Miami natives Erik Slemon and Matt Gardner first started making music together more than a decade ago, when they were still apple-cheeked students at Coral Gables High and Columbus, respectively. Perhaps those early attempts were humble — “We played, like, Nirvana covers at a couple of house parties,” Gardner recalls…

The Fort Lauderdale-birthed four-piece Nonpoint came up in the late 1990s, a particularly fertile time in South Florida for experimental heavy rock. At clubs like Cheers, Fubar, and other one-named venues long defunct, they’d share the bill with other arty-but-loud local leading lights like Endo, Darwin’s Waiting Room, and the…
You’re not going to hear Timb on the radio anytime soon. It’s not that he’s untalented or too vulgar; it’s because he’s simply unclassifiable and might literally destroy the airwaves if he were broadcast on them. The best way to try to describe one of Timb’s live solo shows is…

It’s the beginning of the month, and you’ve just been paid. Hopefully. Sounds like it’s time to spend some of that hard earned cash on live music, and Live Nation is letting you do that without any of the service fees. Better yet, they’re discounting four and six packs of…
HA HA Help! is doing a little patriotic party thing over at PS 14 this coming Saturday Thursday. The eccentric, frequently pantsless and often interesting experimental noise outfit from here in the swamp state haven’t been playing out all that much lately. Here is a chance to celebrate as well…

This past Thursday’s main music story in both the Miami New Times and New Times Broward-Palm Beach tells the story of Cat Shell. She’s a young Boca singer-songwriter who performs material worthy of the torch-song divas of yesteryear, and you can read Lee Zimmerman’s full article about her here. As…

Poison the Well, the best metal/hardcore band of 2009 (as voted by Miami New Times) is playing a hometown-ish gig on August 22 at Culture Room. This date should be extra special, not only because of the whole homecoming after a brutal tour thing, but it’s also the last show…
