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,...

Elvis Presley perhaps wasn’t the world’s foremost expert on relationships and marriage. He was an alleged womanizer, after all, and had deep, Freudian mommy issues. (Not to mention he was also rumored to be impotent near the end of his life.)
Nevertheless, Elvis marrying couples...

If you grew up during the ’80s, you probably thought mullets were cool and owned a pair of leg warmers or Hammer pants. There’s even a chance you remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his drastic makeover. Also, Molly Ringwald probably played a big role in your life. You...

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.

It takes laser focus to distill a vision to its unadorned essence. In 2007, Julie Davidow channeled her inner alchemist to strike gold when she co-authored a coffee-table tome with photographer Paul Clemence. Their book, Miami Contemporary Artists, showcasing more than 100 South Florida artists...

On the list of hillbilly awesomeness, monster-truck rallies fall somewhere between mudding and moonshine. Nothing screams red, white, and blue louder than a giant truck crushing imported, pansy-ass compact cars inside a 75,000-seat arena.
This Saturday, head to the Advance Auto Parts Monster...

The quintessential Argentine dance, the tango, is often associated with glamorous European-style café society, with the dashing attire and protocol of a bygone era and the sensuality of moving to that unique rhythm. But in fact, tango arose out of a cauldron of cultures and sounds that...

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.

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...
