The 97th Anniversary Party, Day 2 Tobacco Road	Sat., November 21, 6:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
Getting old sucks. I mean seriously.

Arboles Libres Sweat Records	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
This past February, as a trifle, two buddies got together to jam through free-form guitar exercises while smoking a bowl for the good of mankind.

Jackson Browne The Fillmore Miami Beach	Sat., November 21, 8:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
As both the precocious bard and poet laureate of the Laurel Canyon elite, Jackson Browne created a late-'60s/early-'70s repertoire that found him standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other notables of the day. Alongside peers such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Crosby, Stills, Nash &... More >>

Septeto Nacional Hoy Como Ayer	Sat., November 21, 10:30pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
If time between shows is any indication, you may have to wait another 76 years to catch Cuba's legendary Septeto Nacional on yanqui shores again.

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.

Porn to Be A Star Dream	Every week Tuesday, 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 >>

Megadeth Revolution Live	Wed., November 25, 6:00pm	Fort Lauderdale	Music Nightlife
One of the most tragicomic moments in the 2004 Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster features not the band but rather Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine. In a touchy-feely on-camera counseling session, Mustaine reveals some major inferiority issues with Metallica's drummer, Lars Ulrich. He... More >>

Joe Arroyo The Fillmore Miami Beach	Wed., November 25, 8:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Ask any salsa lover worth his salt (or white powder of more dubious origin) which is the hardest hitting, most hip swinging salsa track of all time and a heated debate is likely to ensue. But you can bet your ass that Joe Arroyo's "Rebelion" would be in the mix. The lyric may seem racy in these... More >>

Dynamix II Respectable Street	Wed., November 25, 9:00pm	Central Palm	Music Nightlife
If you weren't skulking around dirty South Florida clubs in the '90s and early '00s, you probably don't know about the duo sometimes referred to as Miami's electro-bass overlords.

Steve Aoki Mansion	Wed., November 25, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Why does aging Cali club kid Steve Aoki always seem to be everywhere all the time? He's like some kind of superhuman funhouse mirror, multiplying his slick indie-slouch image a million and one times throughout the mediated universe. It's kinda creepy ... Wherever I look (music mags, dark... More >>

Happy Hour and Jazz Night Club 50	Every week Wednesday, 6:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Food & Drink Nightlife
Caddyshack golf legend Ty Webb never kept score, so when Judge Smails asked him how he measured himself against other golfers, the six-foot-four Webb replied, "My height."

ArtOfficial Jazid	Fri., November 27, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
Ladies, if you’re on the market for fun, men, and party music, and there’s even a sliver of a shard of a chance that this as-yet-hypothetical hookup could develop into full-blown domestic bliss with babies and a refrigerator, listen up. First, a few prerequisites: (1) He’s gotta... More >>

Quality Control 1020 Music Boxx	Sat., November 28, 10:00pm	South Beach	Music Nightlife
No matter how well known and lusted over the South Beach club scene is, if you’re a local, it can still feel a tad overrated, even sometimes predictable. We become so used to openings, debuts, and special events that we get a bit jaded. Yet there’s always a chance the new place will... More >>

Little Louie Vega The Vagabond	Sat., November 28, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife

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 >>

The Golden Filter Electric Pickle	Sat., December 5, 10:00pm	Miami / Central Dade	Music Nightlife
The Golden Filter's take on late-'70s downtown glitz has taken Manhattan's club scene (and the blogosphere) by storm. Consisting of record producer Stephen and vocalist Penelope, the duo is notable for its chilly arpeggios, pulsating beats, and plush vocals — as well as their elusive... More >>
