Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Churchill’s Pub can be a hit-or-miss proposition. The venue is so willing to book new and unproven rock bands that its shows sometimes turn into amateur hour — at annoyingly high decibels. But the upcoming show headlined by one-time local stars The Stop Motion is a must-see. Backing them up are two bands, Humbert and the Van Orsdels, with entirely disparate approaches to busting loose: the former power poppy, the latter dark and brawling. Others set to appear include Chicago’s Bang Bang, the self-described “sex rock band”; Palm Beach pop-rockers Missing Picket; and Brooklyn punk band Friendly Fire. It’s all in the name of sterling bartenders Nicky and Lisa’s shared birthday.
