The most glamorous man in show business, Bryan Ferry, is coming to the Fillmore in Miami Beach on September 29. What separates Ferry most from his ’70s glam contemporaries — besides his lasting music — is simple: He is as much sexy style as he is sexy substance. His work…

California punk rock and higher education do go hand in hand. Hermosa Beach’s the Decendents named one of the most important punk records of the ’80s, Milo Goes To College, after its frontman Milo Aukerman’s departure from the band to study biology at UCSD. Hailing from Huntington Beach, the Offspring’s…
Outkast’s Big Boi and Andre 3000 haven’t parted ways, but, as evidenced by Big Boi’s solo album and their complete separation from each other on their own CDs, they don’t want to spend too much time together. Plus, as Big Boi revealed on his Twitter, he has started seeing other…
A lot of people have been saying a lot of things about Lil Daggers. From Berlin to Nylon to right here, we all agree — there’s something special about these scummy Miami kids. They’re not full-on lo-fi garage revival; it’s not total punk rock; the Daggers just are what they…
The Smashing Pumpkins just announced plans to re-release all of their classic albums, rarities collections, and an entire album’s worth of new material starting in the fall. This includes their 1991 indie debut Gish. As far as our ears can tell, drummer Jimmy Chamberlain is playing two to three drumsets…
On Friday morning, people on the Beastie Boys’ email list received a cryptic email, the subject line read “MSN MSG” and the body of the email only contained “This Sat, 10:35 am EST — Just listen, listen, listen to the beat box” with a link to their website. Did it…
Miami’s the Waterford Landing has just given music lovers an amazingly thoughtful gift. The band’s new double album, In the Heart of Zombie City, is up for free download now. Eventually, it will be a double 12-inch gatefold, and this album is too rich, too glorious, and too enthralling to…
Wow. We are stunned, speechless and excited as hell, boyeeee! In anticipation for their next album The Hot Sauce Committee Part 2, the Beastie Boys just unleashed a trailer for what appears to be the most enjoyable music video in ages. Or most hilarious short movie based on a music…
Seventeen years ago today, Nirvana frontman and arguably the last relevant rock star, Kurt Cobain killed himself. He was found dead on April 8, and MTV turned into NTV for the rest of the day. Kurt Loder broke the news every chance he got, and Nirvana performances were all up…
Staind’s frontman/lyrical mastermind Aaron Lewis has veered away from his post-grunge past with new single “Country Boy” — sort of. On his new EP crafted in Nashville, Town Line, expect to hear “country” songs that really sound like a clash of Bon Jovi and Alice in Chains, sung in that…
After Ben Weasel’s immature and negative attention-seeking blow up at SXSW last Friday, everyone has quit his band. For those of you who haven’t been listening to Screeching Weasel nonstop since 1993, here’s what happened: after 25 years of influencing bands that would become chart toppers (Green Day, Blink-182, All-American…
We we we so excited because right after we visit Chick-fil-A for some waffle fries in the food court, we can see the Princess of Awkward Phase Pop, Rebecca Black, at Miami’s Dadeland Mall on Sunday, June 5. This is as part of her 2011 summer tour of malls. Several…
When we last checked in with Miami’s Nobodys Hero, they were about to embark on a Florida tour with punk icons NOFX and the Bouncing Souls. Unwilling to rest on their laurels, the South Florida foursome is formally celebrating the release of their self-titled debut at Churchill’s tomorrow night.In a…
Two months ago, the Strokes announced the track list for its new album, Angles. Using all of my musical knowledge and psychic prowess, I predicted what the album would sound like track by track. Well, the album is out March 21, and the album the guys made is not the…
Every time I hear about Cradle of Filth, I think of my friend, Electric Bunnies guitarist Eldys. One day, his father came into his room while he was blasting Cradle of Filth to let him know that “This music is very pretty.” It was probably the most shocking reaction to…
Just thinking about Primus makes it clear how bland the rock music world has become. There was a time, and it wasn’t all that long ago, that MTV and radio stations played what some people — okay, maybe just one person, me — affectionately refer to as “crazy people music.” Primus…
It’s nice to see a celebrity endorsing a product he or she uses on a daily basis. With Lil Wayne as the official face of Bogey Blunts, we get a feeling that this is product he stands behind. It’s a brilliant pairing of style and controlled substances.At the same time,…
Ozzy OsbourneWith SlashBankAtlantic Center, SunriseSunday, February 20, 2011Ozzy Osbourne has come a long way from being the devil-worshipping, suicide-inducing, bat-head-eating madman he was labeled as in the ’70s and ’80s. Over a decade spent on reality TV and advertisements is just enough time to erase the Ozzy’s satanic memories from…
Weezer just makes it so easy for us to resent them. What started as a clever pop-rock band has turned into one of the sickest jokes ever played on music fans. An initial perfect marriage of wit, hooks and super-fuzzed guitars turned out to be built on false pretenses, and…
Now that Foo Fighters, Eminem, and Muse have been announced as three of the headliners for this year’s Lollapalooza, let’s take a minute to reflect upon the festival’s rise, decline, and rebirth. In the mid-’90s, Lollapalooza was a glorious place where like-minded people could gather and see all the bands…
We should have seen it coming; the clues were all there. The White Stripes breakup was looming and imminent. When Jack White joined the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather and started lending his talents to Beck, Alicia Keys, and Wanda Jackson, we wondered how he was going to find time…
