It’s been a mere 13 hours and 30 minutes since the latest edition of III Points, Miami’s music, art, and tech fest, wrapped up. And yet… it’s already time to start planning the next arty party. After all, there’s just seven weeks and a few days till Basel madness seizes…
In the lull before another night of main-stage mania at Soho Studios, III Pointers got to spend Sunday afternoon with famous friends (and regular friends) at bars and galleries throughout Wynwood. These midday getdowns were called Pre-Points BBQs, though there wasn’t much smoking or grilling of meats goin’ on. Just…
III Points Festival 2014, Day Three With Mac DeMarco, Jamie Jones and Hot Natured, Tiga, Com Truise, and others Soho Studios, Wynwood, Miami Friday, October 10, 2014 Good morning, Dade County. Oh, you can’t hear me ’cause you’re still asleep and the bass is still tickling the inside of your…
Nothing sucks more than waking up in the morning thinking it’s Friday only to realize that it is, in fact, just Monday. We’ve all been there. And yes, it’s a crappy feeling. But hey, at least you’ve got some pretty good music to comfort you. Just check out the five…
III Points Festival 2014, Day Two With Jamie XX, Metronomy, Cashmere Cat, Chet Faker, and others Soho Studios, Wynwood, Miami Friday, October 10, 2014 It’s always been difficult to put on a compelling live electronic music show. And now, with more money made through performing than recording, many mainstream dance…
III Points Festival 2014, Day One With Lykke Li, Flying Lotus, Duke Dumont, and others Soho Studios, Wynwood, Miami Friday, October 10, 2014 Last night, III Points 2014 kicked off with the strongest musical lineup of the three-day festival. There were a few infrastructural hiccups. Many of the bars did…
We’ve “got a feeling inside…” It’s “a certain kind” of feeling we just “can’t explain.” That’s because British rock legends and Hall of Famers the Who have just announced their two-leg 50th anniversary tour and yep, they’re coming to the Magic City next spring. Check the cut for the Who’s…
There aren’t too many musicians left like Kaytranada, not in the big leagues, anyway. His sound is hard to classify as anything more than head-knockin’, and he loves to break the rules. He makes headlines for his noiseless drops, like the Whatever project, when he just dumped a file of…
When it rains in Hell, the ground cracks open and Satan’s blood flows up from Hades to soak the Earth. Maggots in the dirt gorge themselves on the devil’s plasma until their tiny, ugly bodies burst and microscopic eggs spray everywhere. Six days later, a new generation of long-haired black…
One of Germany’s leading electronic dance music trailblazers for two decades, Roman Flügel remains very much capable of reinventing himself and surprising listeners with each new release. For one thing, he swaps artist monikers as often as he does musical styles: Roman IV, Eight Miles High, Soylent Green, and Ro…
You were born to the pulsing pound of your momma’s heart going thump. And today, the beat of a drum still brings you new life. Now multiply that phenomenon by 22, and you’ve got the estrogenergetic force of Venus Rising, South Florida’s premier all-female dance and drum group. After a…
The great state of Texas is known for many things, including football, barbecue, big oil, women with big hair, men with big hats, and the fact that, well, everything is supposedly bigger there. The latter assertion may be cause for debate, but one thing is beyond question: the Lone Star…
In 1994, singer and guitarist Warren Haynes never imagined Gov’t Mule would still exist in the year 2014. “In the beginning, it was just a side project, because Allen Woody and myself were full-time members of the Allman Brothers Band,” Haynes says. “We had no ambitions or aspirations. It was…
St. Vincent Fillmore Miami Beach Monday, October 6, 2014 Better Than: Doing the Automaton Shuffle alone. “Hello to all of you men and women out there,” said St. Vincent, welcoming a few thousand art-rock acolytes to the Fillmore Miami Beach last night. “And,” she added, after a pregnant pause, “all…
III Points, three days. The second annual edition of Wynwood’s music, art, and tech fest has finally made the big reveal of its 2014 music sked. Day by day. Hour by hour. So snatch up some last-minute tix. And check the cut for III Points’ music set times. See also:…
The last time that the Juan Maclean performed live in Miami, it was in 2009. At the then-new LIV nightclub at the Fontainebleau, he and DFA Records diva Nancy Whang were booked for the megaclub’s Dirty Hairy party, a weekly Wednesday-night party meant to mimic what was happening downtown, even…
“Maybe it was crazy. But we believed.” Out of nowhere in the summer of 2013, Miami’s David Sinopoli and Erica Freshman unveiled their vision for something called III Points, a sprawling three-day festival that aimed to unite our city’s disparate creative communities — and perhaps even help forge the future…
Miami, we’re more than just a city of superficiality, alcoholics, and club rats — we’re actually a town of thinkers, artists, and creatives. And every now and then, we get hit with some pretty good music, like the five best concerts going down this week. Check them out, from St…
Marc Anthony’s Cambio de Piel Tour With Joey Vega American Airlines Arena, Miami Friday, October 3, 2014 Better Than: A night salsa dancing at Mango’s. “Latinos, we always wait to the last minute,” joked comedian Joey Vega as los rumberos at the American Airlines Arena waited for el Rey de…
Christians pray for the men of Eyehategod. Which is good, considering the Louisiana sludge giants’ 26 years of hardship, disaster, and even death. They may have sold their souls on the bayou. But how else would they spawn heavy, full-bellied blues and give a pulse to stiff darkness? “We’re definitely…
If you had the misfortunate of missing Bonobo’s Miami performance last year, the UK electronica wizard is back at Grand Central on Saturday. Now while this gig comes as part of his current North America DJ tour — meaning no awesome full-ensemble live show — the show packs a very…
What is “Real Love?” That’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves at one point or another. The hopeless romantic might say it’s when your other half let’s you eat the bigger cookie. The pessimist would agree it’s nothing but a fairytale. But us here at Crossfade, we know the true…
