Open Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. Public funding for local culture might be sinking, but philanthropists Myrna and Sheldon Palley…

She might be weathered and worn, but Purdy Lounge still looks good to many locals who check her out on a weekly basis. She lures them with the promise of cheap drinks and a hassle-free door policy — if you’re of legal drinking age. On Tuesdays, Laidback & Local doesn’t…

The untimely demise of DIY venue Goo has left Miami’s young punks without an official clubhouse. Stepping into that void, there have been several semi-permanent and one-off party places — House of Pain and the Warehouse, for example — that ended up welcoming an orphan show or two. But, for…

This performance by the U.K. dubstep giant Mala at the Vagabond comes just a day after his colleague Skream’s gig around the corner at White Room. Miami aficionados of the genre may not have to go out again for a long time. And lest you totally miss the boat on…

Both members of the Bristol, England duo Way Out West — Jody Wisternoff and Nick Warren — have become international star DJs in their own right. But it’s in this twosome that they really sparkle as creators of warm, expansive dance music that knows few genre bounds. At Way Out…

It looks like John Vale and company are putting out a CD. The Furious Dudes! have been rocking around SoFl for at least the last year or so, dominating dance floors and sonic passages with their death-punk stylings and vicious ways. Fans of Turbonegro, the Hellacopters, and the MC5 would…

These days it has become exceedingly rare to see a show flyer that’s been produced entirely without the aid of a computer. (I mean, we as a people are so obscenely wired that it seems the next logical step should be embedding a Bluetooth into my skull and/or seamlessly interfacing…

Swedish electronic dance music has, for the most part, become synonymous with the hopelessly über-commercial and stale sound of big room players like Steve Angello, Axwell, and Sebastian Ingrosso. Stockholm’s John Dahlbäck, however, may very well be an exception, not just in his own work as an internationally-acclaimed DJ/producer, but…

In this economy, people are struggling to keep their homes and jobs, and businesses are closing. If people are investing, they’re doing so conservatively. So it may not have seemed especially prudent when promoters Garo Gallo and Yvonne Colon opened the Bubble four months ago. Outside of the rock-club trifecta…

It’s 7 p.m. and you must be lonely. You’re driving toward Seminole Hard Rock Live with a ticket that reads, “Rob Thomas and OneRepublic,” and you’re hoping that somewhere in that audience is a person who feels the same way you do. You know, stranded and, like, really intense in…

Sometimes living vicariously through your boob tube’s inhabitants just isn’t enough. Sure, it feels like enough when you’re curled up on the couch with a “special” cigarette and a Hot Pocket, but it pays to participate in live action. This Wednesday, feed your Iron Chef fix at the Whole Foods…

Despite the black cloud hanging over the publishing industry, text is more popular than ever. A larger percentage of the population communicates via the written word now than at any other point in history. In fact, research suggests… hold on a second, just have to answer this text message… OK,…

If there were one word to describe the 2009 Florida Marlins — besides maybe craptastico — it would be implosive. This was a team so close to a postseason berth, but a plethora of strikeouts, a horsecrap bullpen, and a battle between the two biggest stars pretty much guaranteed they’d…

This time last year, after going 1-15 the previous season, Miami Dolphins fans knew winning just a couple more games would make the season a success. Fast-forward to this year, when we find the Dolphins as reigning AFC East champions and any step backward would be a disappointment. It’s not…

Jimmy! Come here right this second, young man! Do you want to explain these sumptuously erotic watercolors we found hidden under your mattress? Do you realize that self-abuse can make you go blind? And why are you hiding them when, as a family, we could all just head over to…

Many of you have probably heard Jimi Ruccolo’s ditties rattling around your brainpans without ever knowing it. When the homegrown warbler isn’t tearing up local stages, he’s often in the studio recording jingles for Del Monte fruit, McDonald’s burgers, or Cocoa Puffs cereal. But what really drives most people cuckoo…

No one really knows why Tinseltown has such a small share of Asian entertainers. Of all minorities, Asian-Americans have the slimmest margin of making it through the ringer. And once they make it, what sort of material do they have to work with? Well, if they’re Bobby Lee of MADtv…

Naysayers might deny there’s a chance of icicles at the end of summer in Miami, but Pridelines Youth, a nonprofit organization that benefits the young GLBTQ community in South Florida, plans to prove them wrong. This Saturday’s Pridelines Ice Gala at the SoCool eVenue will change the September forecast. From…
