January’s concert calendar for South Florida is shaping up to be fairly tepid in terms of big-name out-of-towners, with an unusual exception this Sunday. It’s then that Grand Central and the Rhythm Foundation present a performance that should be required attendance for anyone who claims to love soul, funk, jazz, and, frankly, hip-hop: a headlining [...]
As we post this, no fireballs are pouring from the sky, and our cats haven’t risen up and eaten us yet. Guess there’s no apocalypse after all — which means you can still go out this weekend. It also means that those “end of the world” themed events scheduled for tonight are just, uh, regular [...]
Underground icon Daniel Johnston’s show in Miami on Friday involved a lot of rarities. It was Johnston’s first show in Miami proper ever. It was one of the first large-scale evenings of both art and music by the same person at Grand Central. It was also a rare show in Miami that started and ended [...]

It’s Thanksgiving Eve — in other words, your Friday, if you’re a nine-to-fiver, and your time to get drunk, if you’re shirking cooking duties and like to face family with a raging hangover. Yes, since All of Nightlife convened for a round-table meeting some years ago, the Wednesday before Turkey Day has been dubbed one [...]
The ten-year-old Kitsune collective is one of those impossibly cool, impossibly French creative groups that manages to stay one step ahead of the pack. It started largely as a fashion label, but it’s the group’s musical arm that’s scored the most worldwide traction. Through its blog and especially its club night, Kitsune promotes artists who [...]
Today officially kicks off the third annual “Miami Live Music Month” — though, if you read this and other local sites, you already know that there’s plenty of live music here, every month. Still, we’re behind this effort. Despite other past fly-by-night events mostly backed by outsiders (see: the short-lived, disastrous “Miami Music Festival”), this [...]
When U.K. producer SBTRKT released his debut self-titled album last year on Young Turks, it won scores of fans for its warm, bass-heavy electronic soul. The record picked up some of the most vibrant strains of London’s underground scene, from garage to soul, but made it all relatable with heavy doses of moody R&B vocals. [...]

Or maybe the experience wasn’t so awesome or helpful, but we’re sticking, steadfast and stubborn, to what we set out for in the first place. Joshua Miller, the executive director and founder of [...]

It was a miniscule margin of a win—about 50.7%–and as of this write-up, a contested verdict. But if you’re the average United Statesian, you are less aware [...]
