  • ADULT. Coming to White Room Art Basel Week

    ADULT. is coming to Miami! And what better week to visit the Magic City than during Art Basel? We told you that Basel has the habit of attracting plenty of musical acts to the city during the week its here, and ADULT. is definitely a rare treat. The duo was booked by the semi-defunct Spiderpussy party for Friday, December 5, shindig at White Room along with Orlando experimental band Yip-Yip. ADULT. consists Adam Lee Miller and Nicola Kuperus who rose to prominence back in the early part of t

  • Art Basel Week: Home Grown party at the Vagabond

    Rachel Goodrich While seemingly the whole highbrow world descends on Miami Beach tonight for the official opening of Art Basel, across the causeway, the Vagabond kicks off the artsy extravaganza with a locals-centric fiesta. Okay, so Miami New Times is an official sponsor of the event, but it’s never a bad time to shout out some Miami live music favorites. On the club’s leafy, bohemian patio, the evening will kick off on the chilled-out side. The left-field folk duo Raffa and Rainer will ro

  • Art Basel Week: A.R.E. Weapons, J.D. Samson at O.H.W.O.W., Dec. 2

    Longtime legends of the lower-lower Manhattan underground, the quartet A.R.E. Weapons have been steadily chugging along since 1999, blasting out something along the lines of electro-rock as imagined by former punk rock types. The band's noisy assault of party-in-your-face found some near-mainstream success in the U.K., where it scored a few singles in the low reaches of the national top-100 charts in the earlier part of this decade. Still, they've soldiered on, although it's been about a year s

  • Art Basel Week: Andy Rourke at PS14, Dec. 5

    Static Interference, the occasional locals-only extravaganza thrown by the band Astari Nite at PS14, continues during Art Basel with a night dedicated to a band everyone likes: the Smiths. The party's called, unsurprisingly, Louder than Bombs, and it's billed as a sort-of-tribute night. Besides Astari Nite, a ton of other Miami acts perform, including the Monday Photo, Champagne Days, the Mission Veo, and Down Home Southernaires. They'll be playing mostly originals, though, and brave are the mu

  • Art Basel Week: Pink Reason and Times New Viking, Dec. 7

    The last of the Art Basel week shows at the Kill Your Idols space kicks off with a set from Brooklyn-based Pink Reason, currently a trio but really the brainchild of Kevin Failure, the band's frontman. It sounds a little like Joy Division or another post-punk act put through a shredder, churned in a drum machine, and tossed into a faraway field, where it still remains audible. Um, best heard rather than read about. The Columbus, Ohio-based Times New Viking, meanwhile, released one of the greates

  • Marilyn Manson, the Painter, at Art Basel

    Marilyn Manson has been many things -- the anti-Christ, an androgynous alien, a Weimar theatric -- but little know of Manson's other character, that of a painter, a role he takes pretty seriously. In fact, for the past two decades he's been amassing a body of work which will be displayed for the first time ever in the United States during Art Basel.The exhibition, Trismegistus, will feature over 20 painted by the shock-rocker done in the last eight years. The work will be on display at the 101

    Yelle is coming back ya'll! We just called the Art Basel's Florida offices and they confirmed that the French electro-pop outfit is returning to the Magic City to kick off the Basel festivities at its Art Loves Music event Wednesday, December 3 at 10 p.m. The free concert will take place directly on the beach between 21st and 22nd Streets in Miami Beach.The band was here in October for its C'est l'Amerique tour which stopped at the Polish American Club.

  • Panda Bear, No Age and the Sads Playing Free Show at Karu & Y Friday UPDATE

    Can't tell you how many times we've been specifically asked about hearsay that Animal Collective's Panda Bear was playing in Miami during Basel. Well we can fully confirm that the experimental musician, along with No Age and the Sads, will be playing a free show at Karu & Y Friday night. You have Nike, NADA Art Fair, and ANP Quarterly to thank (or not) for the show.

  • Completely NOT Basel-Related: Nic Fanciulli at Mansion, Dec. 6

    Yes, while everyone else is running around in a pseudo-art-related frenzy, there are a few big events this week that are absolutely NOT related to Art Basel. It seems almost anticlimactic to talk about them, though, with all the big-deal one-off events going on. Still, here's something for the frequent denizens of superclubs: UK native and Miami big-room favorite Nic Fanciulli returns to our shores for a gig at Mansion this Saturday. Since officially breaking up his One One duo with James Zabiel

  • Single Malts At Two Chefs

    Art Basel brings so much cool stuff to Miami each year, but also throngs of people and a whole lot of hype. Tonight, however, far from the madding crowd, Two Chefs in South Miami will be offering a single malt sampling that is eminently reasonable in price: Twenty dollars will allow you to "Taste 5, Explore 10!", including a few rarities. Owner Jan Jorgensen allows that often "We say 'ten', but one person will ask to try this, another person that, and we can end up with 35 bottles on the bar." T

  • Hanging Up On Osama, Food Bombs for the Homeless, Jack Bauer Endorses Art

    Phone Call from Obama, Congreswoman. No wait, Osama.Sure, there are a lot of people wondering how much of a dumbass Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is for hanging up on Barack Obama. It took three phone calls before Ros-Lehtinen finally figured out it wasn't a hoax. But in these times, terrorists could be anywhere, or at least, that's what I've learned from Jack Bauer. And at least now we know that when Osama calls with fake information about where the terrorists have hidden the nuke, Ros-Le

Ever.I'm going to keep this short since we already reviewed Yelle not too long ago. Way to castrate an energetic performer and have her beg you to wake up and ask you countless times, "Are you sleeping?" Yelle's (aka Julie Budet) shirt said "Let them eat gas!!!" and gas is what the crowd needed.Do I know for a fact that Yelle can work a crowd? Hell-to-the-y

Unfortunately, most of them were invite-only or secret parties no one knew about.

One of the many cool things about Art Basel is all the cool music acts that it brings down to our sandy shores. Case in point, last night the always-eclectic Prefuse 73 was in town--along with label mate Eliot Lip, local star producer PG 13 and other guests DJs. The place for the venue was the (newish) Heathrow Lounge in South Beach --

  • Clive's Scores at Basel

    One of the unheralded winners of the recently concluded Art Basel was Clive's Café, (2880 No. Miami Ave. and 890 NW 2nd Ave.). The Wynwood location, generally closed for weekend nights, stayed open for the hipster crowd and was jammed. Best option was the jerk chicken ($7.50) - finest we've ever tasted in Miami and served fresh off the grill. At $8.50, the curry goat rocked, too.  So are they thinking about catering to the art walk crowd this weekend, too? "Things change fast around here,"

To read a longer introduction about who he is, click here to check out last week's premiere installment of Miami According to Brooklyn.To the person who left that long comment: The truth hurts. What I said must have hit home, obviously. But I want to talk about Art Basel. I went to a few parties and I had a really, really good time. The first

  • Free #$%*! Ice Cream!!!

    The "Ice Cream Man" a.k.a. Matt Allen is a dude who rolls around the country in an old van named Mitch giving away free ice cream. We caught up with him at O.H.W.O.W Gallery (Our House West of Wynwood) on NW 7th Ave and 32 Street during a Basel week party. There were several hundred people there and free booze, but the people could not deny their hunger for gumball eyed pink panthers, or a cool, refreshing chipwich . Allen is from Long Beach and for the last four years he's given away ice cream

And we promise we will never leave you -- er, again.We aren't sure how many of you actually want to go out this week, because we ourselves are still recovering from the Baselmania of last week.

  • Head Spins: Juan BassHead

    On the corner of Breakbeat and Bass, in the town of Danceville, there hangs a cat whose scratch is surely as deep as the hiss of some vintage vinyl. I'm not talking about some throwback turntablist trying to revive the art of the back-cue, mind you - hell, most of the time those guys don't even use vinyl. And I'm not talking about someone playing your plain ol' everyday Miami bass either (though the cat in question doesn't hesitate to throw that down when necessary). No, what I'm talking about
