Although most Americans might not be aware of him, Jamaican producer Lee “Scratch” Perry may very well be the most influential musical artist alive. On January 13, Miami audiences will have the opportunity to catch Perry live and in the flesh at the Ground.
Nobody is sad to see 2017 go. It was a chaotic year of political anxiety, social change, and warmongering. If there’s one bright spot, it’s that music seems to be rebuking the call for nationalism. In fact, music has never been more diverse, and it can thank Miami for that…
Hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons has been accused of several incidents of sexual assault in South Florida dating to the 1980s.
Following the debut of their initial lineup in late November, Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival has just announced several artists who will be joining the festival in the Sunshine Grove next March.
Over the past decade, the epicenter of Miami Clubland has shifted noticeably westward. While the promise of the ’80s kitsch and cooling winds of South Beach once defined a late night (or early morning) out on the town, Miamians and curious out-of-towners have migrated to the mainland in search of…
There’s no way to overstate the importance of crossover acts. They combine their influences into a digestible, usually pop package that provides listeners the context, permission, and imagination to dive more deeply into the vast and bottomless pool that is music geekery. Just as David Bowie turned people on to the works of Jacques Brel and Robert Fripp, hip-hop madman Kanye West has long made younger listeners unlikely fans of artists such as Steely Dan and, uh, Robert Fripp.
At first glance, it’s a little odd seeing Arthur Baker out and about in the morning. After all, this is a man who has not only made his living in nightlife but also spent nearly four decades shaping its direction and timbre. As glimpsed in New Order’s iconic music video…
Over the weekend, the second edition of House of Creatives Music Festival took place on Virginia Key, bringing indie favorites such as Metronomy and WhoMadeWho, as well as beloved crossover acts Alt-J, Washed Out, and MGMT. Turbulent weather made enjoyment of the last act — the weekend’s most anticipated performance — difficult. Rainfall and the threat of lightning strikes forced MGMT to take the stage more than an hour after the band’s scheduled time, resulting in a set that was as short as it had been anticipated.
For those who were too young to experience the Brooklyn postpunk revival of the 2000s but are too old to unreservedly love mumble rap, the path to LCD Soundsystem fandom is a well-trodden one. In the late ’00s and early ’10s, you might have first heard “Daft Punk Is Playing…
After a long and powerful three days of music, III Points came to a steamy close yesterday, with coheadliner the xx playing the hell out of the stage and closing with the hit “The Angels.” The tune, the fan reaction, and the three days of performance brought live music to a new level in Miami.
Despite bouts of rain, III Points 2017 continued last night with a slew of pounding performances. Here’s what went down: Virgo 6:20 p.m. on the Mind Melt stage As the sun began setting behind the giant Mind Melt stage disco ball, alien water creature Virgo welcomed early stragglers with siren…
III Points 2017 kicked off last night with throngs of fans crowding Mana Wynwood to catch the first night of a solid lineup. Gorillaz’ were the biggest draw (read our review here), but there were plenty of acts fully capable of keeping the crowd wowed. Kaitlin Aurelia Smith 7 p.m…
Broward artist Lucas Racine, better known as Lautlos, is more than happy to flash his ongoing creative development for all to see. Last week saw the release of the 24-year-old musician’s latest EP, Shimei, and he will be celebrating the occasion with an appearance at III Points.
Little about III Points’ planning, execution, or aesthetic is conventional. Since its inception in 2013, it has consistently been bizarre and unexpected.
After a decade of lurking around blog posts and soundtracks, synthwave is having a moment. As evidenced by the crossover success of the Stranger Things score and the presence of cult duo Magic Sword in the trailer for Thor: Ragnarok, the genre — built upon a fondness for ’80s-era analog synths and prominent bass lines — is no longer confined to niche, extremely online audiences. It has broken through to the mainstream.
Celebrated Brazilian actor and singer Seu Jorge returns to South Florida to celebrate the music of David Bowie.
Making good on a four-year-old promise, Arcade Fire performed to a vibrant crowd at the University of Miami’s Watsco Center on a tour stop promoting the band’s latest album, July’s Everything Now.
Front 242 will be the first act to perform at the Ground, the new venue on the first floor of Space.
Depending on how you look at it, Arcade Fire’s performance at the Watsco Center this Saturday has been anywhere from 13 to four years in the making. Despite being among the most visible faces of indie rock, earning a well-deserved Grammy for 2010’s The Suburbs, and its status as one…
