— While Rick Ross’ album Teflon Don has definitely built up an insane amount of buzz over the past few months, the album was finally released this past Tuesday amidst a couple local festivities to help bring in Ross’ fourth major label effort. Even though the music industry in general…
It’s been a banner year for La Roux, who has gone from hipster favorite stateside to somewhat unlikely mainstream crossover. (Really — “Bulletproof” has been in heavy rotation on local pop station Y100 for a minute now.) Still, the whirlwind of touring and activity can wear on someone, and unfortunately,…
Grateful Dead fans can now rejoice! Jerry Garcia is making it to the big screen. Well, sort of. The late Jerry Garcia that we’ve all heard of or grown up listening to will not make it to the big screen himself, for obvious reasons. Neither will the persona that we’ve…
Well, it seems that Miami’s most famous Colombian resident is once again making waves, and this time it has nothing to do with heated debate over Juanes’ well-meaning Peace Without Borders concert in Cuba (which didn’t go quite as planned). It’s not even about the release of his upcoming and…
Rick Ross fans turned out in droves to the Best Buy in Pembroke Pines Tuesday afternoon to get their copies of Teflon Don signed by the Don himself. The highly anticipated album hit stores Tuesday morning and was met by positive reviews and tons of celebrity endorsement. Despite the unyielding heat, hundreds…
Anyone that’s already gotten tickets for Crystal Castles’ performance at Grand Central on September 11, probably has an idea of what they’re getting themselves into. Sure, lead vocalist of the electronic dance duo, Alice Glass, has a tendency to drunkenly stumble on stage and slur her words while she’s performing,…
Okay, we get it, Drake. You’re good looking. You give us those smoldering glances and tell us we’re the “best you ever had,” and we melt. But you may have pushed the wrong buttons, now. The singer’s caused riots, controversies, lawsuits with Playboy, and now well, he’s just plain old…
As we type this, Rick Ross’ Teflon Don has only officially been available since whatever time your local music-selling store opened. The national press is already weighing in with reviews, though, and so far they’re pretty positive. (Most of the music-buying and downloading public will probably choose to decide for themselves,…
This past June, Miami New Times awarded John “Somejerk” Gregory our nod for Best New Electronica Artist. That was, perhaps, something of a misnomer — Somejerk’s been doing his thing on the scene for a minute, but the past year or so is when he’s finally gotten enough deserved credit. While…
Here’s another summer ticket deal from Live Nation. Starting at 12:01 a.m. tonight/tomorrow morning (technically Wednesday, July 21) and running until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday night, you can score $10 tickets for a handful of South Florida shows. That includes all fees and taxes, no catch — and while a couple are…
Today is all about the @rickyrozay madness! Yes, it’s the much-anticipated official release day of Rick Ross’ new album, Teflon Don. He’s got a serious track record to live up to: All of his previous albums, 2006’s Port of Miami, 2008’s Trilla, and 2009’s Deeper Than Rap all entered the Soundscan…
Wrekonize has had an incredible roller-coaster of a career over the last decade. His earliest claim to fame stemmed from appearances on the now-infamous MTV Battles, which then led to a multi-year stint with now-defunct Miami record label South Beat Records. During his time on South Beat, Wrekonize was able…
— Pitbull (pictured on the right with his artist Nayer) walked the red blue carpet and performed last night at the Premios Joventud that aired live from the BankUnited Center located at the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus. He didn’t win any awards, but most of everybody who watched…
You’ve probably heard — no, you have heard — Katy Perry’s inescapable new collaboration with Snoop Dogg, the catchy, Dr. Luke-created “California Gurls.” And though Floridians can relate a lot to some of Perry’s lyrics about sunny weather and girls in bikinis, we can’t really call it our own personal…
Insomniac Events, organizer of the Electric Daisy Carnival in Los Angeles, released a statement today saying all its future events would be strictly enforced as 18 and over.”Effective immediately, Insomniac has also established an ’18 and older’ policy for all of the company’s dance music festivals until such time as…
Albert CastigliaKeeping On (Blues Leaf Records)albertcastiglia.comThose familiar with Albert Castiglia’s frenetic local live performances generally get the impression that the guitarist only operates in a playful mode, whether he’s segueing into a string of obscure oldies or wandering out to the curb while flailing away undeterred. However, his recorded offerings…
We all miss Heath Ledger. The Academy Award-winning actor wooed us in 10 Things I Hate About You, and shocked us with his performances in Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. Now his legacy lives on, as a rap video he directed for old friend N’FA has just been released…
Yes, it was a total bummer this past May when U2 was forced to postpone its local Miami show at Sun Life Stadium, originally scheduled for July 9. Can’t blame them, though: Frontman Bono underwent emergency back surgery this past May, with a required eight-week recovery period. It wasn’t just…
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh. Triple word score. The Miami Heat are gonna have Biscayne Boulevard locked up bumper to bumper. The Metrorail, bus, and Metromover are gonna be packed like sardine cans, the parking lot bums are gonna get paid better than we do, and the city’s gonna…
Yes, we mean that Robert Pattinson, a.k.a. R. Pattz, a.k.a. Edward Cullen. We’re not exactly sure what would happen if Twi-hards and Nirvana grungers were to battle it out, but now thanks to Pattinson, we know that vampires pack a mean bite.It all started when rumors surfaced this past April…
When your most popular single is practically your native country’s second national anthem, I guess it’s safe to say you’ve made it. But then, Diego Torres had pretty much made it once he released his eponymous debut in 1992, which eventually hit triple platinum in his homeland of Argentina. Joined in…
Award season may be well behind us, but then, Univision doesn’t really know the meaning of the word “season” does it? After all, between the Latin Grammies, Lo Nuestro, Juventud and possibly a few others we’re forgetting, they seem to air one a week. Still, this one–Premio Juventud, for those…
