This year has been good for old South Florida favorites reuniting, from Floor, to Timescape Zero, and now to Glasseater. (Could a Disney Violence reunion from those old and bald fucks be too far off into the future? Who knows!)On Saturday night, Glasseater will take the Churchill’s stage for the…
No, this isn’t the Latina La Roux, though admittedly her hair is funky and awesome. Karina Iglesias is a local girl. She’s sultry, smooth and soulful. And though she may not be what first comes to mind when you think of Miami’s live music scene, perhaps she too should have…
Okay, so we don’t think independent record stores in South Florida are going anywhere — hello, Sweatstock, Record Store Day — but that doesn’t mean they’re thriving everywhere else in the country. That’s what I Need That Record: The Death or Possible Survival of the Independent Record Store is out there…
Fat Joe’s new, 10th studio album, Darkside, Vol. 1, dropped just two days ago, but is already expected to debut in the Billboard 200. Why all the sales fuss over Jose’s latest? Well, it’s a return to his old, street-level form — a 180 from the continued attempts at pop…
If you ever enjoy seeing the city from two wheels, there are two things you should do tomorrow evening. One, join the Friday-night 305 Critical Mass ride (not to be confused with the other monthly Miami Critical Mass, ride which happens on Saturday mornings). Bring lights and don’t be an…
By now, anybody who knows me knows how much I love the titties, so much so that I generally waste away many a sentence with the beautiful English expression, “Ain’t that the tits!” That said, I’m gonna go ahead and lend my full support to Antisteez.com’s editrix Goobs and her…
Drummers sometimes get a bad rap, especially from comedians, for whatever reason. But I’ve been in bands and I know what an excruciating pain in the ass it is for drummers to 1) lug in their equipment often with little or no help, 2) keep that rhythm going regardless of…
Robert Plant and Band of Joy play Bayfront Park Amphitheater Saturday
DJ Obscene: A Miami hip-hop staple returns
This Thursday’s free show at Bar continues Roofless Records’ ongoing series at the venue showcasing the best of, well, the strange. That’s strangely good, though. No matter how left-field Roofless’s performer picks might seem, they never devolve into the kind of clatter of, say, experimental noise or whatever else along…
With his deep-voiced delivery, rough-hewn honesty, and laid-back swagger, rapper Freddie Gibbs offers the perfect amalgam of his Midwest roots and latter-day L.A. residence. As Gibbs’s recent single, “The Ghetto,” declares, he was raised in “the ghetto, the ghetto-ghetto” (in case there was any question) of Gary, Indiana, where corrupt…
In 2005, when Ke$ha was just a glimmer in the eye of the reality-TV wave, her random appearance on The Simple Life was a harbinger: Like Paris Hilton back then, Ke$ha rose earlier this year, seemingly out of nowhere, to startling ubiquity. By combining hard-house-appropriated dance pop with singsong-couplet rapping,…
Sprawling event space Soho Studios, in the heart of Wynwood’s warehouse district, seems to be tailor-made for massive, all-night parties. Indeed, few promoters have been able to truly pack the cavernous venue into a critical crowd mass. So we salute the promoters of the Sunset Music Festival for trying, and…
Crowded House plays at the Fillmore Miami Beach Thursday
The weekend has two stellar bookings in store for Miami’s techno heads: Tony Rohr at the Electric Pickle on Friday night and Alexi Delano at Space on Saturday. Brooklyn-based producer Tony Rohr boasts releases on esteemed labels like Cocoon, Clink, and Weave, and delivers a hard-hitting, industrial-tinged brand of techno live…
It wasn’t long ago that Toronto duo AutoErotique was known as VNDLSM, which closely resemble the name of another vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo. Perhaps it was because they signed to the Dim Mak label — also home to that other vowel-less Toronto DJ/producer duo — that the pair changed their…
The latest musician – turning – movie star is Rihanna. As soon as she finishes her Last Girl On Earth Tour, which lands in Miami this Saturday at the American Airlines Arena, she’s set to star in director Peter Berg’s (Hancock) film adaptation of that game we all loved as a kid: Battleship…
Just in time for the dog days of summer, here’s Kid Sister’s new candy-colored ode to rollerskating and junk food (mmm…. Chicago-style hot dogs). While other songs from her debut album, Ultraviolet, seemed to be aiming for straight-up pop styles, this jam, “Big N Bad,” goes back more towards her…
Make no mistake, Rick Ross’ Teflon Don is selling pretty briskly for a rap album that makes few pop concessions — especially in the dismal 2010 buying climate. But last week, the first of the album’s release, it seemed that Ricky Rozay might be able to knock Eminem’s Recovery out…
In this week’s print edition of the Miami New Times, we featured a Q&A with the legendary Robert Plant, who performs with his Band of Joy this Friday, July 30 at Bayfront Park Amphitheater. Still, as print is stuck being print, there was more Q&A that didn’t fit. Here is…
Another Wednesday in the summer, another $10 Live Nation ticket deal. The bad news: This deal only adds one concert to the list of shows that were discounted last week. The good news: If you still have a kid who wants to see Jonas Brothers, now’s your chance — again. Just…
The ongoing kickass series brought to you by the venerable SoBe live music haunt Jazid and MiamiAlterLatino.com continues to roll on, providing partygoers with a weekly passport to far off destinations.If you’ve been keeping track, you know that since tomorrow’s the last Thursday of the month, it’s time for Brazilian…
