What happens when a love-crazed Miami club promoter spends a few days in Las Vegas, hits a small jackpot in a roulette table, and then ties the knot at a kitschy wedding chapel complete with an Elvis-impersonator minister? For Oski Gonzalez, Tobacco Road’s resident DJ and head promoter,...

The country is currently awash in Americana fever, with any number of rock radio favorites dabbling in the sounds of yore. It's part of a search for authenticity when so much pop radio is heavily synthesized, and partially a need for the warm fuzzy blanket of an imagined yesteryear. Cute though...

While lyrically fusing the activist-artist model of feminist folk rockers like Ani Difranco with the cuter, hornier ramblings of indie-folks like Kimya Dawson, Ruiz's upbeat, sunny music and sassy classic jazz vocals ultimately recall another coy South Florida strummer: Rachel Goodrich. Just...

Bardot :
Sat., February 11
|
Having a good time on a Saturday night at Bardot is no mission impossible, especially when Com Truise is in the house. The Ghostly International label signee presents warped synth visions of future past that should segue easily from the experimental indie and DJ acts that open for him.

With his penchant for a sort of watery, pastel visual imagery, and the vaguely tropical-sounding name, it would be easy to file Sumsun away under the rapidly fading chillwave genre. Still, the artist born Judson Rogers has, as his output has increased, proved a penchant for a much wider...

While cookie-cutter, imitation “hip stuff” can be found on the shelves of Ross, to really get the heart-quality goods, one must go closer to the source. At the Retro Indie Market, seekers can wander rows upon rows of genuine treasures, displayed and offered for purchase by the very...

If you’re sick to death of Valentine’s Day by now, that’s OK. Us too. But don’t hate on the day. Don’t rant, “It was invented by the greeting card companies.” Wow, did you come up with that all by yourself? Shut up. Look, you either actually don’t...

Sex is one of the most taboo acts in human existence. Catholics seem to think it’s injurious to a person. And then you got the hippies believing free love is necessary for personal growth. But everyone can agree on one thing: When it’s good… oh, it’s damned good. It all...

The B-52s are living proof that sodium bloat and poor chopstick skills are not the only things that come from Chinese restaurants. The band formed in 1976 at such an establishment in Athens, Georgia, and named itself after the Southern slang term for exaggerated bouffant hairdos. The group...

Seattle is the staph-infected armpit of America, and grunge is the second-worst-smelling music genre next to crust punk. In Seattle, it’s illegal to burn flannel, and you have to meet an elitist quotient to claim residency. Twenty years ago, the city thought itself too cool for Candlebox,...

Yeah, yeah, Churchill's is a great place to drink beer, shoot pool, smoke cigs, look surly, and show off your lousy acting talent — but it's also got one hell of a jazz jam. Monday nights are what you want. The music starts around 9:00 p.m. and includes a performance by a band, followed...

Valentine’s Day, with its unabashed sappiness, candy, and commercialized cheer, would seem to be exactly everything the typical Smiths and Morrissey fan stands against. Aren’t followers of the famously dour Morrissey supposed to be bookish, wan, forever-alone types who scoff at the...

Valentine’s! You forgot all about it! At this point, even your most powerful exertions won’t result in the kind of really romantic evening your mate is pining for, and s/he’ll probably resent you till Christmas. Unless you shell out $125 for one of these picnic packages...

When folks in the crowd at an Uncle Kracker show tear up, usually it is for one of two reasons: Either they are powerfully moved by the Top 40 troubadour’s rap-rock-country songs or they are weeping at the tragedy of a musician that corny and bad being so popular on a national level. At...

When the ancient working stiff was preparing for his journey into the afterlife, little did he know he would spend decades gathering dust in a musty Wynwood warehouse. But that's exactly where the Egyptian craftsman dating back to the 25th or 26th Dynasty (808-518 B.C.) was found inside a...

It might not seem like it at first, but the face is probably the most intimate part of the human body. Sure, it's also the most public, but no other area of your physical being is a better representation of who you are. Your face expresses every emotion. If you're ill, your cheeks flush. If...
