For most, the thought of Southern California in the ’80s just brings to mind a Less Than Zero-style existence full of cocaine and Ray-Bans. But the sun-baked swath of turf from L.A. south became, at the beginning of the decade, the cradle of searing underground punk. London’s punk had its…
If you missed them last week, here’s a little heads up fo’ yo’ ass (not a head up yo’ ass…like that guy in front of you on your way to work this morning on his cell phone, giving you an even worst case of Moooooondays than you had to begin…
With the high season in full swing, the events just keep rolling into South Florida. It was a busy weekend that even with a case of the post-Halloween doldrums that almost kept us at home, there was just too much to do and see. So here is what you missed…
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.

Night Watch is a regularly-occurring feature by nightlife columnist Tara Nieuwesteeg.Last weekend, it took a minute for me to muster up the courage to enter The Warehouse Pub (1599 NW 1st Court, Boca Raton; 561-392-3798). Sure, this was Boca, but still — the pub was located in a dark part…
Night Watch is a regularly-occurring nightlife column by Tara Nieuwesteeg.Boca is not renowned for much except its manicured shopping plazas, delicious lunch spots, and its armies of early-bird-special-seeking Q-tips who make the roads a little less safe and the frozen yogurt shops a little more busy. But Boca and I…
If there is one guarantee in life is that Ultra Music Festival’s lineup is always one of the best in the country. Need proof? Early-bird, two-day tickets to the festival, which sold for $99.95, are gone. What’s impressive is that it happened without a single act being announced for the…
In this age of laptop-toting faux live electronic dance music acts, an actual band employing actual live instrumentation and vocals is a rare thing, especially when said band is delivering funked-out dancefloor bangers like 2020Soundsystem. The musical brainchild of Leeds-based DJ and esteemed 2020Vision label owner Ralph Lawson, the Soundsystem…

Alright, if you’re not headed up to FLIFF tonight to catch Radioboxer at Cinema Paradiso, but you are in the mood for a little local rocking this weekend, there’s a simple solution. It involves floors covered in a perpetual sheen of freshly spilt beer, a haze of cigarette smoke so…
Tonight: The new jam capital of the world, Broward County, welcomes The Radiators to Culture Room. Peaches, who is probably the polar opposite of every jam band ever, is playing Revolution Live. Surf rockers Cutback are playing a rum fueled show at Mai Kai tonight, and reggae masterminds 4th Dimension…
We checked them out in the studio and then followed their adventures on their latest national tour… So Crossfade fully recommends Jacobs Ladder’s EP release party tonight at, of course, Churchill’s. Yes, this kicks off another tour, this time around the Southeast and a little bit up the East Coat,…
The Miami-based, 26-year-old Rico Love is quietly becoming one of the industry’s most sought-after R&B and pop arrangers and songwriters. Starting out in his early 20s as a rapper in Atlanta, he got his real boost when, as a performer, Usher signed him to his J Records imprint. And while…
Last time Santigold (a.k.a., Santi White, formerly Santogold) was in Miami, she played at Ultra Music Festival back in March. Unfortunately, she was relegated to an early slot on the first day of the festival, so she played to a sparse crowd. We missed her set all together because it…
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…
Is it just me or does it seem like there’s a whole lot going on this weekend? This time of year always gets a bit crazy, I suppose. Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) is just a couple weeks away. Holidays and holiday parties right around the corner after that. Art Basel…
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…
We loved the So Raw festival, and it’s heartening to know the cool people behind it have organized a couple shows since then. I’m happy to report this small trend is combining with that of the latest re-discovery of the American Legion Bar, in Legion Park on Biscayne and 64th…
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…
