Steve Lawler at Wall Lounge December 28

High atop the list of shit that South Florida doesn’t need is another tool. The Tri-County Area is littered with them. But come early February, four more will make a pitstop in west Broward. Though Maynard James Keenan and his cronies haven’t released an album in over five years, the…

Check out the photos from 12th Planet’s afterparty with a surprise set by Skrillex at Grand Central. Skrillex With 12th Planet Fillmore Miami Beach December 17, 2011 Better Than: All other dubstep productions. Yeah, that’s a pretty big statement to make. But, well, we just made it. “Holy shit. WTF?”…

At the height of her late-’90s and early-2000s exile from the weird world of popular music, there were rumors (and even media reports) about ex-Fugees frontwoman and queen diva Ms. Lauryn Hill living out of a massive Miami hotel room with her hubby, Rowan Marley (yes, a son of Bob),…

UPDATE Ultra Music Festival has finally announced its Phase 1 lineup. Check out Ultra 2012’s 92-act roster, headlined by Avicii, Tiësto, and David Guetta. Our sources at Ultra Music Festival have leaked some big news, telling us that an appearance by New Wave icons New Order at this year’s festival…

Break out your biggest bag of OG kush. Burn a bunch of superdoobies. And board your private Gulfstream for the MIA. Earlier today, NOLA rapper and marijuana connoisseur Curren$y announced (in tandem with his own Jets International and local event-slash-video production company Dope Ent) that he’ll be spending New Year’s…

UPDATE Ultra Music Festival has finally announced its Phase 1 lineup. Check out Ultra 2012’s 92-act roster, headlined by Avicii, Tiësto, and David Guetta. We’ve been snooping around the last few weeks, hoping someone would slip up and announce they are scheduled to perform at Ultra Music Festival 2012, scheduled…

​We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Miami’s underground EDM scene is on fire! This week alone, there are five world-class bookings. And there’s a little something for everyone, from the dark minimal techno heads to the leftfield live electronica connoisseurs. We’ve got the usual local crews –…

We could write a book about Henry Stone’s musical contributions. The dude is a legend. Based in Miami since about 1948, he was good friends with Sam Cooke. He cut some of Ray Charles’s earliest recordings out of a little studio on Flagler Street in Downtown Miami. And he personally…

Over the last 17 years, Romeo Santos and bachata boy band Aventura have won the overflowing adoration of prepubescent girls, their mothers, and 35-year-old guys in white pants who love to dance. In the process, Santos and sidekicks scored a surplus of American Music Awards, Premio Lo Nuestro statues, and…

What’s overly emotional Young Money rapper Drake doin’ right now? Well, if the cover of his recently released sophomore slab, Take Care, were a candid snapshot of Drizzy’s private life, you’d think homeboy spent his days and nights locked alone in his billion-dollar mansion like Al Pacino in Scarface, sipping…

Earlier this week, the Black Keys dropped one of the best albums of 2011, El Camino. The record quickly skyrocketed to the top of the iTunes chart, slapping Michael Buble’s Christmas record out of the top spot and triggering a Miami-based remix from one of New Times’ favorite hip-hop acts…

Even though cranky American music snobs like Crossfade might dismiss Chris Martin and Coldplay as foreign providers of “safe and sentimental sonic wallpaper,” there’s no denying that this Brit pop-rock crew stands to inherit the proverbial arena whenever U2 and Radiohead finally shuffle off the scene. With seven Grammys and…
