If you think you’ve got a better idea about what to do this Saturday than Caturday, you’re fooling yourself, buddy. This third annual feline-friendly party is bringing whiskers and pretty pink noses to the space now known as Stache. Though the look has changed quite a bit since it was…
Dennis Miller made himself chuckle onstage last night at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida, with the line, “Arabs will go to the moon when the Israelis set up camp there.” Hardy fucking har? Out of context, it doesn’t make much sense, but the parts are what are important here…
Jenna Balfe climbs through mangroves. Her strong, lean body weaves through the intricately tangled branches. This is her art, her dance, and her healing. She knows that she probably won’t fall, but if she does, Balfe, a clear-thinking, creative individual, will take whatever shit situation befalls her, learn from it,…
We’ve had privilege of introducing you last week to Ketchy Shuby’s “Key Elements of Life.” It was the first in a series of videos shot live as part of Unit 1 Sessions, Jacques de Beaufort’s visual and audio project. At his Lake Worth art space, in collaboration with Reel Tone…
When I first caught Ketchy Shuby live in 2011, opening for Surfer Blood and the Spam Allstars, my eyes pulsed and my ears dilated. I remember looking around, just kind of being like, “These guys are maybe really good?!” It was a DWNTWN Concert Series on Biscayne Bay, and though…
We can debate eternally about whether the term hipster is “over” or even what characteristics truly define these typically slender snobs, but we’d rather just point out what they have in common with hippies. Why? Because the internet is our brain playground, and we can do whatever we want on…
Right before we spoke, Jacques de Beaufort had just read the popular, amusing, and somewhat accurate phrase: “D.C. is L.A. for ugly people.” This particularly struck a chord with the brains and brawn behind Lake Worth’s art and music space Unit 1. Starting out in the District, he came to…
We all know Hillary Rodham Clinton is running for prez again no matter what she isn’t saying. This weekend, someone totally showed me a pic of Katy Perry and HillC on Instagram, I thought, “Well, that makes sense.” Perry’s a dem who once told GQ she won Wisconsin for the…
These sweaty summer gay Pride days are the actualization of Rainbow Brite’s outfit: fully colorful and original yet classic. While the sun is still shining and folks in floats are throwing Mardi Gras beads at outstretched hands, swinging their ass cheeks side to side, times are good. You know, before…
Though Chloe Dolandis is a Boca native who continues to live and make music in her hometown, we first were alerted to her talents while in conversation at the absurdly delicious food counter at Miami’s Honey Tree. After a Wiki search, it became clear Dolandis is someone worth following up…
On the FM dial (or button), 103.5 used to mean SHE’s Only Rock N Roll. Once that very beloved ship sank, it later became the Beat, which offered a comprehensive selection of contemporary hop-hop, which got us flipping back to the station. Then in 2010, the 103.5 we’d grown to…
The internet is abuzz over Weezer’s drummer Patrick Wilson catching a frisbee while drumming and continuing to play “Beverly Hills.” That was at their St. Augustine show last week. And though it is impressive to say the least, I’m more excited that he played and sang Blur’s “Song 2” on…
Recently, the Alternative Press alerted the internet about perhaps the most disturbing musical trend happening now: dubstep mosh pits. The idea of moshing to dubstep brings out a conflicting set of emotions. It’s exciting to watch people slam their bodies into each other, but to the soundtrack of this most…
This week, a classic Churchill’s Pub lineup is moving north to Fort Lauderdale. Though the Little Haiti bar remains open under new ownership, it’s not clear whether the folks now in charge will keep up with the experimental movement that’s been burgeoning there for the past 30 years. Luckily, Art…
A Morrissey concert is a particularly emotional experience for everyone. From the most rabid Smiths-loathing, beef-loving haters to the people who still buy Morrissey’s new albums and weep openly at the shows all over Moz tour T’s, the crowd is a hotbed for feelings. Last Saturday night at the Arsht…
I suppose it’s debatable, but Pinkerton is actually one of the best albums ever. Like all kinds of music or books or visual arts, you have to encounter an album or song or band at a certain time in your life for it to really hit heavy. Like if you…
This past weekend, West Palm Beach’s Convention Center got all sticky with needles and antiseptic for the first annual Tattoo Mania. The place featured international tattoo artists as well as a few celebs. We spoke with local artists from Aces High and Ink Link, as well as Big Gus of…
No matter how shitty your shitty day was, even the mere idea of Keyboard Cat’s return is enough to make the sides of your frowny mouth turn upward. But what if the internet’s most talented musical cat performed one of the best songs of all time? For sure, that’d make…
Adam Matza makes music and does spoken word. And though he’d taken a break from the music scene for a while, he’s returning reinvigorated with a vengeance and a focus on bringing experimental live sounds of the verbal and (in the broadest sense) instrumental sort closer to his Broward County…
Editor’s note: After 35 years, Miami’s Churchill’s Pub in Little Haiti is switching hands and changing course. An oral history on this legendary venue will be published next week. More than six months ago, my mom gave me a big bag of papers she was still hoarding from my childhood…
You can spend your summer months tripping balls while the A/C unit in your mom’s trailer blasts wet-smelling, cold air at your melting face, or you can find something kind of cool to do with your time. Just because it feels like you’re living in Lucifer’s clammy crotch from May…
Sweet penis lollipops! The irreverent and titillating porn convention Exxxotica bathed Fort Lauderdale in pasties, asscheeks, pleather, and whips for the second year in a row. And, perverts that we are, we went back to speak with porn stars, horny folks, those who peddle BSDM gear, and other attendees of…
