Enrique Iglesias was a bit of a heartthrob when we were growing up. We had friends who had huge posters of his face on their walls, and it might not be too far fetched to suggest that he was pretty much South Florida’s very own grown-up version of Justin Bieber…
The hottest ticket this weekend might be for the Crystal Castle show, along with local artist Panic Bomber, at Grand Central this Saturday. Even at $40, we hear they are going fast! So being the awesome blog that we are, we decided giveaway a pair (that’s two tickets) to the…
Okay, we’re not claiming to be geographical geniuses or anything, but when we hear about a music festival dubbed “Hialeah Fest,” we just assumed it would take place in Hialeah, right?That’s not the case for this year’s festival, which will bring in about 20 bands so far, among them Ketchy…
The name Philip Selway probably sounds familiar: He’s been the drummer for Radiohead since the band’s inception, but a lot of people don’t know that he often did backup vocals for the band, too. Selway decided to branch out on his own to make his first solo album, Familial, but…
Local MC and heavy-hitter Dynas has been doing his hip-hop thing for years. And when we mean “years,” we’re talking well over 14, grinding both in his birthplace of New York City and his current place of residence, Miami.With over 50 releases under his belt as well as a sleuth…

We weren’t really sure what to make of the announcement that French pop duo Daft Punk scoring the Disney film Tron. Would they stick to their trademark dance worthy beats, or compromise it all for those cute and memorable mouse ears?Once we got a peek of some of the track…
Like homeboys and Visionquest partners Seth Troxler and Lee Curtiss, DJ/producer Ryan Crosson is part of a new breed of Detroit-bred artists who have staked their place in Berlin’s underground EDM scene since the late ’00s. Born and raised in Metro Detroit, Crosson absorbed the native sounds of second-wave Detroit…
We all freaked out when we heard tickets for Saturday’s Crystal Castles show at Grand Central sold out everywhere. But alas, our prayers have been answered. A new batch of $40 tickets have been made available for purchase.Only about 200 of them were released, so once those are gone, there…
We’d be lying if we said we weren’t a little excited for next Friday’s Kings of Leon show at the Cruzan Amphhitheatre. They’ve made sure to keep us excited — though tickets went on sale about a year ago — by announcing news of a new album recently. Now to…
Stop, drop, shut ’em down, and open up shop: We all remember jamming to a little DMX back in the day. He’s no stranger to drama, and loves himself a little controversy. Stints in jail, feuds with Ja Rule, and his latest: Picking on our local Florida talent. DMX spoke…
If you were lucky enough to be in Miami in the mid to late ’90s and of drinking age (okay, truth be told, anyone could get in anywhere back then), there’s a good chance you know exactly what Arsenal 88 vocalist Andres Aguero means when he says, “I grew up…
I don’t usually go around spouting the hip-hop Gospel, but I’ll be damned if I don’t happen to cross paths with some hot shit. Here’s a home-made video by my holmes Orion for Thousand’s track “Acid Trips” and in true form, it is found footage from some arcane Japanese arcade…
If you aren’t checking out Clubchaser.com, New Times’ slutty alter-ego, you are missing out on the regular documentation of Miami’s nightlife. Over the Labor Day weekend, our photographers caught all the action on both sides of the causeway. So let’s do a quick recap of all that was snapped. The…
Rihanna’s always turned heads with her choices in fashion, boyfriends, and song title choices (umbrella, anyone?). But now we think she might be attempting to change genres with her fifth studio album, Loud.”Yes it is called LOUD,” Rihanna told fans during a live chat recently. “Get LOUD everybody. Get crazy…
