New Order has a bit of a crush on Miami, and based on the response at last night’s sold-out show at the Fillmore, the feeling is mutual. The influential British New Wave group responsible for enduring dance-rock masterpieces such as “Blue Monday” and “Bizarre Love Triangle” announced a Miami stop on the heels of a rescheduled Chile tour date in early December.

Sonny & Cher’s 1965 song “I Got You Babe” blares each morning from the clock radio of Bill Murray’s character in the 1993 comedy classic “Groundhog Day.” Asked why he chose that song, writer Danny Rubin said that after several replays, “it would drive you crazy!” But wasn’t there always something also charming about the song?…

It all started with a scheduling conflict. “The band Steve Jr. from New York were touring their new album. They hit me up about playing in Miami,” Ricardo Guerrero, who produces a series of shows called Death to the Sun, tells New Times. “I reached out to Churchill’s, and they told me that Gordo [Emmanuel Nanni, who promotes Hardcore for Punx] already had the date reserved for a punk show…”
Rapper Karl “Dice Raw” Jenkins, known for his frequent collaborations with the Roots, speaks to an assembly of ninth-graders at the Young Men’s Preparatory Academy in Wynwood. He’s there to talk about his latest project, a stage musical about the life of Henry “Box” Brown, who escaped slavery by sealing himself inside a wooden crate and mailing it from Virginia to Pennsylvania.
The group released only two albums, but they are considered massively influential in the emo-rock genre, leaving sonic traces that lead to the likes of Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World.
