Days before Merchandise’s debut performance at Gramps, and weeks before the release of the band’s new album, A Corpse Wired for Sound, we got the chance to talk to lead singer Carson Cox about the state of his buzz-worthy little Florida band. Merchandise, originally from Tampa, has been touring the…
The words “Design District” and “free” go together about as often as “Kanye West” and “humble.” It’s not exactly an area of Miami known for its live music, either. So, you can imagine our surprise when we found out about this weekend’s upcoming Day Into Night celebration happening in Miami’s swankiest district…
As we mentioned on Monday, the range of music happening this weekend in Miami is, to say the least, overwhelming. It’s a good week to be a music fan in the 305. But it’s a really good week to be a rock fan in Miami. That’s because Miami’s historic Little Haiti punk…
If you feel like deviating from the usual suspects in Wynwood or Downtown this weekend, Sidebar is your best bet for some (free) live music. The bar’s weekly Cherry Pop Saturdays with resident DJ Rob Riggs will offer a glimpse at one of Miami’s newest bands. Cloud Solo, a fresh…
The Degeneration party series is back this Saturday, August 20, at the bar at 1306, and this time it comes with a pretty sweet deal. Local promoters Stephany Torres and Lauren Palma are saying goodbye to the very cruel and sticky Miami summer with a series of dance parties bumping everything…
There aren’t many Miami bands that reach the decade mark. Luckily for all of us, Modernage is one of them. The rock outlet formed by guitarist Xavier Vazquez, guitarist/keyboardist Garcia Freundt, bassist Izzy Silva, and drummer Alex de Renzis have been composing tracks together since 2005. Many locals over the…
This weekend, fight the Zika paranoia in Wynwood and head to the Electric Pickle to see the Brooklyn-based No Regular Play live this Saturday. Unless, well, you’re pregnant or trying to get pregnant. If that’s the case, sorry, but Wynwood for you. But for the rest of us non-fertile, healthy folks,…
Psychedelic rock is the perfect soundtrack for your hot Miami summer night, with its enchanting melodies blending in with your own heat-induced hallucinations. And this Saturday you will have the chance to enjoy not only one but three South Florida psych and garage bands at Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern (more commonly…
Drinking, dancing, and roller skating? Sure, it’s maybe not the safest idea, but a lineup like this is worth a few bruises. Miami has always had a passion for strapping on the skates and many natives have colorful memories of nights of debauchery and roller disco. And this Saturday, all…
Let’s face it, although we love to complain about the sticky Miami summer there’s one thing that helps us overcome the pain: pool parties. And alcohol. Fine, two things. And if you haven’t experienced the Confidante’s weekly pool party, Frankie Says, then now is you chance. Hosted by Wynwood’s Electric…
Sunday might be the most important day of the weekend. How you spend it will set the tone for the rest of your week. And what better way to use your last day of freedom than enjoying some live music in the heart of Little Havana at Ball & Chain’s new…
Miami Swim Week is here, and if you’d like to grab some quick cardio somewhere slightly more exciting than LA Fitness, you can head to the intimate South Beach club, Rec Room, this Saturday. Up-and-coming Fool’s Gold artist Speakerfoxxx (and one half of Bosco and Speakerfoxxx) will be playing a…
Men have had it pretty good for the last, oh, few thousand years. Ruling the world, waging war, oppressing anyone weaker and penis-less — it must have been tiring work. Well, good news, men. You can take a break. Your time at the top of everything from the corporate world…
Close your eyes and imagine a Miami Vice remake, but instead of Don Johnson, a young Giorgio Moroder wears the neon suit. He walks into a bar in Wynwood and orders a drink with a little yellow umbrella. He sees a curvy blonde eying him as a band tears it up in…
This year, one of Miami’s best (and most free) 4th of July celebrations comes a day earlier. This Saturday, you will be able to enjoy some good ol’ barbecue and local beer from Concrete Beach, all smothered in the rich musical sauce of Zach Deputy. Hailing from Savannah, Georgia, Zach…
The world is fueled by contradictions. And one such contradiction is that the bright and sunny city of Miami is home to some extremely good dark and grimy music. It’s no secret that Florida witnessed the birth of many metal bands like Death, Obituary, and Morbid Angel just to name…
It’s been a long week. And if you just don’t have it in you tonight to Uber over to LIV, we’ve got a significantly more laidback (and free) option. This week, the monthly series Jazz at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami presents Lanzallamas Monofonica, a Miami-based…

Want to party on a budget during Memorial Day Weekend? Want to also party as far as possible from Miami Beach? Well, you’re in luck. The Miami-based collective Mean Pugging and the cassette label Ear Problems are hosting Miami Paradise, a party where you can listen to great local talent…
Maybe you’ve seen Virgo perform live before, an otherworldly figure dressed in white or silver. Sometimes she looks like she’s just floating up there onstage, as if gravity doesn’t affect her. Elizabeth Ann Clark, the mastermind behind Virgo’s multimedia persona, is originally from California. After moving to Miami a couple years…
This weekend, you can soak up good music and plenty of debauchery with some of Miami’s most bizarre and colorful characters. And the best part: no admission fee or cover necessary. Hosted by the one and only Notorious Nastie at Kill Your Idol, tonight’s Bermuda Beach show will feature performances…
