ADULT. is coming to Miami! And what better week to visit the Magic City than during Art Basel? We told you that Basel has the habit of attracting plenty of musical acts to the city during the week its here, and ADULT. is definitely a rare treat. The duo was booked by the semi-defunct Spiderpussy party for Friday, December 5, shindig at White Room along with Orlando experimental band Yip-Yip.

ADULT. consists Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus who rose to prominence back in the early part of the decade when electroclash was popular. Tracks like "Glue Your Eyelids Together," "Hand to Phone," and "Nite Life" still have a home on the dancefloor to this day. Last year the duo released their fourth album Why Bother?, expanding on their previous effort Gimme Trouble, which introduced a more varied sound along with techno and punk influences.

After the jump, check out one of my favorite ADULT. tracks "Nite Life."

ADULT. with Yip-Yip at White Room Friday, December 5. 18+; tickets $10; doors open at 10 p.m.
