If you haven’t already heard — you probably haven’t — there is a new lounge/bar/we-aren’t-entirely-too-sure opening up in Wynwood. We first heard about Bardot thanks to daily email site UrbanDaddy, but that still raised more questions than answers.This is what we do know: Amir Ben-Zion — the man behind Buck…
We know you’ve got at least one friend. Now’s the time to hit that friend up for a little cash so you can pick up tickets to some of the biggest shows coming to local amphitheaters on the cheap.Until midnight tonight, tickets for shows like AFI, Dashboard Confessional, and Dethklok…
South Florida loves Fat Joe; he seems to be here so often we can almost claim him as one of our own. So it was with some interest that I read this MTV News Mixtape Daily blog post on his latest album, Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2). But…
via Flickr user Lost AlbatrossThat would be one of the most interesting double billings in history. For now, the concert promoters are keeping these two shows separate. The Zac Brown Band is coming first, on November 14 to be exact, to the Sunset Cove Amphitheater. The Academy of Country Music…
The entire tawdry story of DJ Seasunz, who was arrested yesterday and charged with second degree murder in the death of his 18-year-old-girlfriend, Jaclyn Torrealba, has a 21st-century technology flair. After Torrealba first went missing from Club Space in the wee hours of Sunday morning, her friends and loved ones…
TiestoSorry Broward trance fans, Tiesto has nixed his show at University Center Arena at Nova Southeastern University. The show, scheduled for this Saturday, is rumored to have suffered from poor ticket sales, although the “official” excuse being given is scheduling conflicts.The only conflict they could be talking about is Tiesto’s…

It is always tempting to announce for the good people of SoFla yet another opportunity to enjoy some quality cubaneo. But somehow, The Baboons music doesn’t quite fit that mold, the description lacking accuracy, any attempt at precision hopelessly devastated. Sure, the Afro-Cuban vibe is there, about as obvious as…

Miami’s techno heads can’t complain about having nothing to do this Saturday night, with club Space featuring an all-night groove extravaganza that includes DJ sets by international sensations Mark Knight, Alexi Delano and Paul Ritch. Bestselling DJ/producer Mark Knight has gained substantial commercial success in the late 2000s through residencies…
If you’re not headed down to Thievery Corporation in Miami tonight, there’s still plenty to hear in Broward and Palm Beach. Ben Prestage and Dex Romweber Duo are playing Propaganda tonight, Johnny Winter is playing The Culture Room, Ever So Klever is playing Poor House, and the battle of the…

Unfortunately, she’s not taking Synclaire, Maxine, Regina, and Overton with her to do live Living Single theater. No, instead she’ll be banking on…
Jose Luis Perales is what you might call a living legend. The title seems fitting. Perhaps you don’t think you’re familiar with his work, but if you have parents from Spain or Latin America then rest assured you most certainly do. And if perhaps you yourself are a died-in-the-wool grownup…
The bluesy, punkabilly Dex Romweber Duo is a must-see for any roots rocker. Fronted by Dexter Romweber, the brother/sister pair (or at least Dex, who played in the iconic underground group Flat Duo Jets) has been cited as a major influence by numerous artists such as Cat Power, Neko Case,…
When a newly reformed legendary Brazilian psychedelic band calls upon you to open up for its national tour, it’s probably best to simply say yes. Of course, leave it to those wacky Os Mutantes to go ahead and dig up the only group that describes their sound as “Spanish-Jewish indie…

He plays drums while Michael Moore plays reeds, and Will Holshauser plays accordion.Tigertail, Florida’s pioneer of innovative arts & culture, now in their 30th year of existence present Third Man…
via flick user NRK P3Do you think David Ellefson might miss playing for Megadeth? He left the band in 2002, and declined to rejoin the band when Dave Mustaine tried to get them back together in 2004. In fairness, every other original member of Megadeth declined to rejoin Mustain, save…
In the post-hardcore pantheon, the New Jersey guys of Thursday are millennial gods. Led by the unapologetically erudite frontman Geoff Rickly, in the late ’90s and early ’00s, their early loud-soft aesthetic helped define what would later come to be known — often pejoratively — as “screamo.” That accomplishment has…
That little “influences” box on a musician’s MySpace page is usually a repository for not-funny irony or complete bullshit. Shit Robot’s, however, is as sincere and accurate as this single-man-act’s name is not — name-checked here are early electronic heavyweights like Carl Craig, Andrew Weatherall, Derrick May, and Juan Atkins…
Going on 20 years together as a band, Strung Out has been able to make its metallic pop-punk work wonders. Already claiming seven full-lengths, two non-LP collections, one live album, and two EPs, the band is promoting its latest release, Agents of the Underground, with its current string of tours…
Laura Pausini is considered by many to possess one of the most powerful female voices in all of Latin pop. And rightfully so. The Italian-born songstress, who’s sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, boasts a truly blessed set of pipes. Evidence? Her vocal work on such hit singles as…
New York and London battle it out over bragging rights as the definitive birthplace of punk rock. Southern California in general is acknowledged as the second cradle of the genre, home of all those amazing, sun-bleached ’80s bands. But people tend to forget about the flyover states’ place in the…
