You’ve probably already seen Nicki Minaj’s new video for “Super Bass” … In your weirdest, wettest dreams. Here’s a quickie breakdown: (1) Nicki and five clones engage in cute choreographed humping while dressed identically in pink wigs, shredded cutoffs, and candy-colored Doc Martins; (2) Ms. Minaj goes all Lizard Queen…
After getting ripped to the tits last night on makeshift margaritas, six Coronas, a half-bottle of mezcal, two flaming tequila shots, and Michoacan moonshine at El Vagabundo’s Cinco De Mayo bash, you’re hungover and fucked up like a Mexican who ate the worm, a rancid taco, and an entire bushel…
A strange and highly mutated (or some would say evolved) breed of great apes emerged approximately 200,000 years ago on the African continent. These creatures had huge brains. They were physically weak, slow, and basically hairless. And yet they strutted around the jungle like hot shit on two legs. Blessed…

For truly dedicated Deadheads, every day is a psychedelic 4/20 freakout. Smoke a bowl, drop some acid, sip a little red wine, and take a trip through the universe to a jagged purple planet and a lonely San Francisco-style tenement where six extraterrestrial rock stars are staring at a snowy…
There’s no better way to express pure joy than the art of song. So when the news broke on Sunday that Obama had killed Osama, a giddy mob of superpatriotic Americans flocked to special spots like the White House, Ground Zero, and Times Square to musically convey its overwhelming excitement…
On January 4, 2011, the ninth annual Jam Cruise got totally sunk in a sea of negative vibes when federal agents and K-9 officers from ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, the DEA, and the Broward Sheriff’s Office conducted a joint drug raid as hippies, herbal enthusiasts, and jam-band junkies boarded…
It’s been almost exactly 11 years since Billy Corgan’s infamous May 23, 2000 interview with Los Angeles alt-rock radio station KROQ. It started with a minirant against “the Britneys of the world” and concluded with the on-air announcement that Smashing Pumpkins were breaking up. But now that a decade-plus has…
Unless you’ve been holed up in a $1 million dollar compound without phone, internet, or cable service, you’ve heard the news … Osama bin Laden is dead. Yesterday, the mass-murdering founder of Al Qaeda, Most Wanted Man in the Universe, facial-hair aficionado, evil millionaire, and general asshole was shot through…
Back when Matisyahu made the trek down to Miami in February, the diehard Tribe Called Quest fan and admitted Deadhead hit up the Arsht Center for a quiet, intimate night alongside acoustic axe-wielding buddy Adam Weinberg. But Matisyahu’s newly announced 43-date US summer tour — with a stop scheduled at…
Wanna star in a faux snuff flick? Well, if you’ve been dying to die on film (or commit some kind of bloody crime in front of the camera), this might be your big break ’cause local psych-rock creeps Lil Daggers are currently seeking one girl and one guy for a…
Almost a month ago, we received word that Puerto Rican tag team Calle 13 was planning a Miami show on May 27 as part of its initial 11-city Entren los Que Quieran US tour. At the time, there was no venue. And details were sketchy. But still, we got all…
Officially, April 12 was the street date for local garage-y gang Lil Daggers’ debut full-length disc. But so far, no one’s seen an actual vinyl copy of the self-titled slab. As reported in New Times’ recent Lil Daggers mini-feature, the album was supposed to be released via Boca Raton-based label…
The Honeymoon Series begins this Saturday with Datsik, continuing with Zeds Dead May 6 and Borgore June 17. Back in the LSD-soaked ’60s, a big boxy San Francisco building named the Fillmore Auditorium was routinely overrun by love-crazed hippies, radical longhairs, speed-addled bikers, middle-aged beatniks, and endless other freaky types…
Read Crossfade’s recent manic meditation on Interpol, the rise of the internet, and the death of the music industry. For the last nine months, New York City rock crew Interpol has been touring non-stop behind its 2010 self-titled fourth album, hustling back and forth across the country, jetsetting to foreign…
If you didn’t get wasted, riot-slash-dance, lose your underpants, and do something shameful on February 17, 2011, then you weren’t partying with electro-raunch tag team Hank & Cupcakes at Bardot. Don’t ever make that mistake again. Especially next Friday when these hot pop junkies return for a rerun of February’s…
The last Friday of the month is just a little less than 34 hours away. So go put on your most blazingly bright red dress shirt and whitest tie, polish your lucky set of fichas, and suck back a half-gallon of guarapo spiked with Havana Club … It’s almost time…
See the cut to download King Bee’s Howl EP. Back in January, local blues rock crew King Bee was partway through recording its fourth album and set to hit the road for a full national tour. But then founding member and lead singer Angel Suarez suddenly quit. “Angel felt like…
