Previously, the Bruise Cruise Kickoff Party and video of Miss Pussycat’s puppet show.So far, the inaugural Bruise Cruise, featuring nine indie rock bands and a swell of adventurous hipsters, is not the most dangerous experience in the world. However, there’s nothing like the feeling that the floor is coming up…

Earlier this year, West Palm’s representative on this weekend’s Bruise Cruise (and tonight’s pre-party) Surfer Blood played a pair of concerts in South Florida to unveil some material not featured on the band’s debut, Astro Coast. The first, a hastily announced gig at Respectable Street, featured a trio of songs…
No point in holding off from the obligatory “TV on the Radio is still impressive” posting. “Will Do” premiered yesterday via Seattle’s 107.7 The End (!). It’s the first song to emerge from Nine Types of Light, the art-rock band’s fifth album, due April 12. Tunde Adebimpe takes the lead…
Click here to see more photos from Artopia! The 2011 running of Artopia was an eye-stroking spectacle. Aside from the distinguished locals in all matters of semi-formal wear sipping cucumber-enhanced Hendrick’s Gin, the crowd was pleasantly dotted with some of the area’s most creative minds — and we’re not just talking…
Conor Oberst is no aging Luddite. Like most Americans, he relies heavily on the conveniences of modern “coffeemakers, telephones, television, computers; seems like everything has a little computer in it these days.” But the 31-year-old ex-wünkerkind and cornerstone of the Saddle Creek record label tells New Times via an old-fashioned…
Quintron and Miss Pussycat could be the sleeper act of this weekend’s Bruise Cruise Festival and its corresponding pre-party being held Thursday evening at Grand Central. Inevitably, soul-inspired tunes fueled by the mighty Hammond B-3 organ, the self-patented, light-activated Drum Buddy synth, and Miss Pussycat’s noted skills as a puppeteer…
Conor Oberst has so many capsules of his transition into adulthood captured via his Bright Eyes albums of the past decade. When future generations unearth 2005’s Digital Ash in a Digital Urn, they’ll get to experience his dark party days in New York, but taking a listen to his brand-new…
Looks like Donald Trump wasn’t covered by Rihanna’s “Umbrella” this past Saturday for a benefit show at his club on Palm Beach Island. Mere hours before she was set to perform at Trump’s Mar-A-Lago Club for the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute’s 20th Annual Discovery Celebration event, she called in sick. Reported in…
Mr. Jonathan “New York Night Train” Toubin’s DJ skills are world-renowned. Just ask the Wall Street Journal. And prior to his Soul Clap and Dance-Off set during this weekend’s Bruise Cruise proper, he’s spinning a mix of early ’60s soul for the mainlanders tonight at the Vagabond.For those who don’t…
Before the infamous Bruise Cruise Festival launches from South Florida’s shores on Friday, there’s going to be a killer kickoff party at Miami’s Grand Central on Thursday evening. Limited tickets are still available here. Garage rockers and notorious meat-beating partiers the Black Lips should stoke the mood plenty with a…
Definitely got some fiery retorts from the comment gallery yesterday regarding our local Millionyoung’s less-than-positive Pitchfork score, so hopefully this video offering dealt by the venerable indie website will fare better. As is already established, Mike Diaz’s digital-analog mix welcomes psychedelic visions of hazy sunsets. So, to move the experience…
Sumsun’s third installment of Lush Haus, an electronic music celebration paired with the trippy Liquid Light Show, returns to Propaganda this week. Judging by the February mix compiled ahead of Wednesday’s event, the night should be a thoroughly relaxing experience without being subdued. As was the case last month, drink…
According to the Young Circles’ Facebook page, an East Coast/Midwest tour wrapped up last night in Atlanta and the guys are headed back to South Florida. Over the past few weeks, the guys hit stages in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and a couple more on this cross-country expedition.Locals can monitor…
There’s no reason to read too much into Pitchfork’s 3.8 rating of Millionyoung’s Replicants — except that there’s every reason to read too much into it. The Hipster Runoff-invented chillwave is beyond dead in 2K11, and this perfectly fine album produced here in Florida is the unwitting target of that…
Opinions of Radiohead’s The King of Limbs vary, and this has been a symptom of every post-Bends album the band has released. A few supporters of the new album have dismissed Thom Yorke’s spastic dancing in the new “Lotus Flower” video as nothing more than an unpleasant retread of Jamiroquai’s…
West Palm Beach rootsy rock act the Gallery has a shot at joining the ranks of the Beatles, Madonna, Coldplay, and Aretha Franklin as a cover subject on an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. This rare opportunity comes as part of the magazine’s “Do You Wanna be a Rock &…
