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 :
Sat., February 11, 9:00pm

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.

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...

They say Miami is a melting pot of cultures, but then those same people say Miami has no culture. Who are they anyway? Obviously, they've never been to the Biltmore, which has an embarrassment of history and culture under one lofty roof. For starters, the Biltmore is a melting pot itself. Once...

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...

That's the stew. It could be La Paz; it could be...
