Performance space the Bubble will host its third all-female art revue, Trouble with Girls, Saturday. The event usually takes place over Valentine’s Day weekend, or at least it has the last two years. But this year, there’s a different kind of celebration coinciding with the show. If you’re unlucky enough to be by the beach [...]
Saturday night brought yet another onslaught of slack-stringed stoner-doom destruction to Miami, courtesy of the bands ASG, Cough, and the shotgun-toting, pot-loving, sludge-metal maniacs of Weedeater. Between the three touring acts and locals Ether and Shroud Eater, the show was a veritable buffet of different stoner-metal subgenres, ranging from painfully slow funeral marches to rocking [...]
As this is the week that over 700 independent record stores gear up for Record Store Day 2012, it’s more than appropriate — and almost sacrilegious not to — to spout off about the evils of corporate record store chains. But once in a great while they can help serve a higher purpose — like [...]
South Florida sludge junkies and decibel devotees have been getting more than their fair share of prize offerings when it comes to recent shows. Between performances by genre definers EyeHateGod and Corrosion of Conformity, last Saturday’s Torche/Hawg Jaw show, and the hometown date with reanimated Miami legends Floor, you might think the area could use a [...]
Last night’s Corrosion of Conformity show at Grand Central may not have been packed, but it brought out some of the best Miami metal has to offer. Local favorites Shroud Eater, Consular, and Holly Hunt warmed up the crowd for CoC, who blasted the audience with some loud guitar and heavy-punk muscle when they took [...]
Last night’s Corrosion of Conformity show at Grand Central in downtown Miami wasn’t exactly packed. Blame it on the fact that it was a Monday night, or more likely, on the band’s extended absence from the area (and, recently, the Billboard charts). The group’s last show in Miami was in 1997, and if you’re an [...]
Monday’s show at Grand Central marks a rarity for South Florida metal and hardcore heads. When Corrosion of Conformity appears to headline the sprawling downtown Miami venue, not only will it be the band’s only Florida show on its current run, but it’ll be the band’s first in our pocket of the state in 15 [...]
Last Friday’s Floor reunion show at Churchill’s was, unsurprisingly, entertaining enough just for its audience. With a crowd ranging from lifelong Kendall bros to facially tattooed crusties, those assembled represented almost a who’s-who of anyone with any vague connection to the band over the past two decades. As many in the crowd had aged gracefully [...]
At Janette Valentine’s day job, it’s all press-on eyelashes, pin curls, high glamour, and behind-the-lens flattery as the creator of Terribly Girly Photography. But outside the 9-to-5, she serves as the bassist in Miami stonery-sludge outfit Shroud Eater. It’s the dirty rock and roll yin to her otherwise primped girlie-girl yang. Together with guitarist/vocalist Jean [...]
You already know this: while earning your college degree was informative and pleasant enough, plenty of us head in a different direction. 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 [...]
Venezuela has been in the media lately: following the death of Hugo Chávez, his chosen successor, Nicolas Maduro, beat challenger Henrique Capriles in the current election for presidency. 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 [...]
