Last year, we declared local singer/songwriter Rachel Goodrich “You’re New Favorite Singer,” then New York Times featured her prominently in a story about Miami’s emerging music scene. And now the Miami Herald reports that Goodrich will be going in the studio in July with L.A. songwriter and producer Greg Wells…
To say Miami via Puerto Rico DJ Tamara Sky is gorgeous is sort of an understatement. I’ve been at plenty of parties around the city where she’s been like two feet away from me but never had the nerve to introduce myself. One day, when I finally did introduce myself,…
We’ve just realized hurricane season is around the corner. We just hope this is another quiet year, because we aren’t sure with the state of the economy how quickly the city can bounce back.While we stock up on batteries and canned food, here is what you missed over the weekend:Coldplay…
Freelance photographer Ian Witlen was shooting for us at the Crystal Method show at Revolution last night when he spotted what he says was Joaquin Phoenix in the crowd. From the photo it looks like a unshaven guy in a top hat, so we aren’t 100 percent convinced its him…
What happens why you forget a good friend’s birthday? Well, you perhaps try to avoid that person for a while until you can figure out how to make it up to them and then give them a kick-ass party insisting this was the plan all along. So perhaps this is…
We reported back in February that the creators of crobar were opening a new Fort Lauderdale club called Exit 66. Well if you are burning with anticipation, the wait is over as the nightclub finally opens this weekend. The place is described as “the newest nightlife playground to hit the…
Miami’s indie and alternative nightlife scene is arguably controlled by only a handful of promoters. While some people are perfectly content letting those promoters continue as the hegemony, others are taking their discontent and using it to give the city a truly new alternative. “People used to party so hard…
We reported back in February that the creators of crobar were opening a new Fort Lauderdale club called Exit 66 (219 S Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd., Fort Lauderdale, 954-357-9981). Well if you are burning with anticipation, the wait is over as the nightclub finally opens this weekend. The place is…
Exxxotica has left us with many things, including plenty of porn for the next few months weeks days, a slideshow and something probably only antibiotics can take care of. But before we close out the chapter on this year’s porn convention, videographer Jacob Katel gives us a glimpse of the…
For the most part, we’ve made our choices for this year’s Best of Miami. Who won? Ha! You’ll have to wait until June 11 to find out, but in the meantime, our Readers’ Poll is open and awaiting your picks.Can’t say we remember the last time readers and the editorial staff…
Just when I thought the hipster-hop genre was dead, in comes up-and-coming Brooklyn MC Theophilus London to save the day. London has been on the cusp of breaking it big for that last year or so and has received plenty of accolades from publications likes The Fader and Urb, which…
If you stayed home this weekend, it was either because the unbearable heat kept you indoors or because you actually tried to behave yourself on Mother’s Day. Skin and sin was aplenty this weekend (er, well more than normal), so here is what you missed:Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction…
Talk about a T&A weekend! Exxxotica is in town and so is Aqua Girl, making this a great weekend to see plenty of lovely ladies around the beach. So get ready, because here is what you might want to check out this weekend:For seven days, 120 cars have travel 3,000…
If you haven’t checked out, take a glimpse at the photo excerpts from the book Miami Graffiti by James and Karla Murray. In it the pair documents Miami’s street art scene gorgeously and in vivid colors. Last night, Buck 15 celebrated the book release by inviting local b-boys and graffiti…
A little lesson in recessionomics: Why pay $250 for a bottle of Absolut at a South Beach nightclub when you can pay $27 at your corner liquor store? Miami’s bottle service business model has gotten way out of hand, but it seems only with the recent financial turmoil that we’ve…
For more than a year, LMFAO (SMS shorthand for “laugh my fucking ass off”) has been bastardizing the hipster-hop genre with its single “I’m in Miami, Bitch!” off its 2008 Party Rock EP. At one point, acts such as Kid Sister, Spank Rock, Amanda Black, and the Cool Kids seemed…
Miami rarely ever gets the honor of hosting rare, once-in-a-lifetime events. But next week, if you’re smart, you’ll be at White Room, Wednesday, May 13, to catch illusive Detroit techno outfit Dopplereffekt, who will be performing live as part of the Scion House Party event. Very little is known about…
Casual Sax duo Induce and Sven Barth are back with a new video for “Klaus’ Disco Train,” which is sung by their German alter egos Klaus (Barth) and Ulrich (Induce). The video basically consist of a bunch of clip during Winter Music Conference that show the “German” duo crashing multiple…

Their temporary relocation starts tomorrow and goes through Thursday.Unfortunately (or fortunately, for some), tickets are long…
A few months ago, New Times editor Chuck Strouse admired Buk Fifty’s work above I-95. However, some people didn’t think it wasn’t as cool as Strouse made it out to seem. Personally, I take more a middle-of-the-road approach. Though defacing signs on I-95 ends up costing the taxpayers money to…
While it might not have the clout of other local musical festivals like Ultra or the temporarily (we hope) defunct Langerado, SunFest still keeps attracting South Floridians looking for a more family friendly event. That’s not to say SunFest doesn’t have an edge. In fact, this year it seems festival…
What’s going on here? We know your standard quince is about a young girl turning into a woman, but we don’t think it suppose to be this literal. Anywho, last night our cameras captured the youthful nostalgia of a ritual only those from Miami (or other Latin American countries) can…
