If you’re hitting up Zo’s Summer Groove, y’all gonna get to discover a “Woman’s Worth,” chill with “My Boo,” and slip into an “Empire State of Mind” at Saturday night’s benefit dinner and gala. That’s right … Soul-pop diva, 14-time Grammy winner, and Swizz Beatz’s baby mama Alicia Keys was…

​We bet Billy Graham wishes he had thought of it back in the day — leveraging his radio-preaching, television-evangelizing persona into an even more lucrative superstar empire by adding a dance number to his sermons. In 2011, though, we’ve got Marcos Witt belting out solos praising Jesus and his baby…

Few labels have had a greater impact on dance music in the new millennium than DFA Records, the beloved imprint of LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy. With acts like the Rapture, Hot Chip, Shit Robot, and Holy Ghost! on its all-star roster, DFA’s injected the international scene with a reinvigorating shot…

Lil B With O’Grime and YNG June 12, 2011 Better Than: The outcome of the NBA Finals. Last night, hip-hop cult sensation Lil B performed to a small crowd at downtown nightclub Eve. The event was announced the day before, promoted almost exclusively on Facebook, and subject to a fair…

When guitar god Dick Dale straps on his superpowered Fender Strat, he’s not fucking playing. Strings will snap. Ears will bleed. Speakers will explode. And last night at the Vagabond, the 74-year-old axe master — also known as the King of the Surf Guitar, the Godfather of Heavy Metal, the…

You hear that? In the distance. That chanting. It sounds like some sort of mantra, like some sort of militaristic call to arms. It rings out from Western Hialeah, all the way to Pinecrest. What are the people saying? What is this holy refrain? Wait, wait, I can make it…

Los Amigos Invisibles With Minimal Grand Central Miami June 11, 2011 Better Than: Your standard art walk afterparty. The disco ball was all too fitting at Grand Central last night with the funky, disco jazz rock-pop fusion of Los Amigos Invisibles. Only the Grammy-winning Venezuelan band could have a whole…

If you follow Lil Wayne’s every word, whisper, tweet, or bowel movement with the same kind of psycho obsession as Crossfade, then we suggest you get a life, a little professional help, and maybe even some medication. It’s ruined our life. And it can ruin yours too. But if you’re…

The issue of the arts within Cuba is a polarizing one. And you’d be hard pressed to find a more politically charged art form out of the island than Nueva Trova, which was more than just a genre following the revolution that put Castro in power in 1959. It was…

If rock ‘n’ roll was invented in America and then adopted by the Brits, who sold it back to us via the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc., then Germany did the same for deep house. Much of the EDM landscape of the last decade has been shaped by German…

What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than by taking the old man to a punk show? Surely, he’d appreciate the angry vocals, distorted guitars, and angsty lyrics over a showing of Green Lantern’s pussy CGI effects. Or maybe you can sit him at the bar for a cheap cold…
