These days, former Goodie Mob member Cee-Lo Green is the Liberace of hip-pop. He wears sequined jumpsuits with effortless flair. He can’t be without his baby grand for more than 24 hours. And he totally loves South Beach. But while the King of Bling (as Wladziu Valentino Liberace was nicknamed)…
On October 6, booty bass boss, First Amendment enthusiast, and weekly New Times columnist Luther Campbell (AKA Uncle Luke) issued an ultimatum to Weezy’s YMCMB crew and other “freeloading” rappers like them. “I have a message for Lil Wayne, his Cash Money brothers, DJ Khaled, Puff Daddy, and all the…
For the past 356 days, the Design District’s most devoted boozers and fanatical music lovers have been regularly letting loose at a classy NE 38th Street joint called The Stage, draining goblets of Chivas at the bar, sleeping on the sofas in the parking-lot lounge, and drunkenly two-stepping on the…
UPDATE Au Revoir Simone’s Miami show has now been moved to Grand Central. And it’s free! Even as Crossfade continues to closely monitor Art Basel Miami Beach music and party news, we’re already looking beyond the early-December art extravaganza, working our sources and scouring the interweb for the scoop on…
Whoa! Have you ever noticed how much Jacuzzi Boys singer-slash-guitarist Gabriel Alcala resembles a set of female genitals with googly eyes and long hair? Well, neither had Crossfade until we watched a new vid for “Glazin’,” the totally rad title track off the Boys’ recently released sophomore slab. Produced by…
When the Electrik Circus pitched its tent at Grand Central in June, the place was packed with cotton candy, crytozoological balloon animals, and sad, sexy twin nymphs. This time, though, it was Halloween weekend and the Circus was freaking haunted. Sure, there was still plenty of partial nudity. But you…
It is finally time to Check Yo Ponytail. For the last 11 days, Iheartcomix’s Franki Chan, Media Contender’s Danny Johnson, and Zane Landreth have been streaking across the country — L.A. to San Fran, San Diego, Denver, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and NYC — with Spank Rock, Big Freedia, and Pictureplane…
Back when you were just a seven-year-old sugar junkie, Halloween was a pretty simple gig. It was all about dressin’ up like a murderer, hittin’ the streets after dark, and gettin’ that candy. But then you got too old to Trick or Treat. And that’s the moment when All Hallows’…
Yesterday, Crossfade squealed, “We hate you, Odd Future.” And we meant it. In fact, we loathe Tyler and crew with the face-melting intensity of a meth lab explosion. And that’s why we bought six sale copies of Goblin, snatched up a shitload of official Odd Future tour merchandise (sticker set,…
If you or I were gonna hit the beach, we’d probably just pull on a pair of board shorts or a bikini, slather on some sunscreen, and go swimming. But we’re not rich, sexy, and blessed with entirely all-natural assets like singer, model, and Pitbull protegee Nayer. So when this…
TV on the Radio With Sorne Fillmore Miami Beach Tuesday, October 25, 2011 Better Than: Being blinded by Nine Types of Light. On the one hand, this past year’s been a really tough one for arty Brooklyn indie band TV on the Radio. In June, the quintet became a quartet…
As if his birth name wasn’t whimsical enough, dreamy dance-pop producer Orlando Higginbottom would really prefer that you call him by the adorably twee title, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. The son of an Oxford University music professor, this skinny, rosy-cheeked Englishman’s artistic sensibility is wide-ranging and quite eclectic, touching upon…
It’s been a pretty good week for all those downtown cool kids who’ve spent the last four months stone sober and cloaked in black, mourning the death of Bar, the OHWOW-owned hipster hangout that closed in July. Over the weekend, a group of Bar’s ex-employees opened a new party spot…
Over the summer, Bar shuttered its doors. And ever since, Miami has desperately needed a new no-bullshit party place. So thankfully, a gang of expats from the old 28 NE 14th Street spot banded together to launch Mamushka’s on the fringes of Wynwood. The joint held its grand opening over…
When Brooklyn’s TV on the Radio revealed plans to surf all the way to South Beach upon Nine Types of Light, we warned all you weak-eyed, sensitive-eared indie kids about arriving unprepared. Next Tuesday’s TVOTR blast at the Fillmore Miami Beach will be blindingly brilliant. So if you haven’t picked…
One year, four days, and 14 hours ago, Roofless Records label boss and frequent New Times contributor Matt Preira bumrushed the Little River Yacht Club with 15 gloriously noisy bands for 15 minutes of awesome sonic chaos. From 10:45 and 11:01 p.m. on the evening of Saturday, October 16, 2010,…
Who wants free tix to Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, and Prince Royce too? Enter by 4 p.m. today. After getting drunk, stoned, and knocked upside the head by Enrique Iglesias’s Euphoria Tour at the American Airlines Arena tomorrow, you’re gonna be way too hyped and horny to just call it a…
Calling all creepy motherfuckers! Slather your bad selves in fake blood, slip into your best pimp, ho, or Count Blacula costume, and hustle down to Night of a Thousand Freaks, a special Halloween edition of Club Sandals’ monthly Thick Thursdays throwdown. Usually, this lil’ get-together is “a 100% plus size…
If you wanna get technical about it, Euphoria is a totally transcendent state of extreme elation, ecstasy, and joy. It’s sorta like having a hot bucket of positive energy poured over your head. And typically, it’s caused by stuff like orgasm, hard drugs, or serious head injury. But this Saturday…
Quick, hit the fucking techno siren! Alert, alert, alert … If all you beat freaks were planning to “GET WHET” aboard the Groove Cruise next January, there’s no time to waste ’cause Crossfade has just received word that the world’s largest floating dance music festival is 96-percent occupied! There are…
