Are Music Stores the New Record Shops?

When I heard Spec's Records was closing down, I couldn't help but feel an era had ended even though the era ended a long time ago. In all honesty, it's amazing a record shop selling mostly CDs and DVDs lasted all the way to January 2013.

I can't remember the last time I bought an album at an actual store. But I can remember where I bought my first music. It was a cassette of the Beastie Boys' License to Ill that I purchased at Spec's.

On to the Next: The Reckless Dames Leave Green Room

The Reckless Dames aren't afraid to play with fire and never get burned.

After a yearlong weekly gig at the Green Room Nightclub, the Reckless Dames have parted ways with their burlesque home-base venue.

According to a Green Room rep, "We [Green Room] decided to stop doing the weekly burlesque because we want to stagger our entertainment." The spokesperson continued by saying, "We love the Reckless Dames... They've helped shape Green Room's identity from the inception of Saturdays, and we will continue to work with them by adding them to selective nights." Essentially, this is just a hiatus so that Green Room can expand its entertainment showcases, including live music. They added that they will host "selective nights that solely feature their burlesque troop."

Pineapple Groove Under New Ownership

Delray Beach music venue Pineapple Groove has already switched ownership under a year after its grand opening.

The 8,000 square foot club opened its doors in December with the backing of brothers Mitch and Richard Clarvit, and launched right into working on connecting with the local music scene with a Best of Homegrown Concert Series featuring Mike Mineo, Rachel Goodrich, Spred the Dub, and Fusik.

Last week, Mitch posted a bulletin on Facebook saying that "with a great deal of sadness, mixed with a pinch of relief," he's passed ownership to Jim Layson of 88's Entertainment.

Langerado Is Canceled -- Which Bands Will Play South Florida Anyhow?

Will Donald Glover, AKA Childish Gambino, still hit South Florida?

The aftermath of the canceled Langerado Music Festival is a sad time indeed for music fans, journalists, promoters, and upstart energy-drink producers who were hoping to expand market share. But let's not forget about the several dozen musicians who now are scrambling to fill a performance gap for the second weekend in October.

And maybe that's what some of the cash-strapped local music fans wanted anyhow instead of biting off $150 for the handful of acts that appealed to them.

We announced yesterday that the Arctic Monkeys are on their way to Revolution instead of Markham Park, and it's suspected that several other bands will follow suit with shows at the area clubs in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties. With the exception of a couple of bands that don't seem to want people to know when and where they perform, we have compiled a list of Langerado artists organized by the likelihood of a local concert.

Heads Up

Rock Allegiance Tour Moved to Pompano Beach Amphitheatre

The "Loud Riffs, Cheap Tix" credo of the Rock Allegiance Tour will now be available to even more South Florida fist-pumping fans. You see, originally the show was to take place at Florida Atlantic University's Arena, AKA "The Burrow," in Boca Raton. But due to the powers of hungry rockers in our area, the party starring Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Puddle of Mudd, P.O.D., Red, Crossfade, and Drive A is moving to a bigger shed. The Pompano Beach Amphitheatre should prove to be an even larger, riotous spot for these bands to get loud next Wednesday, September 7.

And if you were paying attention, Puddle of Mudd has a new album of covers, Re:(disc)overed, which guitarist Paul Phillips detailed to Jose Flores in this week's print edition.
