The annual Lip Sync Party is moving up a notch from the Coliseum to Club VooDoo in downtown Ft. Lauderdale this Friday. It’s a super fun drag show that benefits the Wings Foundation, which helps out American Airlines flight attendants in need. It’s an over the top type of show:…
The Ataris are coming back to South Florida courtesy of Grizz and the kids in Alukard, who are bringing them to the Sandbar of all places, down in dirty Kendall on Memorial Day weekend. These guys, who are basically Kris Roe plus whoever he has with him, have and been…
305Fest is happening this week at the Firefly, maybe some stuff at Goo and maybe one other place which I can’t figure out yet. It seems like it costs 25 bucks for three days of at least 45 bands with a really incredible amount of variety in music from grind…
@page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –> What better way to spend a sweet sweet Sunday afternoon Mother’s Day than with a concert by the super super sweet Raffa and Rainer over at the tiny little joint, Shiso, around the corner from ye…
Patrick Walsh aka DJPJ who has been making waves at the News Lounge at Nightdrive and occasionally at Psychic Tuesdays over at Bella Rose is making a DJ appearance at Artwalk’s Awarehouse this Saturday, May 9. You can expect an eclectic and varied set with plenty of rare grooves and…
So Alain Maximilien, a.k.a. the Haitian Hillbilly, is throwing down what he refers to as “an extended version of a soundtrack to a Quentin Tarantino movie” tonight, and hopefully every Monday forthcoming, at SoBe’s Buck 15. As usual there is no cover at the cozy bar located on top of…
Sloane Peterson offers the kind of pop-punk that sticks in the back of your head and makes you hum along. At its best, you’ll be singing along by the end of a song — the first time you hear it. This Miami-based act features players from much heavier projects, such…
Somehow Afrobeta doesn’t have a proper record out. Even though the dynamic pop duo slays the crowds, plays international gigs and gets featured on acts like Calle 13’s tracks, they don’t have a proper album. So they did what any self respecting street DJ would do — they put out…
The crusty grindy HC 305 Death Squad are hitting the road for the second time in their lives. After a couple of years of toiling in the swampy trenches of South Florida, these guys are getting off to their second tour in less than a year. Big ups to them…

Miami-Dade County brought us Bass as a genre. Shade and J-Nasty have not forgotten that bit of information. Collectively known as Autonomous Bass Heads (ABH), the duo has been rocking parties, big and small, mostly on the south side of town for some time now. Sometimes they throw their own…
Stay Hitt is one of those Miami bands that is destined to go down as one of the best, catchiest punk ‘n’ roll outfits that Dade County has ever produced. Unfortunately, they are also apparently destined to never actually produce a record or ever leave the state of Florida, or…
Awesome New Republic’s new album is up for free on their website. It is really good. Check out this Miami pop band’s latest emission, Rational Geographic Volume I. They are infectious, often-talked about and very fun live. Of course, you probably already know this, because this rag always writes about…
Maybe you don’t like loud ass rock and roll played with abandon and actual feeling. Or maybe you just really really love paying nine dollars for a beer. It could be that you like paying a big – ass cover charge to get into a place where everyone looks at…
Somehow I missed the flier for this show, even though I was in Broward last Friday. Southern Flaw is one of my favourite versions of South Florida music and they are playing tonight at the Bar-Tv building in Ft. Lauderdale with a bunch of other bad ass bands. The show…
The Hukilau seems to be stepping up it’s game this year with at least one of this writer’s favourite surf instrumental bands, Los Straightjackets. Aside from their musicality and deft picking, the band is also noted for it’s decision to don mascaras de lucha libre whilst wearing business attire. The…
Dino Felipe is one of those Miami guys who has a nice little national rep for himself. People who are in the know about underground currents of off-kilter sounds know what’s up. This is wrong. This shouldn’t be the case. In a just universe he would be touring the world,…
Fridays at the Vagabond consistently book national acts that are on the edge of mass consciousness or just above the radar, and this Friday, L.A.’s Gliss continues in that vein. The three-piece has moved past the hype of being Billy Corgan’s favorite band and is simply existing as a legitimate…
The Miami grindcore soldiers of Maruta are heading out again for a Midwest/East Coast adventure, up to Chicago and back down the seaboard. Tour dates are on the band’s Myspace. In order to get set and make some last minute gas money they are doing a little show over at…
The Fridays at the Vagabond crew consistently books national acts that are on the edge of mass consciousness or just below the radar, and, this Friday’s show by the Los Angeles band Gliss continues in that vein. The trio has moved past being the hype of being Billy Corgan’s favorite…
How are things in Glocca Morra, you ask? Well, they’re just swell, if you’re talking about the new local band that features drummer Arik Dayan, formerly of Lasso the Moon, Baby Calendar, and most recently Call It Radar. Zack Schwartz, a young and spunky guitar player and vocalist, joins him…
