Yussuf Jerusalem |
Anyways, the So Raw people, while they usually do cheap shows with built-in-free beer, are changing things up and. Friday night at the Legion they're doing a free show, with cheap beer -- from the bar, of course. The bulk of the music comes from local staples like the garage-y Electric Bunnies and Jacuzzi Boys, and the solo electro-goth (awesome) weirdness of This heart Electric. They've got a foreign headliner, though, Yussuf Jerusalem. That's actually a co-ed French trio that sings in English and plays more lo fi, vaguely psychedelic rock. The group recently released a 12" on the Orlando-based Florida's Dying label, and this Miami show is part of a fairly extensive trek through the United States.
Oh yeah, besides a beer-chugging competition, also planned is a "mummy contest," and your guess is as good as ours on that one.
Friday, November 6. American Legion, 6445 NE 7th Ave., Miami. Show starts at 9 p.m., admission is free.
