When jam band Phish took over the American Airlines Arena four nights in a row, we never expected the city to turn into a neo-psychedelia mecca. But the high seems to have lasted long after Phish and its phans left town, courtesy of the six-day Jam Cruise setting sail from…
Just because you are still recovering from the hangover incurred on New Year’s Eve doesn’t mean you need to spend the rest of the weekend in bed. Take advantage of the fact that you are enjoying an extra-long weekend. Trust us — Miami nightlife isn’t going to wait for your…
We’ve talked about DJ/production duo LA Riots plenty on this blog. And how can you blame us? It seems like they are in town every chance they get. Recently, they spun at Fort Lauderdale’s Exit 66 only to return soon there after to take over the decks at LIV. Over…
Local DJs like Oscar G and Cedric Gervais may get all the glory on a national level, but they better watch out for Lazaro Casanova. The young musician has gone from obscure indie-party DJ to legit techno/house producer. He even paired up with Jay-You to create a bi-coastal record label,…
Another year in the books. It is just us or did 2009 seemed to rush by like it was in overdrive? Still, 2009 was another stellar year for clubland, music and all. The economic recession didn’t prove to be the wet blanket many had predicted it would be. The nightclubs…
You just spent Christmas Day opening presents, and instead of that sweet MacBook you wanted, your parents got you a Dell, a poor person’s PC. Why do they hate you so much? Don’t they understand the status symbol of a Mac evokes greatness as you pretend to write the next…
Face it. You waited until the last minute to buy Christmas gifts. You could take the easy route and just get everyone gift cards, but a piece of plastic hardly says you put in any thought. That’s where everyone’s favorite local independent music store comes in. Tonight, Sweat Records is…
Paris-via-South Florida singer Uffie has been quiet for the last few years. However, late this year she finally released a video for her track “Pop The Glock” — almost 4 years after it was released. Ed Banger head honcho Pedro Winter, a.k.a. Busy P, explained that the odd move was…
The end of the year is almost upon us and since a lot of us are on vacation and too lazy to do any actual reporting, we fill up our time doing awesome end-of-year pieces recapping everything that was. Still, it’s nice to take a step back and look at…
Here is a bit of weekend leftovers that we didn’t get around to posting until late. If you missed dubstep master Rusko at White Room on Saturday you perhaps missed the most energetic DJ set you’d probably ever witness. The Brit isn’t just content playing to a crowd, he wants…
It’s there, lurking in your closet buried underneath mounds of clothes. You’d donate it to Goodwill but you know you are obligated to wear it once a year to prove to grandma that you “absolutely love it.” Beside, who would be stupid enough to buy it even if it was…
The temperature dropped the weekend, which finally gave us reason to take out our Cosby sweaters. But in case the cold kept you indoors, here is what you missed over the weekend:Surfer Blood at VagabondWest Palm Beach’s Surfer Blood finally came home after being on the road to a warm…
Let’s just put this out there first: Lady Gaga is a hack who thinks she’s doing the world a favor by making an “artistic statement.” Sorry, her music and performances are about as artistic as something our 5-year-old niece drew. We’d just like her to admit she’s doing straight-up commercial…
All the best things in life are free. So wouldn’t it be nice if there were a free New Year’s Eve event to go to? Wait, there is! Thanks to Giant Step — the same people who brought Kid Sister to the Delano for Art Basel — Baltimore’s Rye Rye…
Is it Winter Music Conference yet? No? How odd. Because that seems to be the only time British electro-house duo Simian Mobile Disco ever make it down to Miami. Not that we are complaining. When we heard they were on the bill for Shore Club’s New Year’s Eve celebration we…
In this week’s issue, we previewed Rachel Goodrich’s appearance with Awesome New Republic at the Awarehouse on Saturday. Unfortunately — or fortunately, depending on what way you look at it — American Apparel will be hosting a rummage sale all weekend long at the Wynwood venue so the show has…
If you aren’t aware yet, it’s the holiday season, which means the advertisements on television are focusing heavily on toys that kids don’t really need and will probably forget about a month after unwrapping. Still, that didn’t stop Crayola from brainwashing children into thinking they need a silly contraption called…
Pitchfork’s love affair with West Palm Beach’s Surfer Blood continued this week when the online music site picked “Swim” as the one of the top singles of 2009. It came in at number 37 out of 100. Pitchfork says, “Any self-respecting ‘pop craftsman’ would’ve whittled away at that ‘Needles in…
Actual conversation over iChat:”Are you going to Chelley tomorrow?”Who the fuck is Chelley?”Here.”Oh, THAT SONG!”So, are you coming tomorrow?”What’s in it for me?”A really bad performance for you to publicly hate.”Check out, Chelley tomorrow at LIV for its Dirty Hairy party. For more information, visit livnightclub.com or call 305-674-4680…
If dubstep was a kingdom, then Rusko would surely be its king. The British born, L.A. transplant has been damaging speakers worldwide with his hard hitting beats. But limiting him to the genre of dubstep would be underestimating the 23-year-old. He easily mixes electro, hip-hop, and even pop, within his…
The holiday season is already in full swing which means events around South Florida aren’t hard to come by. So in case you were out shopping for ungrateful relatives, here is what you missed over the weekend:Y100 Jingle Ball 2009 at BankAtlantic CenterShakira, Jordin Sparks, Flo Rida and more took…
If you’ve hit up the downtown/Wynwood nightlife scene, you most likely are familiar with LA DJ duo Classixx, even if you aren’t aware of it. They are partly responsible for turning tracks into dancefloor gold through the art of remixing, including Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” and the Ting Tings’ “Shut Up and…
