Over the last year and a half, few Miami venues have impacted the local scene as significantly as 14th Street’s Bar. After taking over the space formerly occupied by PS14 and setting up a replica of New York City bar Max Fish for a successful week-long run during Art Basel…
In the early ’80s, both U2 and the Psychedelic Furs played the German TV show Rockpalast. Thirty years later, Bono’s filling Sun Life Stadium while the Furs play Culture Room. What happened? Both were influenced by the Jam, the Clash, the Buzzcocks, and the Sex Pistols. But as Bono’s hairline…
Britney Spears, our favorite almost-30-year-old, meltdown-prone mom is trying to keep her music videos sexy. It isn’t working and here are some lowlights from her new vid for “I Wanna Go.” Robots. People keep turning into androids. The video ends with a guy giving her a handful of seashells before…
Electronic dance music has splintered off into countless genres and sub-genres over the decades, almost to the point of absurdity. But if there’s one consensus among most EDM fans, whether they’re self-proclaimed house heads, techno heads, or electro heads, it’s that Morgan Geist rules the school. Maybe that’s because this…
A few years ago, local guitarist Steve Vaynshtok began hearing squalls of instrumental noise crashing off the inside walls of his skull. So he started a two-man band called Fight Like Animals. “It’s music I want to listen to,” Vaynshtok says, “but no one is making.” Originally, he teamed with…
We don’t have enough room to print a full history lesson. But since the early 2000s, singer-pianist Jose Castello and a crew of musicians buddies — including guitarists Kris Pabon and Max Johnston, drummer Jorge Rubiera, bassist Jarret Hahn, and vocalist Edward Adames — have been swarming around the Miami…
Down here in the Magic City, if there’s one thing we really love, it’s a good show. So even if you’re not crazy about Steve Aoki’s mixes, at least you can expect a night of instantly recognizable party tracks, crowdsurfing, stage-diving, The Lion King theme music, and free vodka shots…
No one in music today can express complicated ideas through simple means with as much raw eloquence as Bill Orcutt. The Miami expatriate (Orcutt has resided in the Bay Area for years now) and former guitarist for cult South Florida noise rock trio Harry Pussy has been on a tear…
Crossfade has received word that Best of Miami 2011 Readers’ Poll winner Bar will be closing after July 4. The news comes as a shock, even though there have been previous rumors of the venue’s closure.Sources tell us that it wasn’t OHWOW’s choice to close. In fact, it was hoping…
Ice Cream falls somewhere between punk and psychedelia, DWNTWN and the suburbs, children’s lullabies and real rock. This young quartet plays curious, kooky music that pairs moaning, Jim Morrison-like incantations with eerie-but-poppy compositions. The band has been a fixture of the local, undergrad-aged indie rock scene for three years, and…
Alfred Hitchcock populated his films with blonde women, believing that film audiences would be more suspicious of brunettes. But when you see two platinum manes bouncing up and down behind Arkadia’s decks this Friday, you should suspect that this fair-headed DJ duo is conspiring to do evil things with their…
Last week, Crossfade had a casual chat with Mr. Jason Friedman and Ms. Eleanore Everdell of Brooklyn boy-girl band The Hundred in the Hands. The topics ranged from THITH’s namesake (“A Native American battle from the 1800s,” Friedman explained) to collecting printed matter, defying this hyperdigital age, and returning to…
Over the course of nearly 20 years, the four members of Caramelos de Cianuro have managed to secure themselves as the chief proponents of rock in their native Venezuela. Moreover, they’ve established themselves as representatives of Latin rock on the whole — or Rock en Español, as it’s widely known…
See photos from the Johnny’s Miami Grand Opening. For as long as Crossfade’s been partaking in Miami’s nightlife, NE 14th Street has always been dominated by hipster venues: I/O Lounge, PS 14, and White Room and later the Vagabond, Bar, and Eve. Well, the neighborhood is welcoming a new tenant…
It may strike you as odd that an artist who plays multi-stringed instruments — like the tres, a six-stringed Cuban guitar, and the cuatro, a four-stringed Venezuelan guitar — goes by the name Nil. But that doesn’t mean Mr. Lara is synonymous with nada. His heyday was back in the…
