Miami's Best Music Acts and Nightlife Venues, From Get Face to Oscar G, E11even, and Treehouse Miami

Miami's best electronic act? Get Face, a 25-year-old kid from Tampa. The city's top dance club? Treehouse Miami. The finest band? Viniloversus, Venezuelan musicians who had "built a sizable following in their native South American nation and were already Latin Grammy winners by the time economic and political turmoil forced them to emigrate to the United States."
