Kat DeLuna will be visiting Miami this week. The Dominican songstress, who enjoyed rampant radio success at the tail end of 2007 and into 2008 with her hit single, “Whine Up” featuring Elephant Man, just turned 21 in November, and it’s lucky for her. She’s recently kicked off an 8-city…

Que vuelta, mi gente? That’s Cuban for “Hello, dear friends. How are you this fine day?” You might be wondering the reason for the lesson in Cuban slang. Have I been watching Pichy films’ 299 again? No. Well…okay…yes. Yes, I have. Damned if I’m not still running around screaming, “que…
The peeps from Safe have hit the ground running this new year it seems, what with them booking international techno magnate Konrad Black for Valentine’s at Glass, in addition to Sammy Dee this Friday night at the same venue. Hailing from Berlin (big surprise) Mr. Dee is a scene veteran…
Now that Langerado’s cancelled, expect many of the bands to announce smaller shows throughout South Florida.

New Jersey’s Streetlight Manifesto deserves a couple of props. First, for still carrying the torch of third-wave ska as it was largely played at its tail end in the late 1990s: in a group of many, many musicians, and with a heavy punk edge. Second, for remaining pretty much the…
