Naughty By Nature, scheduled to perform at Revolution this past Saturday, had to postpone their show due to weather conditions in New York City.

Phish is in town for another New Year’s Eve. And with the jam giants come some truly epic parties that not even the most fervent Phish hater can deny are glorious. In addition to the makeshift shindigs that will inevitably pop up on the beach, the White Room will host three afterparties…
Palm Beach County band Surfer Blood plays the Vagabond
DJ Baby Anne started her career as the Queen of Bass in, where else, Orlando, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t made a gazillion appearances in South Florida over the last 17 years. A major draw for the underground electronica community, the foxy producer belongs to the break beat generation…
Brooklyn’s Telepathe has been creating a stir for a little over a year now. Made up of Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes, the duo’s synth-heavy, atmospheric pop is reminiscent of TV on the Radio, just really girly and not as full-sounding. (TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek produced Dance Mother,…
Chris Brown is not a nice guy. He’s not a good guy. And he doesn’t deserve a break, no matter what Kanye West, Terrrence Howard, or Akon say. Nor does he deserve anyone’s money Sunday when he performs at Revolution. Anyone remember how he beat the crap out of Rihanna…
The opening night for the Modernesque Burlesque troupe at Respectable Street Saturday was a glamorous sequin-filled celebration of movement and the female body. It was also “new, fresh, and unused,” in the words of the cheeky mistress of ceremonies Torchy Taboo, age “none of your fucking business.” Looking like a…
If you’re still reading, author/actress (Seriously. She’s on IMDB.) and Elvis’s cousin Edie Hand will be at Borders Saturday to sign copies of her latest novellas A Christmas Ride: The Miracle of Lights and The Soldier’s Ride. Although those don’t have anything to do with Elvis, she has paid homage to…
On its MySpace page Sunday, English punk band Gallows unfortunately announced it would be canceling the rest of its tour with AFI, explaining:”We’re sorry to announce that we have had to cancel our remaining dates on the AFI tour due to illness. We’re sorry to disappoint anyone who bought tickets…
AFI has been on an upward trajectory since its inception in 1991. Starting out as a hardcore punk band out of the Bay Area, building its cred at 924 Gilman Street, AFI has evolved from its earlier punk approach to now incorporating occasional dance music, metal-tinged raucous, and goth sensibilities…
That John Belushi “College” poster on your wall is not art. Neither is that stark black and white Scarface/Pulp Fiction poster. Or the Periodic Table of Mixology that hangs in your kitchen, no matter how convenient it’s proven from party to party. But we understand: Art isn’t cheap. That is,…
If you’re nostalgic for the punk of the ’90s, when it still had some muscle (despite the osteoporosis that was setting in), catch Margate punk band The Shakers, a group that formed in 1994 and whose blend of punk and hardcore would have been an appropriate addition during the Warped Tour’s early…
Hollywood band Mr. Entertainment and the Pookiesmackers have remained a recognizable presence on South Florida’s music scene for over a decade. They’ve released three records, and have a fourth on the way called ¡Socialismo Americano!, due out Thanksgiving week. For a peek into the upcoming release, Mr. Entertainment (a.k.a. Steve…
Boynton Beach’s raunch-punksters Kill Miss Pretty announced Sunday via Twitter that they are giving away their two albums, Permission for Strange and 2006 EP Bite Your Tongue, for free. The trio, which consists of vocalist Alicia, guitarist Russ, and bassist Martin, blend indie rock and electro for a sideshow that…
Late Generation X’ers and Gen Y blasted the notion that cartoons are only for kids. Maybe we didn’t want to grow up, or maybe we just didn’t want to trade creativity and imagination for the drudgery of every-day adulthood. Either way mature themes have been mainstream on animated series since MTV’s…
The Lilith Fair has officially announced 18 dates for 2010, none of which include South Florida. But for the last three years, we’ve had our own all-women’s music fest. FemmeFest has hosted xx-staples like Zombies! Organize!!, Astari Nite, and The State Of in the past. This year the two-day fest…
Although Jewel became commercially successful at the age of 19 after releasing her thoughtful, melodic, and grrrly brand of Americana folk Pieces of You in 1997, she had already attained a lifetime of experience to draw from. Since her days hobo-ing around (she carried a knife and would totally cut…
The season for spooking is here, and to help awaken your inner ghoul who’s been lying dormant, here is a list of ten songs to celebrate the holiday. Some are obvious, some have loose, vague, or quirky affiliations with Halloween themes (you’ll be hard-pressed to find some of these on…
Watch out Zombie Strippers, Murderous Rampage has just released a video for their song “Programmed to Kill.” And the topless zombie chicks are way more brutal than Jenna Jameson (no matter how much Nietzsche she reads). They don’t strip, they just want to kill you. Or maybe just kill their…
Halloween won’t fall on a weekend again until 2014, and it won’t fall on a Saturday again until 2015. So Palm Beach residents will have no excuse Saturday. No “next year,” no “I’m too tired after working all week.” This is a call for them to take to the streets…
This Halloween, indie space the Bubble (810 NE Fourth Avenue, Fort Lauderdale) will again be Broward’s hub for local art and rawkin’ local bands. Some of the bands/acts include: Sweet Bronco: Largely the solo project of Chris Horgan, Sweet Bronco delivers the kind of lyric-centric, expressive folk reminiscent of early…
