Styles, who shot to international fame at the age of 16 with the boy band One Direction before launching his recent solo career, has spent the past eight years performing for stadiums of preteen and teenage girls.

As artists of the reggaeton and Latin-trap genres join the ranks at the top of the charts, alternative-Latin acts such as Monsieur Periné are garnering renewed attention in their own right.
For decades, Dave Daniels, the original owner of Little Haiti’s Churchill’s Pub, lived in a quaint house behind the bar. Just outside his window, live music wailed, drunken lovers humped on his washing machine, and petty fights raged. Daniels has moved on from his life in Lemon City. But his former abode will temporarily serve as a pop-up shop for work by Ahol Sniffs Glue. The artist is bringing his Cyber Trap Boutique from the internet to the real world. And in proper Miami fashion, he’s also bringing the party with his recognizable merchandise.

Whether your style is more Latinurbano or alterlatino, expect these artists to keep you dancing.

Early last month, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions made it a federal offense for immigrants to cross the American border where there are no checkpoints.

Musicians not named Adele make most of their money from touring, not singles and albums. But Josh Gabriel and Dave Dresden came up with a clever way to fund the 12 tracks on their latest album, The Only Road.
LGBTQ fans have long played a crucial role in the careers of pop stars, but artists have not always returned the favor. Tour mates Harry Styles and Kacey Musgraves are rewriting the rules about how queer communities and identities should be approached within the mainstream medium of pop music.
Dua Lipa is best known for last summer’s infectious breakout single “New Rules.” The song has thus far spent 43 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, is a bona fide earworm, and is, frankly, solid relationship advice. Ignoring drunk phone calls from exes is always a good idea and one that so many of us fail to remember.
The project is very much a product of living in London — a claustrophobic city, in Edmund Kenny’s estimation, a place where it’s easy to feel faceless among the masses.
At home in the Bronx, the legendary pianist, bandleader, and composer Eddie Palmieri rewinds to childhood. He was born in 1936 on East 112th Street in New York City, where Spanish Harlem, or El Barrio, meets Central Harlem. Palmieri reminisces about playing stickball with his pals to the soundtrack of…
The free party offers one of the founders of Joy Division and New Order, Peter Hook, who will perform with his band the Light. Respectable Street owner Rodney Mayo explains why this booking is a personal triumph. “I am the biggest Joy Division fan. I’ve been trying to get Peter Hook to play for 30 years,” he says. Now that’s commitment.

To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Black Tide’s debut album, Kendall’s biggest metal band will reunite June 2 at Churchill’s Pub. For now, it’s a one-time gig, bassist Zakk Sandler explains. “People keep asking if we’re going to play more shows or if we’re going to do a record. No. We’re going to play this show, and then we’ll go from there.”
L.A.-based rockers make music with very little wasted motion, instrumentally or lyrically — they get to the point.
“Having a beach in your backyard” is what novelist and New Times contributor David Rolland loved most about growing up on Key Biscayne in the ’80s and ’90s. It was a time of transition on the then-underdeveloped key. Original Mackle houses were being demolished and McMansions being built. A hint of wild, empty land…
Yesterday the Fort Lauderdale music venue Revolution Live issued a news release announcing an act called Debaser will play there Thursday, June 21. Ever heard of Debaser? Me neither. But because “Debaser” is the name of one of my favorite songs by the Pixies, I scrolled down the screen, eager for more info. Under the “who” subheading of the news release, where normally every facet of a band’s existence is usually recounted, all it said was: “DEBASER – A CULT BAND!”
The Canadian pop-country singer known for her girl-power anthems, tragic childhood, and “perfect” face, Shania Twain, recently said in an interview with the Guardian that if she were a U.S. citizen, she would have cast a ballot for known pervert Donald Trump. “I would have voted for him because…
It’s shaping up to be another wet week in South Florida, so you’ll probably want to prioritize indoor shows.
