A couple recent concert announcements bring a little something for people on both your naughty and nice lists this Christmas. If you or someone you know happens to be on the nice list, consider celebrating Christmas (or at least the ghost of Christmas) a couple weeks early with local stars…

Looking for things to do this holiday season? Here are a couple shows that can get you away from your family for at least a few hours. On December 26, after you’ve probably spent about 48 hours too long with people you’d rather never see again, get some of that…

Hey look! It’s a concert announcement that has nothing to do with jam bands, ’80s hair metal, or sugary pop-punk acts! Don’t worry, they’ll be back next week. For today, let’s focus on Brandi Carlile’s announcement that she’ll be coming to Culture Room on February 20. The folk-pop star released…

A couple of shows chalk full of pop-punk are coming to Culture Room. First up is the West Palm Beach-based Hey Monday, who are on the verge of being pop-punk’s next big thing. Sure pop-punk bands are a dime-a-trillion, but this local act has a beautiful female lead singer (in…

Ladies and Gentlemen, if you’re going to head out to a single concert in 2010, this is it. Bon Jovi is bringing his perfect hair, golden pipes, and a plethora of iconic riffs to BankAtlantic Center on April 18. Bon Jovi released The Circle, his 10th studio album, last week…

A couple strangely grouped show announcements today. First, the jam train continues to roll through Broward with The Subdudes scheduled to play Culture Room on January 30. The NOLA based bluesy funk rockers have been together for 22 years (with the occasional hiatus for side projects) and have put out…

Alterna-rock band State Radio is on tour and has just announced a February 10 date at Culture Room. The Boston based band released their third album, Let it Go, at the end of September and continued their progression toward heavy guitar driven music and strong political views. The coolest thing…

It’s been a rough couple weeks for show cancellations, so we’ll file this one under good news. Rather than canceling a show, punk rock and rollers AFI has just announced a venue change. The show will no longer be at the Pompano Beach Amphitheater, now it’s going down at Revolution Live…

More jam news for you to go with today’s Phish announcement. You know that Galactic show scheduled at Revolution on January 9? Well it just got a whole lot better with JJ Grey and Mofro being added to the set. The Florida based swamp-rock studs will open the show, leaving…

Like hip-hop and country music? You’re in luck with today’s concert announcements then. The New Boyz, creators of what might be the most annoying chorus in the history of music “You’re a Jerk” have been tapped to open for Chris Brown. The show takes place on November 29 at Revolution…

103.1, The Buzz has announced the lineup of their 14th annual Buzz Bake Sale 2009, which is slated to take place at Cruzan Amphitheater on December 5. This twelve hour music festival is taking place over three stages starting at 10 am. Tickets, which run $20 for lawn tickets and…

Plenty to check out in Broward and Palm Beach this weekend, and no matter who you are, you’ll find something that will scare you. David Allan Coe, for instance, is playing tonight at Culture Room. He’s been known to scare more than a few people in his day. KMFDM are…

Punk rock has always been more about the attitude than the music. Unfortunately, that “punk rock attitude” is often portrayed as a hate-everything, outsider-only, anti-social group. While some of those things may be true from time to time, things like this can also really show off what punk rock is…

You might have heard of U2 before. They’re this little band from across the pond who’ve redefined what stadium shows can be. Even playing in front of tens of thousands of people, U2s shows feel intimate and epic. The biggest problem with trying to see U2 live has always been…
