Kevin RamirezMadMartigan and Furious Dudes are holding it down at a Rock Show® at PS 14 on Friday, April 10, 2009.

Screw a club or sucka lounge. Take it to the streets. Check this message from the Nightdrive crew. If it viralizes like they want, this won’t be the last you see or hear of it tonight. Can’t speak for the music, but hey it’s free and bottle specials are as cheap…

Originally from Buffalo, New York, in the late Eighties, Malevolent Creation flew south and quickly became ensconced in the Sunshine State’s hugely unlikely but now-legendary death metal scene. It quickly scored a coveted deal with Roadrunner Records, then the ultimate home for death metal, early grindcore, and thrash. Malevolent Creation…

This past November, Miami’s New World Symphony held its first miniconcerts at the Lincoln Theatre, and the sold-out crowd almost couldn’t believe its ears — or wallets. Works by Maurice Ravel, Aaron Copland, and Samuel Barber performed live, each for less than the price of a latte? Clearly our town’s…
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs formed in 1985, stumbling into the dimly lit bars of their native Buenos Aires. Back then, they were just a ska group poised on the crest of a Latin rock revolution still far from shore. The following year saw the release of their debut album, Bares y…
Iron Maiden emerged from East London in the mid-1970s, and its defiantly metal middle finger to that city’s punk explosion was, intentionally or otherwise, punk as fuck. Mainman/bassist Steve Harris had a vision of something timeless; 20-plus arena-filling years later, it seems he had a point. Sidestepping the obvious head-bangin’…
Southern-fried piano swamp funk doesn’t get better than Leon Russell. His greasy R&B cadges a hopping, Delta blues stomp, fueled by his gravelly croak and his percussive pounding at the piano. Russell left Tulsa for L.A. at 16. There, he learned guitar from rockabilly legend James Burton and soon became…
