Ready to get big, bad, and brassy? Hot 8 Brass Band when the fourth monthly edition of the Crossfade music series hits The Stage on September 29. Hot 8 is a nine-man fiyah brigade that boasts tubas, trumpets, and plenty of percussion. This trip to Nola begins at 10 p.m…
We here at Crossfade love Ricky Martin because he’s a very charitable dude with a great pair of man boobs who really knows how to shake his freaking “Bon Bon.” And we aren’t ashamed to admit that we’d love, love, love to spend this Thanksgiving stuffing a 25-pound turkey with…
Classical music is totally blowing up. The kids are going berserk for ballets, symphonies, and chamber music. They’re shoplifting collectible vinyl copies of Swan Lake. And they’re blowing their allowances on “Nutcrack Me!” t-shirts. OK, so maybe we’re getting kinda carried away. But this Saturday’s New World Symphony performance of…
Hey Roxanne, you’re not gonna believe it! Our favorite 60-year-old pop star, Sting, has just announced that he’ll be extending his one-night stand at the Fillmore Miami Beach “due to overwhelming demand.” Last week, we reported on the Stingman’s Back to Bass tour, squawking about spending a few hours with…
Whenever we here at Crossfade happen to be awake at 4 a.m. on Monday morning, we slip on a pair of smashed sunglasses, flag a cab, and go grab breakfast — you know, a couple of shots and a nice cold beer — at Mac’s Club Deuce. It’s one of…
Back in the day (circa 1998), an underground rap slab hit the streets and it was called Mos Def & Talib Kweli Are Black Star. The duo behind this record — Black Star, consisting obviously enough of Brooklyn MCs Mos Def and Talib Kweli — took its core concepts (and…
Any sophisticated hipster worth his or her vintage Gibson Les Paul SG and Wusthof Super Slicer will be equally dedicated to the twin pleasures of tuneage and food. Each and every day, he or she will spend an absolutely identical amount of time practicing Count Five’s “Psychotic Reaction” as perfecting…
When Rivers Cuomo announced the inaugural Weezer Cruise a few months ago, the emo-pop pioneer provided sensitive, sea-faring rock fans with a pretty comprehensive passenger list. Admittedly, though, he sorta skimped on the details. But today, Rivers and the rest of the Weezer crew are back with a second wave…
Yes, we here at Crossfade are bona fide music journalists. But we also happen to be fully licensed sexperts. And as our esteemed colleague Trey Songz would undoubtedly agree, the key to a hearty and healthy life of carnal pleasure is correcting those creepy facial expressions that unconsciously flash across…
Listen up, heads. It’s time to slip into those spacesuits, pack a NASA lunch, and trip beatifically across the cosmos. Right now, Cee Know the Doodlebug of legendary intergalactic rap crew Digable Planets is hurtling toward Miami aboard his own personal flying saucer for an exclusive, zero-gravity album release getdown…
Marc Anthony at American Airlines Arena September 16
Earlier today in a swanky ballroom at the Avalon Hollywood, the Latin Recording Academy announced its nominations for the 12th annual Latin Grammy Awards. Puerto Rican rap duo Calle 13 led the field with ten nods while Venezuelan singer Franco De Vita scored five, Mexican cantautor Marco Antonio Solis nabbed…
As the Magic City’s Diamond Princess makes perfectly clear on her new-ish pretty-girl party track, “Red Bottoms (Long Heels),” she’s the boss. And you ain’t. “These niggas gonna love what I’m dressed in/dressed up and looking so sexy,” she raps. “Six inches, red bottoms, long heels, I got them/When I…
Miami loves boob jobs. And honestly, if we here at Crossfade had our way, each and every Dade County resident — men, women, and all those in between — would own their own perfectly shaped pair of C-cup (or larger) implants. Just imagine what a wonderful world it would be…
Hey Roxanne, wanna spend a few hours with Sting, getting stripped down and raw? And no, unfortunately, we’re not talking about running a bath, lighting a circle of fertility candles, and prepping for a private exhibition of the former Police frontman’s mastery of tantric pleasure principles. We’re referring to nothing…
There have been good times, plenty of booze, and a few flashes of craziness. Back in June, we kicked off Crossfade Presents The Local at The Stage with a wild punk rager soundtracked by Furious Dudes, Bulletproof Tiger, and Secret Arms. Next, we took a midsummer trip to the country,…
Just 144 days after Lil Wayne wrapped up his eight-month stay on Rikers Island, bounced out the clink, and fled back to his Miami Beach mansion, the taxman came calling with an enormous bill from Uncle Sam. As reported by Riptide (via Detroit News) in April, the Young Money Maniac…
As reported a few minutes ago by Crossfade’s sister blog County Grind, bespectacled intellectual Elvis Costello has just delayed his current worldwide trek, cheekily named The Spectacular Songbook Tour, and postponed six shows including his September 18 stop at Hard Rock Live. In a postponement announcement on elviscostello.com, the musician’s…
