Cold War Kids Lou La Vie, Miami Thursday, June 12, 2015 Better Than: Anything else you can get for free. Only Miami’s most punctual freeloaders were able to witness fourteen songs of high-energy rock and roll last night. At 8:15 p.m., on the corner of 14th and Biscayne, hundreds of…
The cattiness between girls ends after high school. Or, at least, it should. But while you’re signing your so-called friend’s yearbook with a fake “Have a good Summer! I’ll miss you!”, these recent high school graduates are planning an event to empower and remove the feeling of competition between women…

The Miami Gay Men’s Chorus (MGMC) invites you to take a trip down the rabbit hole with its spring concert, Alex in Discoland. The show premieres tomorrow night at the newly renovated Miami Senior High School Theater. The whimsical concert tells the story of Alex, a young man living in…
I — along with many in last night’s diverse Grand Central crowd — have been waiting years to see Tycho, AKA ISO50, AKA Scott Hansen. Fusing art and music together in ways few can, Tycho’s look and sound are instantly recognizable. The San Francisco artist’s live show is a trip into his imagination…
Hot Sugar’s work can be considerably icy and bitter — at least nominally so. Track titles like “Addictions,” “Trauma,” and “Dead Inside” certainly seem to point to a darker section of the human condition, a running theme in his work. But the actual sound of the Grammy-nominated NYC producer (born…
Olde Time Religion doesn’t need the glamour of sold out shows. Though the duo are newcomers to the Miami music scene, the brooding, easygoing yet no bullshit sounds of South Miami’s own of Gerard Di Paolo and Garman Ranck are making South Florida music fans take note. The bluesy, hard…
With his older brother DJing in the family garage, a teenage Alex Niggemann learned about techno music through osmosis. But it wasn’t effortless. There was obviously a lot of sweat mixed in as well, the classically trained pianist and Berlin-based DJ told New Times. As he prepared for his sojourn…
There were times when the distortion/bass/jangling riffs achieved deafening strength at Randall’s Island over the course of Governors Ball, and then there were some quiet, intimate or otherwise turned-down moments in between songs and in the space between stages where festival fiends said some of the goofiest, dumbest and weirdest…
“If you like good songs, we’ll have a really good time tonight,” David Crosby promised shortly into the second show of his current solo tour. Looking healthy, trim and respondent dressed in all black, his full mane of white hair offsetting his features like an eternal halo, Crosby held court…
Now that the last ferry has long since departed from Randall’s Island, the balloon arches have been popped and the crushed-to-blithereens Miller Lite cans have been swept up along with the rest of the festival’s evidence, it’s time to look back on the best music moments at Governors Ball 2015…
Miami New Times music section is looking to expand its roster of freelance writers. We’re looking for enthusiastic and reliable freelancers who can generate pitches and take assignments covering events throughout Miami’s diverse music scene. If you are passionate about the 305’s local music scene, are knowledgeable about the issues…
Miami and Las Vegas are different worlds, but the two cities do have some things in common. Both are hot. Like, unbearably, ridiculously ice cream cone-evaporating hot. Both cities can get weird when the sun goes down. And Miami and Vegas both share a massive love of dance music. There…
Summer festival season isn’t off to the best start for Ten Walls, AKA Marijus Adomaitis. Creamfields, Sonar, PITCH, and Urban Art Forms have all dropped the Lithuanian producer from their bills following a recent homophobic Facebook rant where he referred to the gay community as “people of different breed” and…
Saturday night, Miami’s Bayfront Park Amphitheater hosted an evening of returns and homecomings. Third Eye Blind was back in the South Florida area for the first time since 2013 for its co-headlining tour with Dashboard Confessional. Speaking of which, Chris Carrabba and his old bandmates reunited on stage after a…
Free concerts are a rare thing. Any time we hear about one, we think: Sure, but what’s the catch? We want to see free live music just as much as the next guy, but we don’t want to have to give away our social security number in the process. Well suspicious…

As if Grand Central didn’t already have the hip-hop game on lock with PeachFuzz, it done added another legit dance party to its roster. Miami Soul Sessions is hosted by On the B Side’s president Ingrid B, and celebrates the births of all those born under that month’s astrological sign…
“It’s Michael Jackson through a different perspective, from someone who grew up in a totally different background and culture.”
Miami may love to party, but there’s one thing the Magic City loves even more — to party on the cheap. And since most of us are living a little on the broke side, your penniless club rats at New Times are hooking you with the weekend’s wildest ragers. But…
Art Basel, WMC, III Points. That’s the holy trifecta as the III Points camp would have you believe, and with two successful Octobers behind them, they’re not far off. The music, art, and technology fest has emerged from Wynwood’s streets as something of a show-stopper, and this year, organizers promise…
DJ Irie’s hyping up the crowd has become as much a fixture of Miami Heat games as Pat Riley or Burnie the mascot, so it’s hard to believe when he was first offered the job to be the team’s official inhouse DJ he turned it down. “When the Heat moved…
