The godfathers of nu metal, Korn, have had so much fun celebrating their 20th anniversary they’ve decided to take a victory lap through their 22nd year, playing their debut self-titled album front to back at the Fillmore Miami Beach this Friday. “I think this is a once-in-a-lifetime event for our…

Another III Points has come and gone, and I’m still trying to find my lost innocence voice. The Wynwood-based music, art, and technology fest was bigger, bolder, and had Miami going harder than ever before. It’s going to take more than ten hours of sleep to shake this social hangover,…

Casey Veggies is not a new name. The 22-year-old rapper popped up on radars as a member of the Odd Future crew in 2007. According to math, he was 14 when he began releasing mixtapes, and he stayed heavy buzzing through 2013, releasing seven hot tapes. In 2014, he made…

When I was little, Goths listened to Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the Cure. They wore black lipstick and ripped fishnets and their hair wasn’t quite brushed. That was definitely cool. But then when I was in high school, the term Goth was suddenly used to describe the followers of Marilyn…

Feet were sore. Heads hurt. It was the last leg of a long race, but Sunday’s III Points lineup — which featured Bomba Estéreo, Damian Lazarus & the Ancient Moons, and King Krule among others — gave attendees just enough juice to get over the hill. III Points finished its third and biggest…

With names like Run the Jewels, Toro Y Moi, AlunaGeorge, Ghostface Killah and Doom, the second day of III Points was stacked. There was something to listen to in every direction you faced, and good music was never more than thirty yards away. The crowd was big and eager on…

“What does ‘live from the Other Side’ mean?” That was the question on the collective mind as hundreds of eager Super Villain fans gathered anxiously around III Points’ Main Frame stage. Everyone was eagerly anticipating some kind of Ghostface Killah/MF Doom double-performance, though no one had any idea how III…

On Friday, October 9, as the skies above Wynwood opened up and bled down upon the colorful neighborhood, we feared the worst. So much anticipation and preparation was being threatened by a few bloated clouds. But, as the clock struck 5, the sun emerged, all hot and glorious. God loves…

The last thing Ross LaBrie needs to be doing on this Tuesday night is giving some reporter a tour of the Mana Wynwood compound. He has three more days until thousands of music-hungry festival-goers will be walking in to witness sets by Nicolas Jaar, Panda Bear, Run the Jewels, AlunaGeorge,…

When an excursion identifies itself as a “Cruise to the Edge,” it doesn’t exactly bode well for its final destination. But when the voyage is also identified with a band like Yes, whose work include the album from which the cruise takes its name, Close to the Edge, suddenly the…

Fudakochi has always believed he was living on a different planet. The Overtown native didn’t talk for the first seven years of his life, and instead watched everything revolve past him like a movie. Then, as his mother tells it, on his seventh birthday he uttered his first word: “disappear.”…

For a while there, it looked like we may never hear Will Smith rap again. The man who successfully welcomed us to Miami before instructing us in the art of gettin’ jiggy has been musically silent for the last decade. Perhaps his movie career got in the way, or changing…

So you’re planning on attending III Points this week. You probably can’t wait to check out sets by Damian Lazarus, Nicolas Jaar, and Ghostface Killah and Doom, who will be appearing “live from the other side.” However, if you’re only going to III Points for the headliners, you’d be doing yourself…

Ten albums and more than 20 years later, the party hasn’t stopped for the Venezuelan group Los Amigos Invisibles, which has graced stages in 60-plus countries worldwide since its inception. Made up of vocalist Julio Briceño, percussionist Mauricio Arcas, bassist José Rafael Torres, and drummer Juan Manuel Roura, the band…

Alan Palomo’s new album as Neon Indian, Vega Intl. Night School, came close to never happening. In 2011, the Texan synth-pop producer’s laptop was stolen on the mean streets of NYC after a late night of debauchery during his Era Extraña album tour. “It’s pretty much the most VH1 Behind…
