Proof that God is nonexistent struck us like an 18-wheeler going 65 MPH in a school zone when Nickelback announced their Here and Now arena tour earlier this year. We asked our readers to join the “stop Nickelback from infiltrating our up-and-coming, culturally relevant music scene” movement, but few responded…
Yesterday, CNN ran an interesting article about Southern stereotypes, “The South: Not all Bubbas and Banjos.” “The lower right-hand portion of the U.S. of A. is often pigeonholed as a tobacco-spittin’, Bible-thumpin’, gun-totin’ (and worse) backwater,” writes Todd Leopold. “So go ahead, fry up the buckwheat cakes, spoon out the…

The art of sensual seduction via song ain’t nothin’ like it used to be. Back in the day, all it took was a few lines from Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” to not only get the panties droppin’, but also have them flying through the air like graduation caps. Contemporary…
Fuck the haters. Like, literally. In public. With an oversized inflatable banana. While wearing just a blazer and zebra-print speedo. In addition to laughing their effing asses off, screeching “I’m in Miami Bitch,” and doing non-stop “Shots” of Viagra-infused booze, LMFAO’s Redfoo and Sky Blu have become famous for their…
Cuban hip-hop flows will never stop flooding Miami’s shores. Take Mr. Haka, who came to the United States around the turn of the millenium, bringing the sounds of Camagüey with him. In 2004, he released an album titled El Legendario. He achieved some regional and national success with it. And…
Seth Bogart is queercore’s flat-chested poster boy and a household name among same-sex households with an affinity for independent garage rock. The colorful 31-year-old Hunx and his Punx frontman has become one of Hardly Art’s chief impresarios, a showman who’s second to none. Whether he’s eye-fucking men at his lively…
The last time singing dinosaurs were cool (read: Barney), we were barely old enough to ride in the passenger seat. Back then, our idea of a good dino song was sing “Apples and Bananas” as many ways as possible. But now we’re older and demand something more sophisticated from our…
The act of popular ’90s musicians scheduling and subsequently postponing tour stops in South Florida continues. Following a trend perfected earlier this year by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eddie Vedder has regrettably postponed his upcoming 15-city U.S. solo tour “due to temporary nerve damage” in the legendary Pearl Jam…
What does an Indian yogi and the Spanish-language version of the The Jetsons have to do with Argentinean rock ‘n’ roll? For Babasónicos, it’s all in the name. Over 20 years ago, a group of Argentines borrowed Baba from Indian guru and Hindu saint Sai Baba of Shirdi and sónicos…

What is potentially the absolute last headline we’d gamble on reading just popped into our inbox. “GRAMMY WINNER BON IVER @ THE FILLMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Yes, that’s 47 exclamation points preceded by what may be the best news we’ve heard this month. Granted, we’re only two days deep into April, but a…
Eyehategod’s first song at Churchill’s opened a portal to hell. The whole club was transported to a world of fire and brimstone, demons and evil. And you thought the bathrooms were bad before. For an hour-and-a-half, the New Orleans sludge combo kept Miami so far underground, we actually saw the…
The Roots Adrienne Arsht Center Saturday, March 31, 2012 Better Than: Just about anything else that was going on in Miami on Saturday night. It was certainly the finest tuba anywhere in Miami Saturday night. Aside from for Questlove’s drums, Damon “Tuba Gooding Jr.” Bryson’s cheeks expanded to fill the…
