​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.

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.

​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.
