• New Brew: Beer Events and the Fresh Beer Times

  I was just reading the latest installment of the Fresh Beer Times newsletter, put out bi-monthly by Fort Lauderdale's own distributor of fine, hopped products Fresh Beer, Inc, and I have to say that it kicks ass. It comes out on the second and fourth Fridays of each month, and covers everything from beer-related events to new selections to a complete run down all the latest arrivals at bars, restaurants, and supermarkets around Broward and Palm Beach counties. Definitely worth signing up for; wh

• Throwback Tuesdays: Bonnie "Prince" Billy - "West Palm Beach"

  Plenty of songs have extolled the watery, nubile virtues of Miami, or even of Florida in general. But few -- beyond those by hyper-local artists based here -- have name-checked other specific locales in South Florida's tri-county area. Which is why "West Palm Beach," written by the folkie Bonnie "Prince" Billy under his on-and-off Palace Brothers moniker, is so surprising. Billy (born Will Oldham) is from Louisville, Kentucky, and his bittersweet, country-flavored paean to the city starts off pr

• Buzz Bake Sale Ticket Giveaway

  This Saturday, December 6th, the always popular Buzz Bake Sale is taking place at the Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach. There's a ton of good bands on the show as usual and between the Celtic punk of Flogging Molly, the harder metal sounds of Atreyu, and the rebellious hip-hop of the Flobots, there's going to be something for everyone who attends.If you listen to Buzz 103 and like hard rock with an edge, then this is definitely a concert you'll want to check out.

• Mötley Crüe Returns to South Florida on Mar. 3

  If it seems like Mötley Crüe was just here, well, it's because they were, in July, headlining their Crüefest tour at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. They're coming baaaaa-aaaaack, though, as part of their Saints of Los Angeles Tour, and diehard fans will be happy it's a relatively intimate theater show -- at the Seminole Hard Rock Live. Perhaps Tommy Lee will have to readjust the lighting settings of the "Titty Cam" he unveiled in West Palm. According to various ticket sale listi

  Bessie had one too many pea-shoot gimletsIf the prices of local slow food events has been a bit rich for you, or you haven't quite had your fill of wacky holiday cocktails yet, hie yourself over to Forte di Asprinio in West Palm Beach this Sunday for "The Farmer and the Mixologist," an event that promises to put the pea shoots back in your gimlet, where they belong. $25 buys you cocktails and canapes and includes a donation to the Glades to Coast convivium.  Along with pea-shoot gimlets and a b

• Combichrist/Black Light Burns Tour Kickoff Moved to Respectable Street Cafe

  Crossfade reported earlier this month that Combichrist and Black Light Burns would kick off their tour in South Florida on January 14, at Club Premier in Ft. Lauderdale. That sounded like a weird fit, as the venue usually specializes in hip-hop and reggae dance parties. The event has been moved to a more fishnet-friendly (and smaller) venue, Respectable Street Cafe, at 518 Clematis St. in West Palm Beach.The show will still take place on Wednesday, January 14.

• State Lawmakers Pull an All-Nighter at the BCS

  Things were really weird yesterday (Did you miss me? No? Oh,thanks.), and I ended up briefly at the Opa-locka Executive Airport before heading up to West Palm Beach, only to turn around and drive back to Miami. Anyway, the runway was busy with lots of bigwigs flying in for the BCS game. Bigwigs such as a pack of Republican state lawmakers from the Orlando area who flew in on a charter jet owned by a lobbyist. They supposedly paid their own way, though, but they didn't get back to Tallahassee u

• Propagandhi To Play South Florida For the First Time on Mar. 6

  Propaghandi is coming to South Florida in March. Fans of the long-running thrashy punk band from Canada may or may not be psyched to see them at the Culture Room, but you can be sure that they will go.  For starters, the band has never played down here, ever. A show scheduled some eight years ago at the now-defunct Spanky's, on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, was flooded out. In 2002, the band cancelled its scheduled show (with J Church) the day it was set to happen. Second, they rule.

It's a grittier step away from the more pop-punk projects that three of the four members usually pump out under the guise of the Ridicules. And yes, that cover art is by local girl made good, Cristy Road.Most of the songs are available for free streaming on the Clockouts' MySpace page, or you can check them out at the six million shows the band is playing
