What’s Ladytron up to these days?

The band’s last album was 2011’s Gravity the Seducer, with little else being released since. But every now and then, a…

“Yet again,” to paraphrase Foster the People, “you’re hustling, hustling, hustling.” Thankfully, the FTP dudes are quite familiar with the pain of “Life on the Nickel.” They know what it’s like when you “can’t seem to catch a dime.” And that’s why they, along with the Fillmore Miami Beach and…
What do matching tattoos, gay porn, and local DJ Adrianna “Gooddroid” Moschides have in common? It takes a little of all three to tell the tale of her label, Loveless Records. “This story is awesome,” she says, turning the clock back to 2011. Back then, she was busy casting and…
What’s it like partying with 134,000 of your closest friends?

Although The Galactic Effect has only been around since early 2014, his impact on Miami’s music scene has already been felt. Determined not to be another faceless producer in a sea of EDM-crazed Miamians, he combines aspects of classical music with futuristic bass and old-school hip-hop. His unique mix of…
Teengirl Fantasy With Hoody Pérez Art Museum Miami Thursday, June 19, 2014 It was a grey, rainy Thursday evening, and garbage bags dangled precariously from the keyboards, mixers, and samplers of avant-pop duo Teengirl Fantasy.

Seventeen years after keyboardist Sarah Barthel and guitarist Josh Carter met in junior high in upstate New York, the duo are still making music together as Phantogram. “I was listening to boy bands, a lot of Top 40 stuff, but also Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Missy Elliott, and Outkast,” Barthel says,…

Cut Copy With Classixx Grand Central, Miami Wednesday, June 18, 2014 Better Than: Yes. No. Maybe. Cut Copy’s Dan Whitford really gets into his music. His voice is always studio quality, as he pumps his fist and jabs the air with every beat. It’s hard not to follow his lead…
The Crumbs have been around for almost 20 years in one shape or another. Fronted by Raf Classic, whose Latin-inflected nasal snarl is widely recognized as one of the best voices in the realm of punk rock ‘n’ roll, The Crumbs have been relatively quiet since he relocated to Los…
