Jump around! House of Pain’s touring again. And on April 1, Everlast and Danny Boy are going to jump up, jump up, and get down with you at LIV. Earlier this month, two-thirds of Pain’s original lineup (DJ Lethal’s out working on a new Limp Bizkit record) kicked off a cross-country…
If you missed out on last year’s Sweatstock, Sweat Records’ birthday bash and Record Store Day celebration, you’re gonna want to make time for this year’s event. The Little Haiti store has announced the first phase of the lineup for its April 16 bash. The outside stage returns this year –…
Who are Miami Chum Bucket and what are they doing in Allapattah? They are house punks, skaters, workers, drifters, schoolies, and grads. They are dropouts, misfits, fuck-ups, uglies, and normals. They are players, haters, riders, and sliders. They are secretaries, architects, assistant managers, and thugs. They are lovers, fighters, rockers,…
Chris Brown’s new album, F.A.M.E., is out today, and so is part of a window at Good Morning America’s New York City studio. Various sources are reporting that the 21-year-old pop-star-with-major-anger-issues went all Chris Brown on a window, smashin’ that bitch after becoming enraged during an on-air interview with GMA’s…

That said, these guys (in particular longtime frontman Joshua Xmas) put that seed of corruption into my teenage mind many, many…
We don’t like to admit it. But sometimes we here at Crossfade screw up. The most recent example: In an item on the Pretty Lights Showcase from last week’s special New Times Miami Music Guide 2011, we stated that Derek Vincent Smith’s party at the Fillmore Miami Beach had “sold…
Boomers, halt! There’s no need to spend the next 29 hours swaddling yourself in a million chiffon scarves or feathering, highlighting, mousseing, and teasing your hair in deference to Witchy Stevie and ol’ Rod the Bod. Tomorrow night’s Heart and Soul Tour nostalgia session starring Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart…
Hesychia Involuted Departure (Self-released) There’s something poetic and soft about Patrick Norris’ Hesychia. But it’s also laced with obfuscation and subterfuge. On the surface, there is a desolate landscape of industry’s wrath. Yet upon careful inspection, really diving into the minutia of the minimalist guitar instrumentals within these sixteen-odd minutes,…
How many Dutch DJs, producers, and dance music fans does it take to get a major airline to completely re-route its flight plans? The answer: About 150 of them, plus the power of Twitter and the co-sign of Dutch dance music god Tiësto himself. On the Wednesday of the sprawling…
If you’re in Austin checking out SXSW, you might be in the mood to see some familiar faces. And if you aren’t there, join the club. But it’s worth mentioning that Miami residents are being well represented by some of our favorite local sons, including Grammy-nominated crew, Locos Por Juana.Locos…
Mr. Luther Campbell has always had some pretty radical ideas. Of course, he was once part of that filthy little hip-hop trio called 2 Live Crew, which earned him and his homies serious heat from the American Family Association for supremely sexed-up lyrics like: “Girls always ask me why I…
