The first time Eclectic Overdrive’s Adam put on a show at the now shuttered, all-ages Pembroke Pines venue Talent Farm in 2012, it was packed with people who didn’t typically attend live music events. The popularity of that night was a sign that Adam, whose last name is Arritola but goes…
Few times and settings in rock history have as deep a mythology as the Sunset Strip of the late 1980’s. As lead singer for L.A. Guns, Phil Lewis had a front row seat for all the guitar solos and debauchery. “It was like I died and had gone to heaven…

Where were you last year when Hurricane Matthew rained on III Points’ parade? Were you prepping for a hurricane party? Gearing up for whatever was left of the fest? Well, LCD Soundsystem had to cancel its headlining set at Mana Wynwood because the storm stranded the band.
It has been 20 years since the tragic and untimely death of one of hip-hop’s figureheads, the Notorious B.I.G. If hip-hop had a Mount Rushmore, Biggie’s face would be one of the first carved into it. Reflecting on his influence on today’s hip-hop titans such as Jay Z, and the…
This week, American Airlines Arena will collapse with so much Miami-ness under one roof. That’s because Mr. Worldwide, AKA Mr. 305, Pitbull will share the stage with Spanish-born, Miami-raised singer Enrique Iglesias. Will the duo set off an implosion of neon and tropical heat? Probably.
And at the center of the spotlight is an EDC muse known as MsEasy

If you’re driving west on 29th Street from North Miami Avenue, the street murals, galleries, and design shops of Wynwood abruptly give way to the body shops, warehouses, and pawn shops of Allapattah.

We certainly attract our fair share of triple-A acts (many of whom end up performing at the AAA), such as Kanye West, Beyoncé, and Chance the Rapper.

Counter Corner has been a staple of Miami’s queer community for more than two years. The third Sunday of every month at the Corner, the party constantly spilled into the streets like beer from a tipsy reveler’s cup. That was reason enough for its organizers — Sleeper, Juleisy, and Karla — to think about expanding. Now the team has moved the event to the nearby venue 1306. And that’s not the only change.
In 2015, Mexican singer-songwriter Natalia Lafourcade’s sixth studio album, Hasta la Raiz, won five Latin Grammys, more than anyone else. Unlike some winners who let their trophies collect dust in a dark corner, Lafourcade proudly displays them.

In a 2016 YouTube video, Chris Stewart is a heavy-metal god performing in a small club. Playing bass in front of his own large shadow, the 41-year-old artist casually shapes the pinkie and pointer fingers on his fretboard-caressing left hand into the “rock on” horns familiarized by Dio and Sabbath…

Add the band Jaialai as another name to know in Miami’s rock scene. The four-piece is set to release its debut EP, When I’m on the Run, June 14. It will include three songs that are chill enough to serve as background music but also groovy enough to be the centerpiece of a listening party.
