Southern fried and finger licking good: Southern Culture on the Skids<br />
makes two appearances in south Florida this month. The North Carolina<br />
band is supporting their latest release Mojo Box (Yeproc Records),<br />
and if you haven’t ever seen them, well then, what in God’s name are<br />
you waiting for? The band puts on one hell of a show, complete with<br />
ass shakin’ rock and roll, and lots of big hair. Wednesday March 3 rd at<br />
I/O Lounge, Miami, and Thursday March 4 th at Respectable Street,<br />
West Palm Beach.<br />
With all this pseudo retro rock becoming popular, why not just go see<br />
the real thing, and one of the bands that started it all? Finally a concert<br />
where you can yell out “Freebird” and not look like an ass. Lynyrd<br />
Skynyrd with Georgia Satellites, Saturday March 6 th , Sound Advice<br />
Amp., West Palm Beach.<br />
I double dog dare you to yell out “Freebird” at a Cannibal Corpse<br />
show. The band that’s banned in various countries around the globe<br />
will be tearing it up at the Culture Room. There are other notables<br />
on the bill as well: Vile, Exhumed, and Hypocrisy. Saturday March<br />
13 th , Culture Room, Ft. Lauderdale. And good luck with that<br />
“Freebird” thing.<br />
“That’s what’s great about songwriting, that you get to express that<br />
day or that moment immediately and then relive it over and over again<br />
and every time you sing it means something different,” Melissa<br />
Ferrick told Rag <strong>Magazine</strong> back in 2002. The Boston-based singer<br />
songwriter just released a live album, 70 People At 700 Feet, and has<br />
a new one around the corner. Ferrick’s live shows are intense, raw,<br />
and completely exhilarating—indie rock at its best. New York City<br />
singer-songwriter Edie Carey also plays, as well as south Florida’s<br />
own Beverly McClellan. Saturday March 13 th , Respectable Street,<br />
West Palm Beach.<br />
In its third year, Calliope Fest is working hard at becoming the little<br />
festival that could. Started by promoter Jeff Freeman in 2000, Calliope<br />
Fest picks up where Lilith Fair left off, and manages to bring an<br />
incredible amount of talent under one roof. Billing itself as a “celebration<br />
of women in music”, Calliope Fest should not be missed. Lisa<br />
Loeb headlines Saturday night, and Sophie B. Hawkins headlines<br />
Sunday night. There are a slew of talented women playing both days.<br />
Nini Camps, Amy Steinberg, Halcyon, Diane Ward, Linda Nunez,<br />
The Sirens, and many more. Saturday March 26 th and Sunday March<br />
27 th , Young Circle, Hollywood.<br />
I am so excited about this show I can’t stand it, so I’ll just get right to<br />
the point. Slipknot, Chimaira, Fear Factory. This year’s edition of<br />
the Jagermeister Music Tour is sick as hell, and will be huge.<br />
Wednesday March 31 st , Backstage at Sound Advice Amp., West Palm<br />
Beach.
