Girls who rock…plus Johnny.Alright, if you’re not headed up to FLIFF tonight to catch Radioboxer at Cinema Paradiso, but you are in the mood for a little local rocking this weekend, there’s a simple solution. It involves floors covered in a perpetual sheen of freshly spilt beer, a haze of…
via Flickr user xshotbymkTonight: The new jam capital of the world, Broward County, welcomes The Radiators to Culture Room. Peaches, who is probably the polar opposite of every jam band ever, is playing Revolution Live. Surf rockers Cutback are playing a rum fueled show at Mai Kai tonight, and reggae…
We checked them out in the studio and then followed their adventures on their latest national tour… So Crossfade fully recommends Jacobs Ladder’s EP release party tonight at, of course, Churchill’s. Yes, this kicks off another tour, this time around the Southeast and a little bit up the East Coat,…
The Miami-based, 26-year-old Rico Love is quietly becoming one of the industry’s most sought-after R&B and pop arrangers and songwriters. Starting out in his early 20s as a rapper in Atlanta, he got his real boost when, as a performer, Usher signed him to his J Records imprint. And while…
Santigold: She’s a lady.Last time Santigold (a.k.a., Santi White, formerly Santogold) was in Miami, she played at Ultra Music Festival back in March. Unfortunately, she was relegated to an early slot on the first day of the festival, so she played to a sparse crowd. We missed her set all…

William Murderface, Skwisgaar Skwigelf, Nathan Explosion, Pickles, and Toki WartoothLate Generation X’ers and Gen Y blasted the notion that cartoons are only for kids. Maybe we didn’t want to grow up, or maybe we just didn’t want to trade creativity and imagination for the drudgery of every-day adulthood. Either way mature…
Is it just me or does it seem like there’s a whole lot going on this weekend? This time of year always gets a bit crazy, I suppose. Thanksgiving (and Black Friday) is just a couple weeks away. Holidays and holiday parties right around the corner after that. Art Basel…
The Lilith Fair has officially announced 18 dates for 2010, none of which include South Florida. But for the last three years, we’ve had our own all-women’s music fest. FemmeFest has hosted xx-staples like Zombies! Organize!!, Astari Nite, and The State Of in the past. This year the two-day fest…
via myspace.com/ridersofallahYussuf JerusalemWe loved the So Raw festival, and it’s heartening to know the cool people behind it have organized a couple shows since then. I’m happy to report this small trend is combining with that of the latest re-discovery of the American Legion Bar, in Legion Park on Biscayne…
via Flickr user whoSHOTyah?Like hip-hop and country music? You’re in luck with today’s concert announcements then. The New Boyz, creators of what might be the most annoying chorus in the history of music “You’re a Jerk” have been tapped to open for Chris Brown. The show takes place on November…
Buddy Guy plays the Arsht Center.Blues badass Buddy Guy — along with Big Easy piano man Dr. John — performs Friday at the Knight Concert Hall at the Arsht Center. A huge influence on Eric Clapton and countless others, Guy continues to elate audience members with his guitar heroics at the…
via myspace.com/ycentertainmentThe last time New Times caught up to Dainamite, Miami’s hardest-working reggaeton artist was bouncing back and forth between a seminar called “A Millionaire’s Approach” (where he was the lone invited performer) and American Tévé (where he was about to make his third appearance in as many weeks). Well,…
photo by Ben ThackerLanzallamas Monofonica play the Rhythm Foundation stage.Sleepless Night returns this Saturday to Miami Beach. Staying up all night there is nothing new, but the event is way more high-falutin’, asking you to stay awake for things like opera and experimental dance. That can seem like a tall…
Peaches has, among other things, a (relatively) new LP (I Feel Cream), a new clip (for the song “Take You On”), a new band (the Berlin-based Sweet Machines), and a new tour. That last one brings her to Revolution this Friday, November 6. It also gave New Times a chance…
When an artist is utterly outspoken about herself, it’s hard to resist trying to goad her into saying a little bit more. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. Or sometimes it doesn’t work before it works. Take, for example, Peaches. The Canadian electroclash superstar and all-around provocateur has never had…
If websites like Hipster Runoff have taught us anything, it’s that when the alt community comes together for a “meaningful” experience, it can be a beautiful thing. It seemed like all of hipsterdom, both local and foreign, was at one of two related places Halloween night: OHWOW, or Our House…
New Orleans has always been a bit of a melting pot. From language to food to culture, it’s a place where combination and commingling are the rule rather than the exception. This fact is as true of New Orleans’ musical history as of anything else, and few bands encapsulate the…
Hailing from Leeds, England, 2020 Soundsystem is a quartet that puts the “disco” in disconnected. The combined effort of Danny “Dubble D” Ward, Ralph Lawson, Fernando Pulichino, and Julian Sanza, the group produces tracks that are diffused with dub but still punctuated with physical triggers. The group invites you to…
You already know Sander Kleinenberg’s music, although you may not be aware of that fact. You probably first heard it at a certain Park West nightclub at 8 a.m. while rolling so hard that you actually thought you were in Ibiza. But you weren’t in Ibiza — Kleinenberg’s track came…
It’s enough to make metalhead purists wail and gnash their teeth. Half of the producer/DJ duo Mixhell is Iggor Cavalera, who cofounded seminal Brazilian groove-metal act Sepultura when he was just 15 years old. For the next 20 years, he toured the world and sold out stadiums as the band’s…
It’s entirely possible, unless you reside in Little Buenos Aires (right up there between North and South Beach… where Las Vacas Gordas throws down!), that you’re unfamiliar with Damas Gratis. Hailing from Argentina, the eight-piece band has never been to Miami before. But these guys have been putting together some…
