With a veritable tsunami of unclassifiable dubby breakbeat flooding the international scene right now, it’s easy for music critics to lump the entire mishmash under the dubstep genre. But don’t even think about calling Mount Kimbie dubstep. Their sound has more in common with the musique concrète of early 20th…

While we were all raving at Bicentennial Park this past weekend, Miami’s most generous couple, Patricia and Phillip Frost, donated $35 million toward the construction of the new Miami Science Museum to be erected adjacent to the Miami Art Museum in what is presently known as Bicentennial Park.If you attended…
Creep Guirdo is one of those musical aberrations that occurs from time to time. Unintentionally funny due to being a German national of Hialeah descent, he’s largely been the figurehead for local disco rock ‘n’ rollers Pool Party. He recently sat down with us in preparation for April Pool’s Day…
The World/Inferno Friendship Society is a punk cabaret ensemble. (The word ensemble not used lightly as the band can sometimes swell up to a dozen members.) And it has nurtured an international cult following that goes back to the early ’90s. World Inferno, a common abbreviation for the group’s lengthy…
The Magic City isn’t exactly known as a rock music hub. And in a town like this one, where traditional live venues are uncommon and turntable virtuosos are frequently in higher demand than musicians of the guitar-wielding, drumstick-spinning variety, it’s hardly fair to expect the kind of noise that’s made…
Few reggaeton artists possess the suave flow required to believably move from spraying gasolina to romancing the masses. But Tony Dize doesn’t consider himself a mere reggaetonero. He’s “the melody of the streets,” a ponytailed Don Juan who harmonizes, rap-sings, and straddles the line between lusty romance and nasty raunchiness…
Ex Norwegian really had its shit together. Two critically acclaimed albums, viral videos, national tours, corporate sponsors, and an innovative sound … But this past weekend the local indie-pop quintet decided to call it quits for good, playing a farewell show called The Last Tango at the Stage on March…
OK, so we’re not really that excited about Britney Spears’s hot new album Femme Fatale. Or her 11-city North American tour. Or even her local gig at the American Airlines Arena. The multiple exclamation points were gratuitous and cheap. But when a former pop tart goes bonkers, flashes crotch at…
The Dyslexic Postcards have been around in one way, shape, or form for a long time now. And their particular breed of rock ‘n’ roll via the acid wash of alt-psych, punk, blues, and New Wave inflections are the makings of a love-’em-or-hate-’em type of band. Regardless of which, the…
Miami Chum Bucket, a DIY punk venue, distro, and practice space, held its inaugural event this past Saturday night. The show was free and the lineup featured all of the key South Florida punk bands that have played a role in the space’s emergence. In the course of extended fundraising,…
For the last four years, the folks at Sixthman have steamed out to sea with the annual Cayamo Cruise, a week-long luxury vacation that also happens to be a seven-day music festival. Last Thursday, organizers announced that the fifth annual edition of Cayamo will take place February 5 to 12,…
Rachel Goodrich The Stage March 25, 2011 Better Than: Drinking Jim Beam and getting arrested for kicking and breaking a glass door. This reporter (and the rest of the world) loves you so much, Rachel Goodrich…
Sure, there weren’t hundreds of thousands of people at the opening of Chum Bucket, Miami’s newest DIY punk venue. But there were hundreds.And if you think a warehouse show in Allapattah don’t mean shit on Ultra weekend then keep scrolling fucko, this post ain’t for you.Saturday night, the new spot…
Miami, couldn’t get enough of Hard’s measly one-day event at Grand Central last week? Well, you’re in luck! Hard is returning to South Florida in January 2012 with its first-ever Hard Cruise!We noticed flyers scattered around the city during Miami Music Week promoting the Hard Cruise. But we’ve received confirmation…
