Spanish Legend Alejandro Sanz Performs at AAA This Saturday

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: Alejandro Sanz is the man. Know how Juanes holds that records for most Latin Grammys? Guess who held that title just before him.They didn’t just hand those to over to him be because they dug his distinguished salt-and-pepper looks. The Spanish singer also happens…

Drake Adds Second Miami Show (First One is Sold Out)

Need more proof that it’s Drake’s year? The singer/rapper/actor is approaching Lady Gaga status — just like that diva, he’s been almost forced to add a second Miami show after the first sold out quickly. Yes, tickets for his first announced solo performance in town, at the James L. Knight Center…

Caribou Live Performance at Grand Central October 19

We expect things to really take off at Miami’s only mid-size live venue, Grand Central, in the fall. There are plenty of rumors — some that can be confirmed, others that are still a bit murky — about who will be stopping by in the coming months. Well, here is…

LCD Soundsystem 2010 Tour Lands in Miami, October 6 at the Fillmore

LCD Soundsystem’s heavy dance anthems combine with experimental rock, disco, and even hints of punk to make for great music for jamming, head-bobbing, or — and our personal preference — full-on shake-every-muscle-in-your-body dance moves. When we heard last week of LCD Soundsystem’s fall tour announcement with Hot Chip, we’re not…

Concert Review: Robert Plant at Bayfront Park Amphitheater, July 31

Robert Plant and the Band of JoyBayfront Park Amphitheater, MiamiSaturday, July 31, 2010Robert Plant is born again. Well, okay, perhaps not in the religious sense…. Although in Saturday night’s spectacular showing, he and his magnificent Band of Joy did a fair amount of testifying via some gospel-tinged material. Rather, he’s…

Glasseater Final Reunion Show at Churchill’s on Saturday

This year has been good for old South Florida favorites reuniting, from Floor, to Timescape Zero, and now to Glasseater. (Could a Disney Violence reunion from those old and bald fucks be too far off into the future? Who knows!)On Saturday night, Glasseater will take the Churchill’s stage for the…

Strange Days #3

This Thursday’s free show at Bar continues Roofless Records’ ongoing series at the venue showcasing the best of, well, the strange. That’s strangely good, though. No matter how left-field Roofless’s performer picks might seem, they never devolve into the kind of clatter of, say, experimental noise or whatever else along…

Freddie Gibbs

With his deep-voiced delivery, rough-hewn honesty, and laid-back swagger, rapper Freddie Gibbs offers the perfect amalgam of his Midwest roots and latter-day L.A. residence. As Gibbs’s recent single, “The Ghetto,” declares, he was raised in “the ghetto, the ghetto-ghetto” (in case there was any question) of Gary, Indiana, where corrupt…

Ke$ha

In 2005, when Ke$ha was just a glimmer in the eye of the reality-TV wave, her random appearance on The Simple Life was a harbinger: Like Paris Hilton back then, Ke$ha rose earlier this year, seemingly out of nowhere, to startling ubiquity. By combining hard-house-appropriated dance pop with singsong-couplet rapping,…

Sunset Music Festival

Sprawling event space Soho Studios, in the heart of Wynwood’s warehouse district, seems to be tailor-made for massive, all-night parties. Indeed, few promoters have been able to truly pack the cavernous venue into a critical crowd mass. So we salute the promoters of the Sunset Music Festival for trying, and…

Sigmund Floyd, In the Pink at Van Dyke Tonight

You might well be one of a large constituency who’s already had in reserve your tickets to one of Roger Water’s two shows this November 13 and 14 at the BankAtlantic Center for a few months now. Hell, you might be one of those who’s diligently procured some sort of…

Bachaco Plays Jazid This Saturday With Skampida

If you haven’t caught Bachaco live, you’re missing out. Sure, you might be following them on Twitter, or friends with them on Facebook. Or maybe you sit at work jamming to tracks off their Myspace page. But the fact is, very simply, if you aren’t catching them live, you are…
