There's live music. And then there's everything else.

Only the birth of a child, they say, can trump the wave of emotions that floods a music fan when his favorite band takes the stage. And for most musicians, that same level of euphoria repeats itself on each new record and tour. So to say that veteran Southern California punk outfit Face to Face is happy to be touring North America in support of its latest record, Three Chords and a Half Truth, is an understatement.

The band is thrilled.

Attack! Attack! is playing Culture Room this week.

Driven Music Conference
Conference 9 a.m. Thursday, May 16, to Sunday, May 19, at Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six, 2301 SE 17th St., Fort Lauderdale. Showcase 1 p.m. Friday, May 17, to Saturday, May 18, at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $29. Call 954-449-1025, or visit drivenflorida.com.
Before South by Southwest became the entertainment industry's hottest convention, it was a quaint music conference attended by about 800 insiders its first year. Now, the annual Austin, Texas, showcase is the largest festival of its kind. Closer to home, however, the Driven Music Conference, which takes over the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six from Thursday through Sunday, continues its path to also becoming a major music-industry destination. "We're connecting the dots between younger emerging artists and top-level music-industry executives," Driven Entertainment Group CEO Dominick Centi told the Sun Sentinel. "This is an opportunity [emerging artists] might not otherwise have, to network and showcase their work."

Tim McGraw Will Rough You Up Before Discussing His Almighty Hat

A man with thirty number one singles and eleven number one albums who has starred in a handful of hit movies, possesses a pilot's license, and owns an island in the Bahamas, it's easy to say that Tim McGraw is so much more than just a one trick "hat act." But he does sport a pretty solid, black leather, Western style Resistol almost one hundred percent of the time as his most notable accessory.

Top Five Must-See Shows in Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach This Week

Suenalo
9:30 p.m. Friday, March 22, at the Funky Biscuit, 303 SE Mizner Blvd., Royal Palm Place, Boca Raton. Tickets cost $10 in advance, $15 at the door. Call 561-395-2929, or visit funkybiscuit.com.

Throughout the history of international folklore, humankind has been obsessed with mythical monsters assembled from different parts of animals that actually exist. There was, of course, Cerberus, the one dog with the head of three that guarded the entrance to the ancient Greek afterlife, Hades. No matter how terrifying the hound was meant to be, it would likely be a little underwhelming if standing next to Medieval Europe's Calygreyhound, a schizophrenic beast composed of the head of a wildcat, body of a deer, forelegs of an eagle, and hind legs of an ox. Personally, we prefer our exotic lusus naturae to be mighty but classically simple, like the Japanese fish/snake/dragon Jiaolong.

"Because We Can" Tour. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 2, at BB&T Center, 1 Panther Parkway, Sunrise. Tickets start at $29.50 with fees. Call 954-835-8000, or visit thebbtcenter.com.

Time is money, right? Well, in a comparable fashion, drugs and rock 'n' roll can be boiled down to a lone common entity. Coincidentally (or not), this shared denominator is none other than the final piece of that popular discursive triad. What we mean is, "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" is really just a fancy way of saying "sex, sex, and sex." In fact, just about everything can be boiled down to doing it, bumpin' uglies, freakin', kertanging, and so on. 

Tell us that Jon Bon Jovi and his battalion of '80s arena-rock hairspray are bringing their classic, anthemic shout-along epics to BB&T Center in Sunrise, and all we hear is "JBJ is droppin' Granny's panties!"

5. Curren$y
8 p.m. Friday, February 22, at Revolution Live. 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $30 plus fees. Call 954-449-1025, or visit jointherevolution.net.

It's pretty clear from his songs and Facebook page that Curren$y likes to ride fancy cars and fancy gals. The New Orleans rapper is all about the Jet Life, which is also the name of the imprint he owns and operates under Warner Bros. Records and which includes a crew of other talents from the Big Easy. Last year, Spitta, as he is also known, released The Stoned Immaculate on Warner Bros. in what was presumably a veiled nod to the smoky-smoky, another of his favorite topics.

While everyone else in the world are trying to keep their chilly booties toasty, we're stripping down and cooling off in our mama's pool. It's hot, friends, and it's winter. To even mention global warming, with 80 degree weather dominating December and January, would mean to admit that the polar bears are fucked, and our houses'll be under water before the mortgages are paid off. 

Since it's almost all over, let's enjoy the music. Here's our list of best concerts taking place around town this week.
