FRIDAY

DJ Esoteric

Fort Lauderdale. Dialect at Brew Urban Cafe in Himmarshee
The DJ/Gallery party Dialect has moved to Fridays, and the next installation goes down this Friday the 5th at 7:30. Deejays Utopia Syndrome, Esoteric, Kristof and Adam Foster will spin.  Featured visual artists include Betty Dominguez, Vionette, Zizi Barhouma, Ilian Velasco, Nick Lopez, Eric Small, N! Satterfield, Jeff Dekal and Jennifer Toboada. Good times? Probably. These parties generally get a pretty good draw and they are chill affairs. Though it conflicts with a show that I'm going to this Friday night, I think the move to the weekend will make attending doable for most folks.  I think you could deem a Friday night complete with a little hang out at Dialect followed by a stopoff at Poor House.

Fort Lauderdale. For a second night in a row, The Monterey Club is moving way beyond blues/rockabilly/roots rock this Friday night with a line-up that includes Miami indie pop bands Ex-Norwegian, Dreaming in Stereo and Jim Camacho.

Lake Worth. On Friday night at 9 p.m. Sweet Bronco, The Dewars, Bonnie Riot and Radio Boxer at Propaganda, Sweet Bronco, as you may know, is trucking along, playing lots of shows and recording an as-of-yet unspecified number of its songs at a studio up in Lake Worth. The Dewars I've never heard of before. From their bio and all photographic appearances, it appears that the band is fronted by twin brothers. The band's songs, I like a lot -- especially "High on You", a cute, lyrically charming acoustic song in which their voices meld wonderfully. I guess it helps that they have the same gene structure. Friday will also be the first time that I get see Palm Beach band Bonnie Riot. I'm going to play it safe and wear sensible shoes because their electronic rock songs are highly danceable. Is it just me, or does the singer kind of sound like Geddy Lee from Rush? Rawk.
