According to UR1 Festival organizers, the fest has been postponed, not canceled. The reason given for the rescheduling: a weather forecast that predicts strong winds the weekend of December 8 and 9. Once the new dates are announced, ticket holders can decide whether to ask for a refund or use…
Ahh, Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern … The quaint, woodsy little shack in the middle of South Miami. It’s an oasis where you can come in with a couple friends, get a cute little table in the garden, and get kersplammered. However, twice a year, Bougies goes Barry Bonds, taking over…
While James Brown was the hardest working man in soul music, Lee Fields is the hardest feeling, dishing out emotional exorcisms with every hoot, holler, and wail. Even the name of his backing band – the Expressions – is loaded with burning sentiment. On Saturday, December 1, Sweat Records will…
Art Basel Miami Beach … For wealthy locals and jetsetters, it’s a chance to shop for additions to their already extravagant art collections and attend velvet-rope receptions in chic new getups. But for us uhntz-uhntz heads, it’s just another excuse to put on our tattered dancing shoes. In fact electronic…
In sickness and in health, count on Justin Bieber to stand by his allegedly on-and-off-again lady tiger, Selena Gomez. Biebz spent part of his Monday outside of a Reseda, California hospital waiting for Gomez to undergo a 20-minute medical examination, according to Extra. Naturally, the hospital visit has triggered a…
If a girl looks at your shoes and smiles, plays with her hair while checking you out, and then makes physical contact, it usually means she wants to fuck. So Kanye West may have some competition from the Sons of Mystro, who caught Kim Kardashian’s eye during a performance at…
You will not believe what DJ Paris Hilton did last night. She got exposed a new collabo track with Lil Wayne. And we here at Crossfade think she just might have “bust it wide open for a Trukfit sweater.” Or at least for a 16-bar feature. In her new unreleased…
Madonna The MDNA Tour With Paul Oakenfold American Airlines Arena, Miami Monday, November 19, 2012 Better Than: Looking for Molly with MDNA at Ultra Music Festival. Three ingeniously slutty decades. That’s how long Madonna has been selling her marvelously meaty ass to the American public. And last night, the newest…
When you’re a 50-year-old musician with a $290 million fortune, majority ownership of an arena football team, and a chummy relationship with President Obama, you’re definitely not “Livin’ on a Prayer” anymore. Life is good for Jon Bon Jovi. So the feathery-haired frontman and his band of New Jersey arena…
Ramen noodles, Capri Sun, and a bag of Ruffles basically sums up our diet because we’re poor. But ramen noodles, Capri Sun, and a bag of Ruffles basically sums up Rihanna’s diet because she’s perpetually baked. TMZ got a copy of RiRi’s tour rider this morning and highlighted some of…
This year, the ever-hip and massive Basel Castle lineup is getting mad foolish. The Overthrow peeps announced a beefy list of artists, featuring Purity Ring, Twin Shadow and a host of others, a large number of whom can be included in the always ace Fool’s Gold family. Plus, there’s going…
Last night, the American Music Awards turned 40. And we know what you’re thinking: WTF the American Music Awards? Well, it’s an ABC tradition, originated by the late, great Dick Clark. It’s like the American Idol of shitty award shows, in that the fans choose the winners by an online…
If you’re going to close up shop, you might as well go out in style. And by “in style,” we mean “total cacophony, the kind that makes your bones hurt so much that they feel good.” The already completely insane lineup for the final edition of Death to the Sun…
Joan Manuel Serrat and Joaquín Sabina Dos Pájaros Contraatacan Tour American Airlines Arena, Miami Friday, November 16, 2012 After the huge success of a world tour dubbed Dos Pájaros de Un Tiro (Two Birds with One Stone) in 2007, Joan Manuel Serrat and Joaquín Sabina have returned stronger than ever…
Ice “Billion” Berg ain’t got no time, he’s chasing money. The only thing on his mind is stackin’ those gotdam hundreds. He told his “bitch” he’s on his grind, she says she understands, and even if she don’t, then she gon’ need another man. ‘Cause he ain’t got no time…
Regina Spektor With Only Son Fillmore Miami Beach November 17, 2012 Better Than: An Audrey Tatou movie marathon. Last night, Regina Spektor — the reigning queen of quirky, folky, and hyper-emotive piano pop — filled the Fillmore Miami Beach to the brim and inflamed nearly one thousand separate smiles…
“Fightin’ fake motherfuckers.” That’s the 24/7/365 mission of self-described “Black God,” seriously mysterious dude, and Miami swag rap visionary SpaceGhostPurrp. So it makes sense that SGP and his Raider Klan homies would hook up with next week’s BKMIA Music Fest, a street-level stab at bringing “progressive Brooklyn and Miami musicians…
The doors haven’t even opened. And the staff is still being hired. But EDM superstar Kaskade has already been locked down for the beat-freaking New Year’s Eve party? Over the last few days, we here at Crossfade broke the news about Story Nightclub opening in the former Amnesia Miami space…
Don’t stay home. Come blow that hard-earned Hamilton with Crossfade. We’ll be tokin’ with Miami rap crew ¡Mayday! in honor of Tobacco Road’s 100th b-day. Then we’re gonna throw our drunk ass into the free punk pit at Fox’s Sherron Inn. And finally, we’ll gorge ourselves on Chocolate Sundays. Just…
On April 8, 1994, Kurt Cobain was found dead in the greenhouse above his garage at 171 Lake Washington Boulevard in Seattle. But even 18 years later, he remains the most vital icon to emerge from the whole overhyped and oversold ’90s grunge craze. Maybe Cobain really was “The Last…
It used to be Opium Garden and Prive and then Amnesia Miami. But as we here at Crossfade mentioned earlier this week, that fine piece of South Beach real estate at 136 Collins Avenue is becoming Story Nightclub in December. And yes, it’s definitely gonna be packed with “elite party…
Electronic dance music is more than all the rage. It’s the chi of America’s nightlife. It’s the soundtrack of youth’s most unforgettable moments. It’s the persistent beat that pushes kids through their lowest times, the heavy drop that gives them something to break, and the chill groove perfect for just…
