Your final night ashore in South Florida's gonna be spent getting totally Fucked Up.
And no, we don't mean intoxicated. We're talking about a cerebral punk crew from Canada.
It's a six-piece sonic destruction machine led by a 300-pound human wrecking ball named Father Damian. You, your...

What happens when a love-crazed Miami club promoter spends a few days in Las Vegas, hits a small jackpot in a roulette table, and then ties the knot at a kitschy wedding chapel complete with an Elvis-impersonator minister? For Oski Gonzalez, Tobacco Road’s resident DJ and head promoter,...

While lyrically fusing the activist-artist model of feminist folk rockers like Ani Difranco with the cuter, hornier ramblings of indie-folks like Kimya Dawson, Ruiz's upbeat, sunny music and sassy classic jazz vocals ultimately recall another coy South Florida strummer: Rachel Goodrich. Just...

Every year in Spain, Tomatina, where an entire city is turned into a massive tomato fight, takes over the world's imagination. Today, Tobacco Road stages our own Miami version aided by the venue's massive parking lot, and a container full of 25,000 tomatoes direct from Homestead.

Bardot :

Having a good time on a Saturday night at Bardot is no mission impossible, especially when Com Truise is in the house. The Ghostly International label signee presents warped synth visions of future past that should segue easily from the experimental indie and DJ acts that open for him.

Hansel y Raul are a charanga music based tropical Latin duo from Cuba who have been lighting up stages, hearts, and album sale charts since moving to NYC in 1976. But when they moved to Miami in 1980, Grammy award in tow, is when the party really started, and it hasn't stopped since.

The B-52s are living proof that sodium bloat and poor chopstick skills are not the only things that come from Chinese restaurants. The band formed in 1976 at such an establishment in Athens, Georgia, and named itself after the Southern slang term for exaggerated bouffant hairdos. The group...

Seattle is the staph-infected armpit of America, and grunge is the second-worst-smelling music genre next to crust punk. In Seattle, it’s illegal to burn flannel, and you have to meet an elitist quotient to claim residency. Twenty years ago, the city thought itself too cool for Candlebox,...

Yeah, yeah, Churchill's is a great place to drink beer, shoot pool, smoke cigs, look surly, and show off your lousy acting talent — but it's also got one hell of a jazz jam. Monday nights are what you want. The music starts around 9:00 p.m. and includes a performance by a band, followed...

Drake grew up in the wealthy Forest Hill section of Toronto and has been living in the spotlight since 2001, when, at the age of 14, he debuted as the basketball-playing, wheelchair-bound Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation. In 2006, he released his first...

Miami may not have completely shed its reputation as a party mecca, even for its full-time residents. But with cats like DJ Manuvers coming up and taking over, we might one day also be known for our work ethic.
Of course, you might expect some fast action from one whose name is both a noun...

On any given Thursday evening at the Palms Hotel on South Beach, you'll find an intimate confab of hipsters swaying to a decidedly worldly beat. The party's called Sip and Spa, and as the name implies, it's as heavy on the cocktails as it is on the massage. Actually, there might be even more...

When New Times first caught up with DJ D-Up, the D.C. native was bringing his no-holds-barred "party music" to the Rose Bar at South Beach's infamous Delano each and every Saturday night. He also was swooping into the continually cool Mokai about once a month.

Few DJs can boast a history of beat-dropping that dates back to the days of grade school. Then again, few DJs grew up in houses as heavy with sound as that of DJ Oski. Oski's pops, Pepe Pothea, was a player — he handled percussion for some of salsa's most active bands throughout the '70s...

It's late Saturday night. A club is raftered with Colombians, Venezuelans, Argentines, and Bolivians. There are also Cubans, primarily born in Florida. And there's a smattering of Italians. Pepper the crowd with a fistful of Yanks and then stir.
That's the stew. It could be La Paz; it could be...
