See the cut for a list of all 16 U.S. dates added to Taylor Swift’s Speak Now World Tour. Taylor Swift is adorable. Like a cherry-cheeked, golden-fleeced little doll. Or your sweet, innocent baby sister. And honestly, you’d think her audience of millions was nothing other than pretty teenage girls…
Go gas up your midnight purple donk, load six Marshall stacks into that big-ass trunk, snag some Hennessy and promethazine, and pick up your girl ’cause next Friday, come sundown, we’re driving into the deep, dark, insidiously dry heat of the Arizona desert for a bass rager so brutal you’ll…
Evan Rifas has been active in South Florida’s music community since the early ’90s and he has maintained a relatively quiet presence that has allowed him to fine-tune his astute and articulate sensibilities. Aside from being a great poetic lyricist, he seamlessly weaves personal experience with observation and quirky pop…
With a veritable tsunami of unclassifiable dubby breakbeat flooding the international scene right now, it’s easy for music critics to lump the entire mishmash under the dubstep genre. But don’t even think about calling Mount Kimbie dubstep. Their sound has more in common with the musique concrète of early 20th…

While we were all raving at Bicentennial Park this past weekend, Miami’s most generous couple, Patricia and Phillip Frost, donated $35 million toward the construction of the new Miami Science Museum to be erected adjacent to the Miami Art Museum in what is presently known as Bicentennial Park.If you attended…
Creep Guirdo is one of those musical aberrations that occurs from time to time. Unintentionally funny due to being a German national of Hialeah descent, he’s largely been the figurehead for local disco rock ‘n’ rollers Pool Party. He recently sat down with us in preparation for April Pool’s Day…
The World/Inferno Friendship Society is a punk cabaret ensemble. (The word ensemble not used lightly as the band can sometimes swell up to a dozen members.) And it has nurtured an international cult following that goes back to the early ’90s. World Inferno, a common abbreviation for the group’s lengthy…
The Magic City isn’t exactly known as a rock music hub. And in a town like this one, where traditional live venues are uncommon and turntable virtuosos are frequently in higher demand than musicians of the guitar-wielding, drumstick-spinning variety, it’s hardly fair to expect the kind of noise that’s made…
Few reggaeton artists possess the suave flow required to believably move from spraying gasolina to romancing the masses. But Tony Dize doesn’t consider himself a mere reggaetonero. He’s “the melody of the streets,” a ponytailed Don Juan who harmonizes, rap-sings, and straddles the line between lusty romance and nasty raunchiness…
Ex Norwegian really had its shit together. Two critically acclaimed albums, viral videos, national tours, corporate sponsors, and an innovative sound … But this past weekend the local indie-pop quintet decided to call it quits for good, playing a farewell show called The Last Tango at the Stage on March…
OK, so we’re not really that excited about Britney Spears’s hot new album Femme Fatale. Or her 11-city North American tour. Or even her local gig at the American Airlines Arena. The multiple exclamation points were gratuitous and cheap. But when a former pop tart goes bonkers, flashes crotch at…
The Dyslexic Postcards have been around in one way, shape, or form for a long time now. And their particular breed of rock ‘n’ roll via the acid wash of alt-psych, punk, blues, and New Wave inflections are the makings of a love-’em-or-hate-’em type of band. Regardless of which, the…
Miami Chum Bucket, a DIY punk venue, distro, and practice space, held its inaugural event this past Saturday night. The show was free and the lineup featured all of the key South Florida punk bands that have played a role in the space’s emergence. In the course of extended fundraising,…
For the last four years, the folks at Sixthman have steamed out to sea with the annual Cayamo Cruise, a week-long luxury vacation that also happens to be a seven-day music festival. Last Thursday, organizers announced that the fifth annual edition of Cayamo will take place February 5 to 12,…
