Holy nostalgia, it’s 1991 all over again! Pearl Jam’s de facto captain, legendary singer-songwriter, and uke-man extraordinaire Eddie Vedder is bringing his one-man show to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, May 13. Announced earlier today, the grunge rock godfather’s solo tour is in support of Ukulele…
If Tiësto is the Led Zeppelin of Electronic Dance Music, a title bestowed upon the Dutch DJ by 1,400 beat freaks who took our recent poll, what does that make Steve Angello? He’s one-third of EDM royal family Swedish House Mafia, the only crew powerful enough attempt an Ultra upstaging…
Are you “captivated by the real-life drama of the Costa Concordia disaster?” Well, brace yourself for springtime, when Discovery Channel’s diving head first into the Mediterranean with a documentary. The Hollywood Reporter says that the special will “dissect the devastating disaster that wreaked havoc on a luxury cruise ship off…
Tiësto? Ha, more like “Tiësticle,” as Ashley Swanson put it. It was a seemingly collective tone among outraged Crossfade readers who took to New Times’ official Facebook page and voiced their adamant displeasure with our poll. We asked, “Is Tiësto the Led Zeppelin of Electronic Dance Music?” Within minutes, comments…
The results are in; Tiësto is the Led Zeppelin of electronic dance music. According to EDM fans, that is. An overwhelming majority of beat freaks responded to yesterday’s poll, over 68 percent of whom sided with The Joint Hard Rock’s William Conn and agreed that the Dutch DJ is to…
Oh hello, payday. We’ve been waiting for you all week, itching to burn through two-weeks worth of employer compensation on relevant arts and culture events, dance parties and all the other fun shit Miami has to offer. From communal, cultural celebrations in Little Haiti to Jewish girls gone wild in…
Whoa, this week totally flew by. Granted, it was a four-day workweek. But shit, where’d the time go? It seems like only yesterday we were bashing Nickelback, pushing Armand Van Helden’s January 27 gig at Arkadia and getting down with Travis Barker’s pee-pee. But that’s old news. It’s Friday, you’ve…
Let’s get high with a hobo. Grand Central Park’s having its proverbial cherry popped tomorrow night with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and inaugural concert by bilingual alt-electro group Elastic Bond. The five-acre, multi-use recreation space was designed to generate a pedestrian-friendly environment in Overtown. But when the Bond hits the stage…
Bold beats and even bolder statements — that’s the product of Tiësto’s new web series, In the Booth. From his arena shows to outdoor festivals, college tour and beyond, the online, HP-backed and Intel-sponsored reality mini-series is yet another example of how EDM has gone mainstream. In the Booth premiered…
You’re not going to spend your Saturday night watching South Carolina Republican Primary results on CNN, right? Of course not, the Grand Old Party’s an elephant-sized waste of time and Calvin Harris is playing LIV. Peel yourself off grandma’s plastic-covered sofa, take some ecstasy, and get your ass to la…
First kiss? Jewish girl. First cigarette? Jewish girl. First bong rip? Jewish girl. Seemingly every “bad” thing we did as a kid was in cahoots with a Jewish gal named Sarah we’d met in third grade. She was a real badass, the first girl in our school to develop boobs…
Contemporary metal, R&B, and country have all done it: blending old and new music via symphonic rearrangements and backings. S&M, Metallica’s 1999 live album with the San Francisco Symphony, went platinum five times. John Legend teamed up with the KIPP Academy Orchestra a few years ago at the Teach for…

Pop-up shops are all the rage, but what about a pop-up park? On Friday, January 20, Omni Parkwest Redevelopment Association Inc. will formally unveil Grand Central Park, a five-acre, multi-use recreation space designed to generate a pedestrian-friendly environment in Overtown Miami, the city’s first Instant Park. “We took a piece…
Admittedly, we were nervous about Jacuzzi Boys’ upcoming European tour. But we quickly changed our tone when Hardly Art assured us it’d be a land-based trek. Phew, what a relief. European tours can be a real bummer. Shitty guides recklessly leading you into dangerously shallow waters, shoddy safety regulations …..
Milking the CBS cash cow since 2000, the 24th installment of Survivor premieres in less than a month. Earlier today, the network unveiled the show’s 18 contestants — nine women, nine men — who’ll be vying for a million-dollar grand prize. Among them is a dude who survived “a brief…
Despite being a total dickhead in 2011, Armand Van Helden’s a pretty cool dude. When he and Duck Sauce cohort A-Trak teamed up for the “Big Bad Wolf” video last year, Van Helden’s face was CGI-ed onto some dude’s exposed groin. Thus, via movie magic, the Boston-born DJ became a…
The “N” word … Nickelback. Just writing it makes us want to vomit. While many of you can’t stomach Chad Kroeger’s crappy alt-rock crew either, Crossfade’s recent petition to stop Nickelback from playing the BankAtlantic Center on May 5 has triggered a vicious comment war. Nickelback supporters have derided us…
The Sundance Film Festival is ’round the corner. In less than a week, thousands of movie industry folks will turn Park City, Utah, into an indie flick auction house, outbidding one another in name of independent film, binge-drinking their way from invite-only party to invite-only party, and collecting swag along…
God is nonexistent. Need proof? Nickelback is headed our way. With great displeasure, Crossfade regrets to announce that Alberta, Canada “rock” band Nickelback will soon embark on their Here and Now arena tour, a 39-city trek across the United States and Canada. On Saturday, May 5, the Chad Kroeger-lead bunch…
Happy three-day MLK Weekend, y’all. How’s everyone going to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy? Like Christmas, the true spirt of the holiday is often overlooked. People forget that the good Doctor dedicated his life to civil rights and died in the name of equality. We’ve compiled a list of some of…
