Music aside, visuals have played an important role in the Switch and Diplo side project, Major Lazer.

The past few months have produced something akin to Surfer Blood fatigue — and Crossfade’s up-to-the-minute coverage isn’t exactly changing that — at least among locals. But it’s really not the group’s fault. For a band that’s barely old enough to drink, they’ve seemingly done everything right: They’ve promoted themselves…

Talk about a come-up. Ross Ford started his Miami art career in 2006 by selling his paintings on Lincoln Road and in front of Bayside Marketplace.

You might recognize frontwoman Coco’s voice from Drew Barrymore’s Whip It! or episodes of Entourage. But what’s most memorable about the Ettes is perhaps their legendary collaborations.
