freezing your bollocks off since 2009

Jesus christ. Isn't this the tropics? I am not built for Florida's temperature extremes. No matter; a little nip off the flask and a headbutt and all is OK.

update added Friday show: Elvis Tribute!

So i've missed a couple shows recently. It's getting harder to justify updating this blag, since I have 0 feedback and my analytics show very poor readership. I have written a couple web pages to help me post flyers quicker but i'm not done with the Google Calendar aspect of it yet. Once I get around to that I may also incorporate Twitter and a user-contributed function, so people can just post shows themselves. It would be nice to know somebody would use it, however...

So. I don't know any of these bands at The Talent Farm. Let's just assume they kick ass?

Tuesday, January 5 2010
The Talent Farm (20911 Johnson St #110-111, Pembroke Pines, FL 33029) - Transit - Make Do And Mend, Go Rydell, Cool To Be You, Blank Tape, Featherweight
6:00pm, $10, all ages


Thursday comes on strong with a series of strange bands at Solid Sound Studios. Remember, kids: no moshing, no drinking, and no wild behavior. This is Punk Rock. Serious Business.

Thursday, January 7 2010
Solid Sound Studios (4616 N. Powerline Rd, Pompano Beach, FL) - To Be Hated, Break On Through, The Dead Legs, Routine Scheme, Ceasefire, Dead Bang
7:00pm, $10, all ages


J & P is always a nice watering hole and easy place to sit back and listen to hardcore punk (huh?). Come check it out if you're in WPB, it's free!

J & P Sports Bar (1023 N Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL) - Belt Buckle Death Sentence, Asspiss, Rad Company
8:00pm, free, 18+


A kegger *and* a fundraiser? GdeN knows how to organize the masses.

Friday, January 8 2010
GdeN House (1021 SW 5th St, Miami, FL) - Eztorbo Social, Baker Acted
8:00pm, $5, ?


I've never been to Harvey's By The Bay, but this lineup is full of bands I don't see often in Miami (aside from the obvious). Probably worth checking out.

Harvey's By The Bay (6445 Northeast 7th Avenue, Miami, FL) - To Be Hated, Andrew Sansac's Band, Dead Dead Bird, Space Between Words, White Widow
10:00pm, ?, ?


update Also on Friday is a little punk, little rockabilly, all-out fun Elvis tribute show. From a punk cover band and hellbilly group i've never seen to a newish surf-metal band, sounds like an interesting night. If you've never had a fried banana and peanut butter sandwich I highly recommend you go (or head on down to Memphis and try one!).

Churchill's Pub (5501 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL) - The Gutter Queens, Gringo Starr, Rockit To Russia, Celine And The Hellbillies, The Gutter Queens
9:00pm, $5, 18+


Radio-Active is still making good on supporting local musicians by holding these great free all-ages concerts. This one's later than the usual Sunday fare, starting at 7:00pm.

Saturday, January 9 2010
Radio-Active Records (1930B E. Sunrise Blvd, Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - Belt Buckle Death Sentence, Guilty Fingers, M-66

A punk show for adults... But it's 18+! Wahooo.

Respectable Street (518 Clematis St, West Palm Beach, FL) - Irish Carbomb, No Class Action, The Shakers
9:00pm, ?, 18+

This weekend's shows & new one in Sept

This weekend will be hectic.

Tomorrow (Friday, August 28th, 2009) is Friday Night Riot at Churchill's. Put together by Riot Agents, this show continues to impress with its various random moshing and more than decent bands.

Churchill's Pub - Riot Agents, Guahiro, Nobodys Hero, Los Imigrantes (if this is the same band I saw last time with what looked like all mexican day laborers, it was damn good), Crash Fist Fight
probably ~9pm, $5, probably 18+ (Flier)

Saturday are 3 shows: one in Lake Worth, one in West Palm Beach, one in Sunrise. The really cool thing? They're all all-ages and free!! If you're anywhere near any of these shows go check them out - you cannot beat free entertainment and great music.

J & P's (1600 North Dixie Hwy, West Palm Beach, FL) - The 1%, The Livvers, O.P.S., 1 Hit Left, To Be Hated, Fall of Olympus, Xterminatus, Routine Scheme, Free Radicals, Anger The Gods, Hate Machine, Installing Chaos, Black Weather Shaman, Jolly Bad Fellow, The Clockouts, Nation of Decay

10pm (Flier)

Sunday, August 30th, 2009 is the best event out of all of 'em to me... A record swap, A punk movie, and a live show - all free! You can't beat these free shows.

Cinema Paradiso (503 SE 6th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL) - The Ruins, Tongues of the Heartworm, Anchorman

There's a new show for next week, too:

This is an all-ages show for $5 at an art space. Lots of kegs will be in attendance, so sounds like a good deal...

We're already halfway through the month and there's more shows a-comin'.
Also this month is the second punk record-swap-movie-show event "Can I Say II".

There are three different shows on August 29th. To me this indicates a lack of communication between punk promoters down here, but what the hell do I know?
