Andy Rourke is mild-mannered and soft-spoken, with glints and glimmers of a recognizably British sense of humor peeking through. The Manchester native is one-fourth of the original lineup of the Smiths, the legendary 1980s British rock band.

Borne of necessity and honed in darkness, Ether’s sophomore release, There Is Nothing Left for Me Here, is a logical progression for a five-year-old band that formed with feet firmly planted. Citing personal turmoil, change, and introspection, the band is set to release the album July 7 and support it with a monthlong tour.

But immortality comes at a cost, and its price is often caricature. Prince’s death and the subsequent outpouring of tribute showed us that the seminal genius of a generation, who spent decades bending genres in the studio, in the end became frozen in amber as the Purple One in a studded latex jacket and ruffled shirt.
By some quirk of the calendar, the architects of two of rock’s greatest bands will perform in Miami the same week. July 7, we get former Beatle Paul McCartney, and six days later, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd arrives. As one rock legend after another slips from this mortal coil, these are must-attend shows.
Last week, the French New Wave and modern-day Miami came together in a delightful way in the new Arcade Fire music video for the band’s latest single, “Signs of Life.” Directors Jillian Mayer and Lucas Leyva, whose names pop up alongside the band’s name at the beginning of the video, deliver a work that’s uniquely Miami…

Ben Katzman’s DeGreaser has never been a band to step aside and let industry gears decide its fate. In fact, Katzman started his label, BUFU Records, in part to influence the direction his band went and on what terms. He believes fortunate hands he’s been dealt have been random.
