305Fest is happening this week at the Firefly, maybe some stuff at Goo and maybe one other place which I can’t figure out yet. It seems like it costs 25 bucks for three days of at least 45 bands with a really incredible amount of variety in music from grind…
When the mainstream media and trendies of yore decided, in the late 1970s, that punk version 1.0 was over, the Vibrators never got the memo. Perhaps, in true spiky Brit fashion, they just ripped it up and spit on it. Either way, the London-based band boasts the unique distinction of…
Anybody been to Poprox yet? I keep hearing about it, so I’m gonna assume yes, though admittedly, I’ve yet to hit it up. I know, I know…bad music writer! Bad! I stand chastised. After all, the site itself explains quite frankly and without preamble, that Poprox is, in fact, “Miami’s…

Tomorrow night’s show continues Respectable Street’s recent trend of catering to the darker set. As such, headlining the bill tomorrow is the singularly pseudonymous Voltaire, flying down from his cave in New York as part of a brief national tour in support of his recent musical endeavors. Voltaire calls himself…
Haven’t taken a shower or had a job since 1969? Well you’re probably still at Greynolds Park hangin’ out and you don’t have the Internet to read this, but guess what? All the folks who grew up but wanna relive their youth are gonna come say wassup. Why? It’s almost…

He’s such a baby because the Dolphins make him cry, and he’s teaming up with Rascal Flatts in support of his recent (three years is recent right?) turn to country music. Darius Rucker, the lead singer of the on again off again Hootie & The Blowfish, decided to go solo…
