Dim Past is making plenty of counter-post-retro-anti-Albion-ecclesiastic ruckus when it comes to music in South Florida. To quote Sweat Records momentarily so you don’t think we’re putting you on: “A key player in South Florida’s presently festering Negative Rave clique, Dim Past emerges from the self-immolated ruins of extreme and purposefully disfigured rock music.”
Nihilism, a collection of natty-matted/dread hair, a circumnavigation of traditional beats that can make it somewhat familiar to the hipster crowd — if that sounds like your ideal night, Gramps (176 NW 24th St., Miami) is the place to be Saturday at 10:30 p.m. in anticipation of Dim Past’s Magnitizdat Tapes release. Coldwave, Italo disco, ’80s, and synthpunk? Why not? Admission is free. Call 786-75-BOOZE or visit grampsbar.com.
