Matt and Kim
Some of the best music presented this week comes courtesy of the ongoing Converse-sponsored Kill Your Idols
event in the Design District. An ode to current movers and shakers
keeping the original punk spirit alive (albeit in mutated, advanced
forms), the space features a photo exhibit by Eileen Polk, as well as
flyers, posters, and various limited-edition goodies. Oh yeah - and a
totally free, open to the public show every night at 9 p.m. Up first
tonight is the Frisco trio Nodzzz,
loveably sloppy but influenced by the biting power pop edge of groups
like the Buzzcocks. The draw for most on Thursday, Dec. 4, though, are Matt and Kim, the Brooklyn-based dancey, punky pair who appear to be the happiest musicians ever.
Free and open to the public; 9 p.m.; the Marcy Building, 3852 N. Miami Ave., Miami; www.killyouridols.com
