LCD Soundsystem’s heavy dance anthems combine with experimental rock, disco, and even hints of punk to make for great music for jamming, head-bobbing, or — and our personal preference — full-on shake-every-muscle-in-your-body dance moves. When we heard last week of LCD Soundsystem’s fall tour announcement with Hot Chip, we’re not…
Think whatever you will about Sasha Grey’s acting/performance art/whatever, but music snobs everywhere lust after her even more thanks to her avowed awesome and obscure music taste. Take her stage name, after all — the “Sasha” part is reportedly cribbed from Sascha Konietzko, founder of industrial legends KMFDM.We doubt any…
It warms our jaded hearts to see that there is, in fact, the possibility of love in the music industry. Rapper T.I., born Clifford Harris, married longtime girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle this past weekend here in Miami.It’s a nice payoff for Tiny, who’s stood by her man through a nine-year…
It’s that time again — Bar will be showcasing a new look starting tonight. Above is a teaser photo Bar’s general manager Raul Sanchez tweeted last night. This time it’s Chicago artist Cody Hudson who will be plastering Bar’s wall with his own aesthetic. The exhibition is being dubbed “Will…
Click here to view photos of Rihanna’s Miami tour stop.Rihanna with Ke$haAmerican Airlines Arena, MiamiSaturday, July 31, 2010I normally don’t make myself a part of any review, but it’s important to know that Saturday night I experience my first ever pop concert. I’ve seen many live performances, from rock concerts…
Robert Plant and the Band of JoyBayfront Park Amphitheater, MiamiSaturday, July 31, 2010Robert Plant is born again. Well, okay, perhaps not in the religious sense…. Although in Saturday night’s spectacular showing, he and his magnificent Band of Joy did a fair amount of testifying via some gospel-tinged material. Rather, he’s…
Good news for all of you Bella Rose fans out there: Keith Paciello has become a full partner at Rokbar on South Beach. Expect the same laidback, anything-goes experience now that Paciello has taken over creative control at the Collins Avenue watering hole.Paciello, for those of you who may not…

In the early ’50s, visionary electronic music pioneer Dr. Robert Moog and his Moog Music company would forever change the landscape of popular music by developing the first music synthesizers. Early on, Moog’s technology would be championed by a few select experimental musicians, mainly ’70s prog rockers like Keith Emerson…
I love Sasha Grey. Not in the creepy guy-who-stalks-porn-stars kind of way. I truly think she’s becoming a post-modern feminist icon. Some may disagree because pornography is often considered inherently misogynistic. But I’m not always sure Grey does porn because she wants to get men off, as much as she…
It seems like anyone with any sort of vocal ability is launching some sort of clothing line lately (hello, Madonna). But Iggy Pop’s new designer/clothing collaboration, of course, hits closer to home.He’s teamed up with Barney’s and Archive 1887 tees for a line of Iggy-full swag sure to make any…
Yes, you read that right. Suenalo and Lanzallamas Monofonica are going to be laying down the nasty on the same stage at Transit Lounge tomorrow night. How the hell is that stage going to handle so much energy? Good question.How’s Transit going to contain the over the top descarga that’s…
This year has been good for old South Florida favorites reuniting, from Floor, to Timescape Zero, and now to Glasseater. (Could a Disney Violence reunion from those old and bald fucks be too far off into the future? Who knows!)On Saturday night, Glasseater will take the Churchill’s stage for the…
No, this isn’t the Latina La Roux, though admittedly her hair is funky and awesome. Karina Iglesias is a local girl. She’s sultry, smooth and soulful. And though she may not be what first comes to mind when you think of Miami’s live music scene, perhaps she too should have…
Okay, so we don’t think independent record stores in South Florida are going anywhere — hello, Sweatstock, Record Store Day — but that doesn’t mean they’re thriving everywhere else in the country. That’s what I Need That Record: The Death or Possible Survival of the Independent Record Store is out there…
Fat Joe’s new, 10th studio album, Darkside, Vol. 1, dropped just two days ago, but is already expected to debut in the Billboard 200. Why all the sales fuss over Jose’s latest? Well, it’s a return to his old, street-level form — a 180 from the continued attempts at pop…
If you ever enjoy seeing the city from two wheels, there are two things you should do tomorrow evening. One, join the Friday-night 305 Critical Mass ride (not to be confused with the other monthly Miami Critical Mass, ride which happens on Saturday mornings). Bring lights and don’t be an…
By now, anybody who knows me knows how much I love the titties, so much so that I generally waste away many a sentence with the beautiful English expression, “Ain’t that the tits!” That said, I’m gonna go ahead and lend my full support to Antisteez.com’s editrix Goobs and her…
Drummers sometimes get a bad rap, especially from comedians, for whatever reason. But I’ve been in bands and I know what an excruciating pain in the ass it is for drummers to 1) lug in their equipment often with little or no help, 2) keep that rhythm going regardless of…
Robert Plant and Band of Joy play Bayfront Park Amphitheater Saturday
DJ Obscene: A Miami hip-hop staple returns
This Thursday’s free show at Bar continues Roofless Records’ ongoing series at the venue showcasing the best of, well, the strange. That’s strangely good, though. No matter how left-field Roofless’s performer picks might seem, they never devolve into the kind of clatter of, say, experimental noise or whatever else along…
