Indie Unplugged Miami

By Abel Folgar

Published on May 29, 2008

Indie Unplugged Miami was a nifty little show that went down at the Wallflower Gallery last July and was recorded for posterity. As far as a live recording is concerned, the quality is pretty good. It's not commercially available, so you have to get this South Florida sampler from the players involved, because it was a united effort by the artists to bring the disc to light. (Try their MySpace accounts.) The 17 tracks are split among five outfits: the rightly popular Raffa and Rainer, the like-minded Nacho and Johann, the rocking Alucard, the good vibes of Fitzroy, and the tripped-out sprechgesang rap of the Cornerstoners. It's a darned good sampler, and if you're into supporting local artists, then get it.
