.

The soulful A New Way to Live Forever, the No.13s, and West Palm's pop punk act the Romantix will be rocking out at Inkwell Pub. Hosted by Spano's Big Radio Show, it's a free night out for your date, friends, or your annoying cousin who's in town. You won't even be able to hear him over the loud music.
3. Ethan Parker Band at Dada

11 p.m. Friday, April 10, at Dada, 52 N. Swinton Ave., Delray Beach. No cover. Visit Facebook.

Nothing cures the mental strain traffic and work can cause like some good ol' folk tunes, and Joel Zoss will be providing the medicine today at Stache. If that music isn't your cup of whiskey, or uh, tea, DJ Misha will be spinning a varied range of tunes from all the best decades. Start your weekend off the Stache way.
