Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Puerto Rican junk pop sensations Davila 666 are making a pit stop at Miami venue Churchill’s Pub next week. They craft beautiful songs that echo some of the middle of last century’s best American output. This is some of the best stuff to come out of the U.S. in the last little bit and the first stuff from P.R. that I have listened to since La Experiencia. A lot of it is in Spanish, so I have a very limited understanding of the material content of the lyrics, but I can vouch for the hummability and the sweetness of the nah-nah-nah’s. There won’t generally be a language barrier for the rest of the crowd, though, since this is Miami after all. Otherwise, the bill is pretty perfect and reflects Miami’s little scene with our standouts the Jacuzzi Boys, Electric Bunnies, and Lil Daggers holding down the fort.
