Marc Anthony at American Airlines Arena

What do you do once you have a handful of Grammys? When you’re not only the first solo salsa star to sell out Madison Square Garden — even though the venue is situated in the seat of Nuyorican salsa, courtesy of Héctor Lavoe, Willie Colón, and Celia Cruz — but…

Dennis Ferrer at Mansion

The golden era of house music came and went with the early-’80s-to-early-’90s heyday of pioneering legends such as Frankie Knuckles, Steve Hurley, and Larry Heard. But with his grasp on the soulful essence and rhythms of classic house, there’s no denying that DJ-producer Dennis Ferrer is carrying the torch into…

The Drums and Surfer Blood at Grand Central

The last time Surfer Blood was in Miami, the local crew caused a stir, swearing it’d never again play Grand Central. Now only a few months later, the group has made amends and scheduled a return to the downtown venue, this time with Brooklyn indie-poppers the Drums. Surfer Blood is…

Toro y Moi at Electric Pickle

In contrast to Washed Out’s idyllic, well-manicured Life of Leisure, the first full-length, Causers of This, from Toro y Moi (AKA Chaz Bundick) is an intentionally chaotic affair. But it turns out that chillwave, even in deconstructed form, has its virtues. Though Causers is an undeniably piecemeal assemblage, there’s something…

Señor Stereo at Grand Central

Señor Stereo is what you get when you put together a Kendall boy and two Midwesterners. Individually, Danny Daze, Gigamesh, and Joe Maz have accomplished a lot, but it only gets better when they churn out disco-house tracks together. “We all have the same style, and we feed each other…

Brit band James at Culture Room

While never commandeering the charts…

UM Alum Phil Jacobson Performs at Transit Lounge Tonight

Alright, Jacory Harris isn’t getting any fruit baskets this week. But don’t lose faith in the U just yet. And while we’re telling you to keep supporting the Canes, how about supporting a Hurricane alum? No, Michael Irvin won’t be live at Jazid this weekend. And no, Gino Torretta isn’t…

Father Damian and Fucked Up Explode Ears at Churchill’s

Fucked Up With Neon Blud and Jacuzzi Boys Churchill’s Pub Tuesday, September 14, 2010 Better than: Bleeding from your eyes. It’s now eight and a half hours since Fucked Up played their last song. But still my hearing is dangerously (permanently?) damaged. Human voices sound like muffled, faraway echoes from…

Top 10 Murdered Musicians You’ve Never Heard Of

Dead rock stars are a dime a dozen. They usually drink themselves to death, overdose on narcotics, crash cars, or get on faulty aircrafts with drunk pilots on drugs who crash cars. But murdered musicians? That’s where it gets gruesome. Check out these 10 tales of death by murder…

Local Music: YNG – “Pit Stop”

Photo courtesy of Jahrue ​​It seems like YNG (pronounced Why-En-Gee) is the new kid on the block. The best way to describe him is that he’s a smooth type of emcee with a little consciousness mixed with a youthful frame of thought. He’s a new member of #TheNewMiami movement, and…
