“Never break the chain!” Sadly, though, after we here at Crossfade implored you to “cancel whatever plans you’ve already made for Saturday, June 8, 2013, because Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks are getting the band back together” … Fleetwood Mac has gone and canceled on us…
At a time when most bands were either grunge, punk, or nu-metal, Los Amigos Invisibles took a different route — danceable Latin funk — and it was a path that led them to become the premier party band in Venezuela. Over the past 20 years, these chamos musicales have definitively…
Charlie XCX at the Garret at Grand Central June 8
UPDATE: Fleetwood Mac has canceled its South Florida tour stop. More details at “Fleetwood Mac Cancels Reunion Tour Show in South Florida.” The term “hipster” is one that has evolved from a benign adjective used by grandmas and square folk to describe those with an inclination toward the arts and…
Jazid’s 17th Anniversary Parties, With Locos por Juana, Jahfe, and Others, June 7 and 8
With an average Pitchfork album reviews rating of 8.6, Grizly Bear is undeniably one of hispterdom’s most popular bands of the 21st century. Their latest record, Shields, with its whimsical melodies and deeply emotional lyrical content, is being heralded as the group’s best. It debuted in the Top 10 of…
The 305’s musical tastes are just as diverse as the masses who live here. We’re a bunch of EDM beat freaks, salsa fanatics, Rasta lovers, hip-hop heads, hardcore punks, and indie obsessives. But we can all agree that music brings people together. This holds especially true for Afrika Bambaataa’s Zulu…
These guys may be un grupo de locos, but one thing’s for sure: they are reggae/Latin/cumbia/fusion badasses. Locos Por Juana was successful from the start. The release of their debut, self-titled album landed them a Premio lo Nuestro nomination in 2003 for Best Urban Artist. The second album, Música P’al…
L’enfant terrible better known as Justin Bieber sure had fun yesterday gallivanting around the cities of Miami and Miami Beach.

Yesterday near Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Inner Circle’s tour bus crashed into a highway cable barrier on Interstate 10 as the classic reggae band traveled to California to kick off its summer tour. A tire blowout was the cause. “Listen man, God is good,” cofounder and guitarist Roger Lewis tells Crossfade…
It may only be Tuesday. But hey, it’s never too early to party. Especially when we’re talking South Beach, a magical hot spot near the ocean where on any given night of the week, you’ll find talented musicians throwing bashes because, why not? Check out the six best SoBe parties…
Historically, South Florida sports fans have been accused of being bandwagon jumpers. The ’95-’96 Panthers, the 2003 Marlins, UM in the 2000s, etc. But last night, an unlikely source proved that Heat fans ride-or-die for their squad when Flo Rida’s manager, Freezy, was ejected from the Triple following a courtside…
It looks like little Justin Bieber is all grown up, Biscayne strip club style. The 19-year-old superstar was spotted enjoying the Miami Heat game last night, as well as some of the more adult attractions in the 305. It seems the last few days he’s been blowing off some steam,…
One of the things that US electronic music fans have to envy the most about the UK scene is its diversity of sounds. For decades, it’s been a creative hotbed for all sorts of experimental styles and hybrids, from jungle and drum ‘n’ bass to UK garage, grime, dubstep, and…
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blames solanum. In Miami, early reports after an alleged outbreak in 2012 suggested bath salts. And in Brad Pitt’s forthcoming film, World War Z, it’s a global pandemic. Yes, zombie attacks are on the rise and pose a bigger threat to Western civilization…
The bigger you get in the music business, the bigger the rooms you fill and the less dates you need to make your bank. That seems to be the theory behind Kaskade’s forthcoming Atmosphere tour, in support of his new album by the same name, dropping in September. It’s the…
The pop music industry is a lot like the porn industry. You’ve got throwaway faces with hot bodies ready to do almost anything for the fame and fortune. Honestly, a lot of the music videos coming out today might as well be porno clips. With the lines of decency so…
If Charlotte Aitchison is anything, she’s affable. Any other 20 year old might have already let success go to her head. But this girl named Charli remains warm and friendly, if a little blunt. “I have read some reviews and stuff. Maybe that’s a bit uncool of me,” Aitchison says…
The ever-dreaded work week has begun again. And even though you’re probably hating the world right now, there are things to look forward to this week. You know, other than Friday. What else is there to anticipate other than the weekend, you may ask? Concerts. Lots of ’em, from rock…
R.I.P., feminism, for we bury it on this day. The-Dream released a pornographic music video less than 24 hours ago. And almost immediately, it was pulled from YouTube for breaking the nudity rules. Thankfully, there’s Vimeo for all our prurient needs. The clip for single “Pussy,” featuring Big Sean and…
He might be a relative newcomer to the international dance music scene, but Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (AKA Orlando Higginbottom) certainly landed with a meteoric bang. Trouble, his critically acclaimed 2012 debut artist album, was an iTunes and DJ Mag pick for Electronic Album of the Year. It would also…
The ethereal Autre Ne Veut (AKA Arthur Ashin) claims to be the”prince of flasehoods.” And perhaps you could be thrown off by the name, seeing as how this artsy musician doesn’t hail from France. (He is from Brooklyn, New York.) But listen to the stirringly sexual R&B on his newest…
