Guess who was spotted partying last night at Electric Pickle? Snooki and JWoww! Guess since South Beach is being less the hospitable, the Jersey Shore gang crossed over to the mainland. Here are some grainy iPhone pictures snapped by Tom De Bens.This marks the second time this month a reality…
Miami local album review: Panic Bomber: Discipline
Today Eater’s national arm did a nifty — well, if you are in the restaurant biz — roundup of anonymous restaurant critics, and guess who was mentioned? Our own Lee Klein. While most of the anonymous epicures are exposed in photos, Eater couldn’t come up with a image for Klein,…
Word is swirling around that Ultra Music Festival’s organizers have decided to expand next year’s festival to three days, presumably Friday through Sunday. Supposedly the decision was made after this year’s sellout event.We’ve emailed Ultra’s publicists for comment and are still awaiting a response.But word of advice to the festival’s…
If you missed Major Lazer during Ultra Music Festival you are in luck. The Diplo and Switch side project along with Skerrit Bwoy is coming back to Miami on Saturday, May 15 for a live performance at Grand Central. We were told about the news during Sweatstock by Poplife’s Jake…
If you haven’t heard about Black Bobby, now its time to pay attention. This Harvard grad and D.C. transplant is doing some pretty amazing stuff. He gave up the corporate life in New England and moved down to Miami to pursue a music career. Why Miami? Who the hell knows…
Dividing time between the Big Apple and the Magic City, Team Rojas have a knack for taking each city’s nightlife characteristics and meshing them into dancefloor gold — New York’s foward-thinking mentality with Miami’s raw grittiness. Compromised by EDG4R (Edgar Rojas) and Stravinsky (Erick Rojas) — they are surprisingly not…
Back in January, Animal Collective premiered its visual album ODDSAC at Sundance. The film, directed by filmmaker Danny Perez, is a psychedelic visual delight featuring music by the experimental quartet. After that, the film hit the road with sold-out screenings everywhere from New York to San Francisco, and for a…
This past January, Animal Collective premiered its visual album ODDSAC at Sundance. The film, directed by Danny Perez, is a psychedelic visual delight featuring music by the experimental quartet. After that, the film hit the road with sold-out screenings everywhere from New York to San Francisco, and for a change,…
So we stumble across this image, courtesy of World Red Eye, of Mansion’s current marquee declaring “PER NIK RICHIE & THEDIRTY.COM NO JERSEY SHORE ALLOWED AT MANSION MIAMI.” Nik Richie and TheDirty.com is, according to the website, “the world’s first reality blogger” — whatever that fucking means. Richie writes on…
Last week, we raved about Panic Bomber’s latest effort, Discipline, calling it his best work to date. If you haven’t heard it, do it so now. After that, thank Richard Haig and YYZ Records who have made the Discipline EP Remixes a free download.None of the reworkings match the catchy…

Riptide reported yesterday that homewrecker and sometimes Nazi-fetish enthusiast Michelle “Bombshell” McGee would be hosting LIV’s Dirty Hairy party April 21, marking a new low in tastelessness for Miami Beach. We’ve got to admit, we expected this sort of publicity stunt from other South Beach nightclubs, but not LIV and…
Last week, we announced West Palm Beach’s Surfer Blood was returning to South Florida for a gig at Miami’s Grand Central, but perhaps the more exciting news is who they are coming with. New York’s The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have been making an idyllic noise-pop since 2007,…
Sexy, modern, and sleek are all words that would appropriately describe the lounge inside Tempo Miami, the hotel located within the Marquis building in downtown Miami. If you haven’t heard about it, don’t worry, you aren’t alone. While Tempo is technically open, they are still putting some finishing touches, so…
Panic BomberDiscipline EPYYZ RecordsSince naming Panic Bomber the Best New Electronica Artist last year, lot has changed for Richard Haig. He’s toured through the U.S., U.K., and Canada, and had a successful showcase during last month’s SXSW. And after two self-released albums, Calling in Threats and Getting on My Mind,…
Normally we’d be the first ones to turn our noses up at pop music, but there is just something about Rihanna that is so likable. Maybe it’s her seemingly down-to-earth attitude, or that she went through the whole Chris Brown scandal with class and dignity — even if the press…
We probably promised a few posts back that we wouldn’t talk about Winter Music Conference or Ultra Music Festival anymore, but we just stumbled across this great video of Afrobeta performing live at last month’s festival. The duo got an awesome late-evening slot on the Bayfront Live Stage, which sources…
Old money, posh hotels, and high-end shops are the norm in the 25 mph, sleepy Village of Bal Harbour. It’s the last place you’d think a so-hip-it-hurts music festival would take place. But the town will hold its inaugural Ten-in-One Music Festival at the One Bal Harbour Resort & Spa…
This past Winter Music Conference, the W South Beach held a private party in the penthouse of the hotel which featured a live performance by the Golden Filter (a personal favorite) and celebrated the release of Symmetry, a CD compilation curated by music director of the W brand, Michaelangelo L’Acqua.We…
When are we going to finally be able to get our post-WMC rest? It seems like things aren’t slowing down despite the colossal music event that finished a little more than a week ago. LIV’s Wednesday night party Dirty Hairy might have taken a break this week from booking a…
When you get two of the South’s best DJs in one room you know something special is going to happen. Klever and Craze are both known for bringing the bass — hard. Klever has been an ALT godsend, whose championship DMC titles, among others, are endless. Craze, of course, is…
