Renee Fiallos via MyspaceQuick, what’s the difference between “Real Jazz” and that impostor shit John Tesh and his cronies try to pass off? If you can’t answer that question, you owe it to yourself to get down to Tobacco Road tonight at 10 pm. Here’s a hint: Real Jazz has…
If you’re onto Corporate America’s scheme to fleece consumers out of their hard-earned dollars with the whole Valentine’s Day scheme, good for you! Restaurants consistently have the worst service of the year on February 14, and the fact that it falls on a Saturday this year will only add to…

Valentine’s doesn’t come around on a Saturday very often, making this year’s an ideal reason for EDM lovers to consummate their love on a dancefloor somewhere (as if we needed an excuse on Saturday nights anyways.)

There are few hispanophone ladies and gents of a certain age who have not been reduced, at some point, to misty eyes by the ballad stylings of the suave Spaniard Julio Iglesias. While Iglesia’s true crossover peak came mainly in the 1980s, he has hardly receded from the international spotlight,…
Bad news for fans: Yonder Mountain String Band just announced that it was postponing all of its shows from February 11 to 15, with the vague explanation, “due to circumstances surrounding the band.” That includes this Friday’s previously scheduled gig at Revolution. The okay news is that rather than an…
City Limits, besides snagging Bad Brains, has also grabbed blog darlings Tokyo Police Club to play the same weekend the band would have played Langerado. Unfortunately, the show goes up against two others that night that attract similar fans: Girl Talk and Deerhunter at Culture Room, and Modest Mouse at…
Propaghandi is coming to South Florida in March. Fans of the long-running thrashy punk band from Canada may or may not be psyched to see them at the Culture Room, but you can be sure that they will go. For starters, the band has never played down here, ever. A…
via myspace.com/badbrainsAsk any self-respecting punk rock fan to list his or her top 10 punk bands, and Bad Brains will almost certainly be toward the top. These hardcore punk rock pioneers began playing together as a jazz band with a rough edge and a hint of reggae way back in…
Lou Miami is not from Miami, he don’t perform here, he got nothin to do with this place and this place got nothin to do with him. Matter fact, dude’s from Boston and probably just made his name up cause he thought it sounded cool. Give thanks, otherwise I never…
Kat DeLuna will be visiting Miami this week. The Dominican songstress, who enjoyed rampant radio success at the tail end of 2007 and into 2008 with her hit single, “Whine Up” featuring Elephant Man, just turned 21 in November, and it’s lucky for her. She’s recently kicked off an 8-city…
The February 13 show at Respectable Street Café features two of the finest local acts to break out of Broward and Palm Beach counties: John Ralston and the Postmarks. Of the two, the Postmarks are perhaps the better known, garnering a degree of international critical acclaim by largely refusing to…

Better yet, Shane MacGowan and crew have announced this will be the first show of their North…
Que vuelta, mi gente? That’s Cuban for “Hello, dear friends. How are you this fine day?” You might be wondering the reason for the lesson in Cuban slang. Have I been watching Pichy films’ 299 again? No. Well…okay…yes. Yes, I have. Damned if I’m not still running around screaming, “que…
The peeps from Safe have hit the ground running this new year it seems, what with them booking international techno magnate Konrad Black for Valentine’s at Glass, in addition to Sammy Dee this Friday night at the same venue. Hailing from Berlin (big surprise) Mr. Dee is a scene veteran…
