These four shows in the Broward-Palm Beach area slated for Friday evening appeal to four drastically different demographics, and none would be characterized as casual.

often credited with helping create so-called “thugcore,” a subgenre full
of relentless breakdowns and throwdown-ready posturing.”
Skarhead, with Fortitude, the Shakers, and others. 8 p.m. Friday, May 7,
Ballers Rock Bar, 3200 W. Hallandale Beach Blvd., Pembroke Pines.
