Know what we love about living in Miami? All the British culture. Have you ventured into Little Britain for some Cornish pasties or over to London Town for a sleeve of McVitie’s digestive cookies? Of course you haven’t. Save for the odd double-decker bus and Winston portrait courtesy of Churchill’s Pub, Anglophiles are damn near starving in South Florida. So when we catch wind of a band that sounds a little like Joy Division and a lot like Placebo, we perk up. Miami’s resident Britpop group, Astari Nite, allows us to close our eyes and fantasize about a bunch of limeys smothering themselves in cod and vinegar and stumbling out of pubs along the Thames. And this Saturday, Astari Nite will put on a release party for its latest EP, Requiem Mass, at the Stage. Sharing the bill will be the State Of and sets by DJs Al B. Rotten, Chico Biscayne, and Vulgurth.
