It’s been a slow summer for the Miami quartet Mendacity, whose last show was this past March, and in Orlando, to boot, at that city’s stop of the Taste of Chaos tour. A few months’ break is no big deal for this long-running band, though — the foursome came together…
First, the Pitchfork TV love, and now, an interview in another national indie taste-maker mag. Awesome New Republic is (finally!) properly on the verge of a breakout beyond this peninsula. Starting yesterday, Filter magazine began posting a three-part Q&A with ANR on its web site. (The third part is dated…

Raffa and Rainer’s beloved Can You Rock a Little Softer night long ago moved on from Churchill’s. But for the summer, at least, you can still get your Wednesday night fix of local acoustic music at the sort-of English pub. As we reported here before on Crossfade, the weekly event,…
The local progressive/rock/whatever trio Jacob’s Ladder just does not stop. The last time we checked in with these 23-year-olds, just this past May, they were debuting some new tracks and setting off on a national tour through New England and the South. Well, one national summer tour is not enough…
Here’s a rough trailer for Invisible Bands, an in-the-works documentary of Miami’s late ’70s/early ’80s rock scene by a guy who lived it: Greg McLaughlin. Back in those days, McLaughlin was the lead man for the Front, an amazing local post-punk/new wave act that took a few pages from the…

To get to the crade of some of South Florida’s best rock ‘n’ roll, head west on Yamato Road in Boca. Drive past a few strip malls, turn past the most massive one, and keep driving until the big-box stores finally fall away, replaced by the winding, sweeping vistas of…
How time flies. I first caught Bad Religion as a very young teenager at the 1998 edition of the Warped Tour, and they were a classic act then. The genres represented on this tour have widened a whooooole lot since then, and the face of punk and its offshoots has…

(This previous Crossfade post about it definitely devolved into a mess of strike-throughs.)So here’s…

A quick scan of the crowd showed I wasn’t the only one floored by these Swedes’ straight-up vintage-sounding, heavy psych onslaught. Well, maybe that crushing feeling was partly…
John Digweed is not only one of the biggest superstar DJs ever, but he’s got a heart just as extra-large. The man has spun to thousands at the biggest venues and festivals in the world, but tonight he touches down at the Vagabond for a more intimate, down-to-earth event. He…
Last month’s So Raw Festival in Miami was one of the best recent celebrations of the city’s burgeoning underground garagey rock and roll thing. (Click here for a slideshow of photos from the event, and here for a review). It was also one of the best deals in town: Admission…
It’s impossible to hyperbolize here: the Brit DJ titan John Digweed — along with longtime partner Sasha — is progressive house. Digweed started DJing as a young teen in the late ’70s and early ’80s, but it was in the early ’90s that he finally got his big break, spinning…

On Crossfade, I’ve been following the Boca rock and rollers of Stonefox as they’ve worked in their home studio, and prepared for their upcoming July 30 CD release show at Propaganda. (For a refresher, click here for a free MP3 from that new album, Back on the Wire.)I visited them…
Bands, you probably already know about and use Sonicbids. So you’ll know that the site is also a gateway for local bands to score slots at big-deal events and festivals. Recently, local act the Mission Veo submitted a demo through Sonicbids and scored a gig at the local stop of…
The South Florida stop of the Blazed and Confused tour, originally scheduled for August 1 at Bayfront Park in Miami, has been canceled. Promotion company AEG Live says it’s due to “scheduling conflicts,” and, strangely, the whole date seems to have been moved north to Orlando’s Hard Rock Live, according…
