In Miami, we don't have to wait for the weekend to rock our stilettos, put on our little black dress, and party. That's because star-studded, vodka-fueled bashes seem to appear out of nowhere almost every night of the week.

Guess that must be why they call us the Magic City. Just check out the six best parties to crash this week.

Hard Rock Sofa. With Dave Sol. Thursday, January 23, 11 p.m., LIV, 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; 305-674-4680; livnightclub.com. Tickets cost $30-$40 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. "Global domination is a time consuming affair," EDM duo Hard Rock Sofa writes on their official bio, "but not enough to slow down this mammoth Russian force." So brace yourself for a Russian invasion as the uhntz-uhntz czars kick off their U.S.A. tour at LIV.

BLOND:ISH. With Ms. Mada. Thursday, January 23, 11 p.m., Treehouse, 323 23rd St., Miami Beach; 305-614-4478; treehousemiami.com. Tickets cost $15 plus fees via wantickets.com. Ages 21 and up. Platinum-haired Anstascia D'elene and Vivie Ann Bakos are a couple of badasses. Known collectively as BLOND:ISH, the two perfectly combine sultry basslines with smooth, subtle vocals, and turn them into deep house masterpieces. That's what we like to call blonde ambition.
