Juliette Lewis Performs Live at Bardot August 26

I feel like we often ignore Bardot, even though it consistently has live music going on. But it’s just that the bookings aren’t always that compelling, but every now and then there’s a gem. This time it’s actress-turned-rocker Juliette Lewis who will be performing live at the Wynwood lounge August…

Recently, Wells tweeted an update saying, “The new @Rachel_Goodrich record is done!!! Can’t wait for peeps to…

Five Questions With The Waterford Landing’s Ed Matus

Ed Matus is a man many of you know. Some of us remember him fondly as the Cheers guy back in the day, some remember his ultra-loud racket with local outfit Subliminal Criminal, the jazzier extremes of indie rock with Swivelstick, or some maybe even remember him from his short…

Song Spotlight: Protoman – “Crazy” (Produced by E.R.)

Dade County and Broward County collaborate on this one. E.R. (of the Vagabonds) supplies the beat as Protoman supplies the vocals. You might know Protoman as being an underground staple in not only Broward and South Florida’s hip-hop scenes, but also nationally as he’s been well received around the country…

MP3: J. NiC$ – “Show You The Way”

J. Nic$ (pronounced jay-nix) has steadily been climbing the ranks of transitioning between being a emerging artist to becoming known as an established one. With a strong foundation, he’s poised to build a heavy presence in the hip-hop game in the near future. And with his new EP, The Stimulus…

Top Five Remixes by The Twelves, Spinning at Vagabond Saturday

Rio de Janeiro’s the Twelves have been called Brazil’s answer to Daft Punk. That assertion might be a little too far fetched, but there is no denying they are a talented duo both behind the decks and in the studio. As remixers, they instantly got everyone’s attention when they reworked…

Miami Heat’s Carlos Arroyo Releases Reggaeton Single

NBA players attempting to make a second career out of music aren’t exactly anything new. It’s been tried before–repeatedly–and often to catastrophic results. Consider San Antonio Spurs’ 2009 second round draft pick DeJuan Blair’s appearance on the P.O.P. (Chicken and Young Meez) track, “2 Hard Livin.” Or Big Diesel himself,…

Juan Basshead Named Top U.S. Dubstep Artist By Major U.K. Newspaper

Yesterday, the major U.K. newspaper The Sun ran a music trend piece whose thesis more or less deserves a resounding “Duh” from anyone around here. The headline: “Dubstep making leaps in the U.S.” Well, yeah. Anyone into electronic music in the States — like the thousands and thousands of people who crowded the…

Video: ANR “The Endless Field of Mercury”

I’m a little late to game on this, but last month ANR released a new music video for its track “The Endless Field of Mercury,” a very bold number that starts out slow but turn into sort of call-to-action after about a minute. Personally, I’ve always been sort of “meh”…

Fantasia Overdose Followed News of Affair Partially Set in Miami

Poor Fantasia. The erstwhile American Idol champion won fans and hearts on season three of that show with her squeaky, unusual voice and around-the-way appeal. Still, she was relatively public with her personal struggles, and then commercial breakout success didn’t really follow, either. Recently, she attempted a comeback through realty television, a…

We’ve hyped Jazid and MiamiAlterLatino.com’s collaborative effort to expand your party horizons until our fingers grew tired. In fact, we’ve even told you about Fiesta Argentina previously.So why bring it up again? Because we’d be remiss if we failed to mention the opportunity to catch some noteworthy live performances at…

NKOTB Cruise 2011 From Miami Announced; Tickets On Sale Friday

We love musical cruise season every winter. It brings such a random assortment of sea-bound voyages, from the by-now-an-institution Jam Cruise to our new favorite, the garage-rock-soul-themed Bruise Cruise. Well, here’s another somewhat unlikely hit trip that’s returning: The New Kids on the Block cruise! Haters be damned. Since reuniting in…
