It’s been a punishing week for III Points. An entire year’s worth of work was almost nullified thanks to a last-minute hurricane. Luckily, Matthew turned out to be a dud, causing minimal damage to Miami-Dade County, and, especially, III Points’ home base of Wynwood. And the good news is, thanks…
While most of South Florida hunkers down with bathtubs full of clean drinking water, a few dozen warriors will be giving mother nature the middle finger with one hand while holding a stiff drink in the other. We’ve called up some of Miami’s best bars that are choosing to stay…
David Sinopoli is calm. Or, at least as calm as he can be right now. “When it comes to shit you can’t control, you have to try and remain positive,” the III Points cofounder says. This week, Sinopoli and the III Points team have been drawing up a game plan…
It’s been a while since we’ve had a hurricane in these parts of our state. And folks are understandably jumpy. South Florida has recently been added to the cone of uncertainty and Miami is now officially under a tropical storm watch, which runs from the Seven Mile Bridge in the…
As Miami prepares to welcome the fourth year of III Points this weekend, we can add another new festival to our calendar. On November 18 and 19, the first-ever House of Creatives Music Festival will touch down in North Beach. It could be the biggest lineup to ever hit the…
Last June, South Florida hip-hop made national waves when our very own Kodak Black and Denzel Curry nabbed spots on the coveted XXL 2016 “Freshman Class,” an annual round-up of the most hyped up-and-coming MCs in the world. And if you grabbed a copy of that issue, we’ll need you…
In roughly his first half a millisecond out of a three-year jail sentence for two counts of firearm possession, rapper Gucci Mane was already back to being one of the most-discussed rappers alive. Prison had only amplified the mythology of Gucci, and now he was on everyone’s radar, from his hometown streets…
Fudakochi met Nobody his first day on the job at Panther Coffee in Wynwood, some time in 2012. “Finally we got a black man working here,” Scott “Nobody” Patterson said with a smile. Patterson was a Panther regular, and a familiar face to anyone who frequented Wynwood. To Fudakochi, though, he…
Tomorrow morning, Workshop Collective will be throwing the second instillation in its Disrupt Miami discussion series. Taking place at 9 a.m. at downtown’s Langford Hotel, the panel, moderated by New Times music editor Ryan Pfeffer (AKA me), will be centered around the topic of Miami music. Sweat Records’ Lauren Reskin,…
God bless the sweet souls over at Klangbox.FM, Miami’s local internet radio station helmed by Patrick Walsh and Laura (of Miami). Since the station’s founding in 2013, the two have curated and helped produce local shows hosted by III Points, Death to the Sun’s Ricardo Guerrero, and dozens of other local DJs and…
III Points is only ten days away, and if the layers of lineup additions, a dope local compilation, and intergalactic art installations aren’t enough to get you excited, here’s another little appetizer: the set times. Your musical cheat sheets for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday have arrived, and, boy, do you have…
Yesterday, Ultra Miami took to social media to tease out the first wave of its 2017 tickets. The tickets, ranging from the basic general admission to the posh VIP option, will be available for purchase on October 4. Early bird general admission tickets (which are available only to those registered…
Yesterday, we learned that Icon Nightclub had officially shut its doors after nine months in business. But it was unclear what was to come of the iconic Washington Ave. venue which had been home to Mansion, Level — and had been owned by folks like Prince and Al Capone at…
At the end of December 2015, Icon Nightclub opened its doors. The new 30,000-square-foot, art-deco-inspired concept was taking over the Washington Avenue space once held by Mansion, which survived for 11 years before finally announcing its closure in August 2015. “We have a high bar to reach, as Mansion had…
You don’t get to see a whole lot of Kanye West during the Kanye West concert. The light above him is hazy and pallid, somewhere between brown and yellow. Sometimes he’s just a spasming shadow. Instead, the real show is below him, where his floating stage lights up the general admission…
Now entering its tenth year, Miami’s messiest concert, the “World’s Largest Paint Party” known as Life in Color, is moving to Wynwood. After starting at a house in Tallahassee, LiC has taken over the newly renamed Hard Rock Stadium for much of its existence. But for the next installment of the neon Bukkake…
2017 is about to sneak up on you like a hungry leopard, reminding you that life moves fast, and we’re all one step closer to death. But it’s not all bad news. Sure you blew pretty much all your resolutions by February, but now you’ve got a clean slate on…
Here’s something Katiana Urbina has learned in the past year: Life doesn’t care about your plans. It doesn’t give a crap about the big red X’s on your calendar or that things happen to be going swimmingly at the moment. Life is rude, and it will rear back its pimply…
In the beginning of 2016, we learned that Homestead would once again have a proper music venue. The historic Seminole Theatre was to undergo the third renovation of its 95-year lifespan. And, soon, it would host shows with both local and national acts. The Wailers, Bob Marley’s old backing band, and the…
By the time you first heard of Leon Bridges, it felt like you were the last person on Earth to have done so. The 27-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, started his career in a slingshot. After gaining some buzz on the local music scene, one of Bridges’ songs, the megahit…
Oh boy. That was a lot. Labor Day Weekend delivered more music than our poor ears could handle and now we will nap forever. Or, at least until Friday. Because then it’ll be time to do this all again. I mean, how could we miss out on a chance to…
If Drake and I were best friends I think we’d start the day off with breakfast. Not some fancy lobster eggs Benedict sort of joint (unless it was Sunday) but a regular old diner would do. I’d go with french toast and he’d stick with an omelet. We’d ask for…
