Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons Hard Rock Live	Tue., February 9, 8:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has always seemed a bit like the Jersey Shore. With tough guys playing poker, middle-aged divorcées plugging away at the slots, and chongas standing in for guidettes, it's the subtropical version of Atlantic City. So Frankie Valli and the Four... More >>

New Found Glory Revolution Live	Tue., February 9, 6:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music Nightlife
New Found Glory's 2000 self-titled second album catapulted the Coral Springs quartet into bona fide national stardom.

Kelis LIV	Wed., February 10, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Remember when her milkshakes brought all the boys to the yard? When she reminded you she was the first girl to scream on a track?

Piano Man The Crescendos Piano Bar	Every week Wednesday, 8:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
When hip-hop thugs G-Unit rap, "I move the keys, they call me the piano man," they're talking about transporting loads of happy powder, but when scene king Edison Farrow puts on a party called Piano Man, he's talking real keys, like the black-and-white ones at Crescendos Piano Bar. Each... More >>

Artopia Freedom Tower	Thu., February 11, 7:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Art Music Parties & Receptions Promotional Events
Costumed, gyrating girls; acrobatic stilt dancing; a dizzying orbit of live music and performance art.

International Noise Conference, Day 1 Churchill's	Thu., February 11, 9:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife

Honestly, potential INC... More >>

Jack Daniel's Studio No. 7 Tour: Locos por Juana Transit Lounge	Thu., February 11, 11:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music
Ah, the Jack Daniel's Studio! A magical place where celluloid dreams of drunken debauchery are filmed and brought to life for the big screen. Not quite. Nor is it the kind of studio where those oh-so-inviting photos of the iconic square bottles of rye-based amber hooch are shot and airbrushed.... More >>

Alukard The Vagabond	Thu., February 11, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
After a seemingly endless heyday, rap-rock eventually became one of the most reviled musical artifacts of the end of the last millennium. But it's been more than a decade since then.

Keith Sweat James L. Knight Center	Fri., February 12, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife Valentine's Day
For peeps of a certain age, the memory of middle school makeout parties in dimly lit basements will be forever soundtracked to the sweet and sticky slow jams of Mr. Keith Sweat.

DJ A-Train Sunset Lounge	Every week Friday, 9:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
DJ A-Train's name alone will tell you where this cat's coming from.

And like the... More >>

Misfit Fridays Louis Bar-Lounge	Every week Friday, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife

Ladytron's Mira Aroyo Electric Pickle	Sat., February 13, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife

Edwin Adams The News Lounge	Every week Saturday, 9:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife

Benton Galgay Electric Pickle	Every week Saturday, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
Benton Galgay plays records, but he has his own ideas about what it means to be a DJ. First, aside from Wooden Shjips, there are very few new artists he's into spinning.

DJ Jenni Foxx Buck15	Every week Saturday, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music
Hurricane Wilma was devastating for a lot of folks, but not for Jenni Foxx. On that 2005 day after the storm hit, she happened to have a scheduled DJ audition at the Clevelander.

Noches de Fábrika La Covacha	Every week Saturday, 10:00pm	West Dade / Hialeah	Music
It's late Saturday night. A club is raftered with Colombians, Venezuelans, Argentines, and Bolivians. There are Cubans too, primarily born in Florida. And there's also 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... More >>

Big Poppa E Tryst	Every week Sunday, 5:00pm	South Palm	Music

Exposure With Johnny Strokes White Room	Every week Monday, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
Exposure is about the maddest indie-sex-sleaze-glam blowout in town. It's furiously fast, uproariously frenzied, and belovedly out of control.
