Sasha SET Nightclub	Sun., November 8	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Welsh DJ/producer Sasha (born Alexander Paul Coe) is that rare breed of artist that has managed to balance massive commercial success and notoriety with artistic integrity throughout his long-standing career. I won't go into too many details about his myriad accolades through the years, which... More >>

Damas Gratis Kukaramakara	Sun., November 8, 7:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
It's entirely possible, unless you reside in Little Buenos Aires (right up there between North and South Beach ... where Las Vacas Gordas throws down!), that you're unfamiliar with Damas Gratis. Hailing from Argentina, the eight-piece band has never been to Miami before. But these guys have... More >>

Manatour Culture Room	Sun., November 8	Fort Lauderdale	Music Nightlife
At first glance, a band called Hit The Lights would probably be considered a Metallica cover band. After all, it's the name of one of the best songs on Kill 'Em All. But in an interview for the Warped Tour, HTL let it fly that their name came from the greatest skateboarding movie of all time:... More >>

Converge Pompano Beach Amphitheatre	Sun., November 8, 6:30pm	Northeast Broward	Film Music Nightlife
To the uninitiated, the Massachusetts quartet Converge can be downright terrifying. And it's not because they appear clad in face paint or leather and chains -- this underground punk-bred foursome would never waste time on costume-like trappings. Rather, part of the reason they are so scary is... More >>

Black Death All Stars The Firefly	Sun., November 8, 7:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
And so continues DIY punks' fascination with bluegrass. Among a subset of youth that patches its own pants and enjoys hitchhiking to places such as Pensacola, the fiddle and jug have sparked a frisson of authentic Americanness. This explains why almost every college town has bearded types... More >>

Sasha SET Nightclub	Sun., November 8, 11:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Welsh DJ/producer Sasha (born Alexander Paul Coe) is that rare breed of artist that has managed to balance massive commercial success and notoriety with artistic integrity throughout his long-standing career. I won't go into too many details about his myriad accolades through the years, which... More >>

Rainbow Kisses Nocturnal	Every week Sunday, 11:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	LGBT Events Music Nightlife
If you kissed a girl and liked it, you’re probably well aware of Rainbow Kisses at Nocturnal on Sunday nights. The week-old party is only one of a handful of lesbian nights in Miami. Maybe this marks a gayelle renaissance, probably set to the tune of something written by the Indigo Girls.... More >>

Back Seat Betty Love Hate Lounge	Every week Monday, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Take off that shiny shirt and wash the Nice 'n' Smooth from your hair, because Mondays are for no-fuss partying. Hell, it's bad enough you had to interrupt your weekend debauchery to show up for work. This Monday night, bring your beginning-of-the-week angst to Love Hate Lounge for its newest... More >>

Big D & the Kids Table Propaganda	Tue., November 10	Central Palm	Music Nightlife
Frankly, the many-membered Boston act Big D and the Kids Table were not, at their inception, among the front-runners for survival of ska's so-called "Third Wave" in the '90s. The band started a little too late — 1995 — to be seen as truly authentic at the movement's peak, around '97... More >>

Side Door Tuesdays RokBar	Every week Tuesday, 11:59am	South Beach	Music Nightlife
South Beach's Rokbar is really neither a rock club nor a bar. Instead, the hip lounge focuses on bringing together beautiful people with a yen for bottle service and plenty of attitude. Still, the venue has always made a name for itself by doing the unexpected. It has hosted events as divergent... More >>

Badfish Revolution Live	Wed., November 11, 8:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music Nightlife
Long Beach-bred punk-ska band Sublime was on the verge of national success when frontman Brad Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996, right after work on Sublime's major-label debut was completed. To help fill the void left by the band, Rhode Island-based quartet Badfish does a very personal... More >>

The Simple Life Buck15	Every week Thursday, 11:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
In the world of South Beach nightlife, clubs open, parties take off, promoters rise to fame, and then one day the promoter is gone and the building turns into an empanada shop. But not the Simple Life. Held Thursday nights at Buck15, the Simple Life has been going strong for years thanks to... More >>

G by Guess’ Ultimate Remix Tour Dolphin Mall	Fri., November 13, 8:30pm	West Dade / Hialeah	Music Nightlife
You probably know Samantha Ronson better for her tabloid magazines and gossip site notoriety than for her skills as a DJ. For a while, even we played a game of is-she-or-is-she-not when her seemingly 24/7 companion, fallen starlet Lindsay Lohan, fueled speculation the two were romantically... More >>

Roofless Records In-Store Show Sweat Records	Sat., November 14, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music
“Before there were blogs, there were webzines,” says Roofless Records head Matthew Preira, who started booking shows with Florida’s Underfoot as a kid. Then he transitioned from staging ska, punk, and hardcore events to four years of college booking bands, promoting campus fests,... More >>

Blind Faith Lincoln Theatre	Sat., November 14, 7:30pm more dates/times	South Beach	Music
There’s something drunken about the word “klezmer,” maybe because much of the music it stands for developed at weddings where, inevitably, the dancing crowd consumed a little too much wine; the young felt, perhaps, a little too much joy; and the elderly felt, perhaps, a little... More >>

Pagliacci and Suor Angelica Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts	Sat., November 14, 8:00pm more dates/times	Miami / Central Dade	Music Opera Theater
Composer Pierre Boulez once said that the solution to the declining audience for opera was to blow up the opera houses, the kind of overly dramatic line that, quite frankly, belongs in an opera. If drama’s your thing, you can’t do better than the original pairing of one-act operas... More >>

Porn to Be A Star Dream	Tue., November 17, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
There are those lucky few born for the loftiest pursuits, such as the office of the President of the United States of America. Then, there are others, even luckier, who were put on this Earth to get their weewees and vajayjays wet in exchange for cash money. The rest of us just watch. Now, if... More >>

Steve Miller Band Hard Rock Live	Tue., November 17, 8:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
It seems that contempt for his radio-friendly '70s tunes such as "The Joker" and "Fly Like an Eagle" drove Steve Miller off the stage in '80s. He told Rolling Stone in 2008, "Bands like X were the big thing in L.A., and my work was being called unmitigated slop. I said to myself, 'I get it! I'm... More >>

DJ Mednas Bancroft Supperclub	Every week Thursday	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Miamians take a rightful pride in our reputation as the northernmost capital of South America. But if we're ever going to be truly considered a world-class city, it'll be because of cats like DJ Mednas. Mednas, who derives his moniker from a mixup of his given name, Mehdi Nassiri, was born in... More >>

Gaiser Electric Pickle	Fri., November 20	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
Like some buff God-looking dude, Jon Gaiser (a.k.a. Gaiser, a.k.a. Fraktion) emerged from his bedroom studio in a blaze of blue light. The genius was naked, except for a sweaty sheet wrapped about his waist, and he stroked his beard while muttering this rote quote: "My bedroom has always been a... More >>

Jesse Rose RokBar	Sun., December 6	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Let us know when you're sick of hearing the words Art Basel, because you'll be hearing it plenty until the end of the first week of December. In more Art Basel music news, British DJ Jesse Rose will be spinning at Rokbar on December 6, which happens to fall on Sunday the week of Art Basel... More >>

Gospel Sundays Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts	Sun., October 18, 4:00pm more dates/times	Miami / Central Dade	Music Religion & Spirituality Theater
Question: Why do liberal atheists, who wouldn’t walk into a Lutheran church on Sunday if you paid them, suddenly go all Christ-loving when a place such as the Knight Concert Hall hosts Gospel Sundays? Answer: It’s the music. The fact is some of the best pipes in the history of... More >>
