Karina Iglesias Brings Soul to the Van Dyke This Friday

No, this isn’t the Latina La Roux, though admittedly her hair is funky and awesome. Karina Iglesias is a local girl. She’s sultry, smooth and soulful. And though she may not be what first comes to mind when you think of Miami’s live music scene, perhaps she too should have…

AutoErotique Spins at Louis on Friday, August 6

It wasn’t long ago that Toronto duo AutoErotique was known as VNDLSM, which closely resemble the name of another vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo. Perhaps it was because they signed to the Dim Mak label — also home to that other vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo — that the pair changed their…

Rihanna Will Star in a Film Based on the Board Game Battleship

The latest musician – turning – movie star is Rihanna. As soon as she finishes her  Last Girl On Earth Tour, which lands in Miami this Saturday at the American Airlines Arena, she’s set to star in director Peter Berg’s (Hancock) film adaptation of that game we all loved as a kid: Battleship…

Stream Mogwai’s Film Burning Here Today at 3 p.m. EST!

We’ve all been there: There’s a really cool music documentary that’s just been released, and it’s not showing anywhere in Miami — or worse, it’s only being screened one day and at one time, which aren’t really convenient. Luckily, this time around the Internet’s making real-life geography irrelevant.Recently we’ve seen…

Local Motion: Bulletproof Tiger, The Starving Hearts EP

​Kristopher Huseby of Fireside Social fame is probably one of the better drummers we have down here, and it turns out he can pluck the bass and sing pretty well to boot. Enter Bulletproof Tiger, his latest, excellent project. The band just released its debut EP, Starving Hearts, which upholds…

Nineteen Dead After Love Parade Stampede

It seems like the curse plaguing electronic music events took a vacation overseas to cause mayhem over at Germany’s Love Parade this weekend where 19 were killed after a stampede at the entrance of the event. Again, like Electric Daisy Carnival, organizers failed to provide adequate security and space for…

La Roux Shows at Both Culture Room and Mansion Are Canceled

It’s been a banner year for La Roux, who has gone from hipster favorite stateside to somewhat unlikely mainstream crossover. (Really — “Bulletproof” has been in heavy rotation on local pop station Y100 for a minute now.) Still, the whirlwind of touring and activity can wear on someone, and unfortunately,…

Juanes Join Harmonix’s Pantheon of Hard-Rocking Badasses

Well, it seems that Miami’s most famous Colombian resident is once again making waves, and this time it has nothing to do with heated debate over Juanes’ well-meaning Peace Without Borders concert in Cuba (which didn’t go quite as planned). It’s not even about the release of his upcoming and…
