Oscar G and Lazaro Casanova in West Palm Beach

I have never really talked about the live music scene for house and trance music, but I figured with these two acts performing in our very own West Palm Beach, FLA, I had to let everyone know.

Oscar G and Lazaro Casanova are very well-known in their genre of music. They are famous house and trance disc jockeys that have been in the game for almost 10 years now. Oscar G, the headliner holds special parties in only "special cities". These parties, called "Made In Miami", are exclusive and expensive, for a nightclub at least. 

The show is next Wednesday Nov. 24, 2010, the biggest party night of the year. It will be held at Monarchy Nightclub in West Palm Beach, FLA.

Tickets are $35 and can be bought the day of the show outside Monarchy Nightclub on Clematis St. 

Oscar G has a new album entitled 'Live From NYC' which is in stores now. Lazaro Casanova is like Oscar's "sidekick". Together, they rock any venue they are at. 

For all info on Oscar G, including his biography, tour dates, audio, and booking info, visit his website.

Check out the video below of Oscar G the last time he was at Monarchy Nightclub.

South Side Dub at Pirates Well on Saturday

South Side Dub, a band consisting of energetic and experienced instrumentalists came together nine years ago to form a group that has united reggae music lovers all over Palm Beach County. Brian Bianco, lead singer explains, "We are three dudes playing a type of music we love with great passion. We call is "Sublime-ish". We are just trying to make good songs based on a reggae style of music that has been emulated by millions for decades" (South Side Dub).  

The band has toured all over Palm Beach County and already has a large and growing fan-base. Their music can be compared to that of Sublime, or maybe even The Dirty Heads. If you ask me, Bianco sounds very similar to Rome, the new lead singer for Sublime.

South Side Dub writes and produces originals, as well as plays covers of a lot of Sublime and Bob Marley music.

Formed in Columbus, Ohio, this multi-platinum band made up of three members has rocked their way around the world and back again, sharing their music with fans of all backgrounds. Rascal Flatts unlike most bands, especially country rock bands, have a large fan base made up of people from all place and ages.
