So, who the (@#*& is Mumiy Troll, you ask? Oh, just Crossfade’s favorite discovery since Monday. Here are some essential amazing things you need to know about this Russian foursome: They are one of the biggest bands in their homeland; although it’s okay if you have never, ever heard of them…
All Tomorrow’s Parties — or rather, the American spinoff of the original English festival — may get a little less hype than the other blockbuster summer festivals in this country, but it’s one of the best going. That’s because rather than just splatter the latest hype bands across a bunch…
We’ve all been there: There’s a really cool music documentary that’s just been released, and it’s not showing anywhere in Miami — or worse, it’s only being screened one day and at one time, which aren’t really convenient. Luckily, this time around the Internet’s making real-life geography irrelevant.Recently we’ve seen…
Kristopher Huseby of Fireside Social fame is probably one of the better drummers we have down here, and it turns out he can pluck the bass and sing pretty well to boot. Enter Bulletproof Tiger, his latest, excellent project. The band just released its debut EP, Starving Hearts, which upholds…
Surfer Blood, if you are going to vow never to play a venue again, you might want to stick to your word — otherwise someone’s going to call you out.Let us rehash the night that Surfer Blood played Poplife’s 11th anniversary party at Grand Central. The band members felt they…
Radioboxer, the Readers’ Choice winner for Best Band in New Times’ 2009 Best of Miami issue, is now up for national recognition. I, for one, feel it’s about time — and you can help the fivesome along by voting for them in the current Dame Un Break contest sponsored by…
One of the first Floridian punk rock bands that I grew to love was the Pink Lincolns. The snotty tirade that blasted over three separate Sumo Fumes seven-inch records defined my high school and early college years. Suck and Bloat, Back From the Pink Room, and Pure Swank solidified for…
We all heard electronic music legends Daft Punk were going to compose a full-length score for the movie Tron: Legacy last year, but we kind of took it with a grain of salt. I mean sure, Tron is all about robots, and some of the costumes look really similar to…
In 1992 the city of Los Angeles was besieged by thousands of rioters lashing out angrily against the verdict of the racially-charged Rodney King case. 15 years later, Southern Californian DJ/producers Daniel LeDisko and Jon Pegnato would, with no shortage of irony, dub themselves L.A. Riots in homage of this…
The Rising is a new event going down this Wednesday, July 28 at Transit Lounge in Brickell. Spearheaded by Last Rights Clothing, C-9 and Pyramid Builders, the event is a new monthly devoted solely to showcasing local hip-hop artists.The inaugural edition features performances by Ghostwridah, LMS, Murph and Saheed with…
It seems like the curse plaguing electronic music events took a vacation overseas to cause mayhem over at Germany’s Love Parade this weekend where 19 were killed after a stampede at the entrance of the event. Again, like Electric Daisy Carnival, organizers failed to provide adequate security and space for…
The sprawling event space Soho Studios, in the heart of Wynwood’s warehouse district, seems to be just made for massive, all-night parties. Still, the venue is cavernous indeed, and few promoters have been able to truly pack it into a critical crowd mass. So we salute the promoters of the Sunset…
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’ performer picks may seem, they never devolve into the kind of clatter, of say, “experimental noise” or whatever else along…
You might well be one of a large constituency who’s already had in reserve your tickets to one of Roger Water’s two shows this November 13 and 14 at the BankAtlantic Center for a few months now. Hell, you might be one of those who’s diligently procured some sort of…
— While Rick Ross’ album Teflon Don has definitely built up an insane amount of buzz over the past few months, the album was finally released this past Tuesday amidst a couple local festivities to help bring in Ross’ fourth major label effort. Even though the music industry in general…
It’s been a banner year for La Roux, who has gone from hipster favorite stateside to somewhat unlikely mainstream crossover. (Really — “Bulletproof” has been in heavy rotation on local pop station Y100 for a minute now.) Still, the whirlwind of touring and activity can wear on someone, and unfortunately,…
Known for taking up your airwaves everyday at 5:00 PM for WEDR’s Drive At 5 mix, DJ Entice has been a South Florida mainstay for many years now. He caused a little bit of chaos a couple weeks ago when he exclusively premiered the unofficial, yet street-official Miami heat anthem…
Grateful Dead fans can now rejoice! Jerry Garcia is making it to the big screen. Well, sort of. The late Jerry Garcia that we’ve all heard of or grown up listening to will not make it to the big screen himself, for obvious reasons. Neither will the persona that we’ve…
If you haven’t caught Bachaco live, you’re missing out. Sure, you might be following them on Twitter, or friends with them on Facebook. Or maybe you sit at work jamming to tracks off their Myspace page. But the fact is, very simply, if you aren’t catching them live, you are…
Club Space will close its doors after Labor Day Weekend for renovations. The infamous land of early – morning fist – pumping will be using the holiday weekend to host two “Closing Parties” before an indefinite hiatus. Space’s web site announced the closing with a newspaper-style statement, claiming the temporary closing…
Well, it seems that Miami’s most famous Colombian resident is once again making waves, and this time it has nothing to do with heated debate over Juanes’ well-meaning Peace Without Borders concert in Cuba (which didn’t go quite as planned). It’s not even about the release of his upcoming and…
The 28-year-old chanteuse Cat Shell had it right when she titled her debut album Cat’s Outta The Bag. Anyone who’s heard or seen her is no doubt in on it. Sure, Cat’s a true beauty, with all-American, girl next door good looks (if you happen to be a lucky neighbor)…
