All About Ahol!
posted by Jsin

This Thursday in Miami is officially AHOL SNIFFS GLUE day! First stop on the Ahol train is Butter Gallery for the opening of his solo exhibition 7.625 FL OZ. He’s been working hard non-stop on this show, so Miami needs to come out and show some love. Read this City Link article to get a preview of some of the work shown. The opening will be from 7-11pm at 2303 NW 2nd Ave, just look for the building with the trademark eyeballs all over the front…

Of course the after-party is going down at the jam he helped create, the one and only (((SHAKE)))!!! It’s Ahol’s Birthday this night as well, and he’s requested the presence of the Mixtape King. That’s right, the legendary DJ TONY TOUCH will be in the building! Get your Vagabond wristband from the Butter Gallery, and get in free until Midnight! You can also get in free by taking home the limited edition Ahol Sniffs Glue T-shirt we just had made. Seeing Tony Touch for free means you have no reason to miss getting loose with us. Do your job.

Sweat’s 5-Year + Record Store Day 2010 = SWEATSTOCK!
posted by Lolo

Dear friends, it’s hard to believe but Sweat Records is about to turn FIVE FREAKIN’ YEARS OLD! On Saturday, March 12th, 2005 Sweat opened its doors for the first time to the cheers of music-loving Miamians and has kept the spirit alive ever since.

So mark your calendars for ***SWEATSTOCK*** ON SATURDAY, APRIL 17th!* We’re celebrating and giving back by throwing a FREE, ALL-AGES BLOCK PARTY with live music, food, friends and more, and we are excited as all get-out to finally announce that the headliner of this lil’ festival will be

NO AGE (Sub Pop Records)!!!!!!

They rock live and we know you’ll love them (and we’re sure they’ll love our vegan cupcakes). If you haven’t heard them, take a listen on myspace, read some reviews, or check our their blog.

Joining them on the main stage will be some of Miami’s best live acts including ANR, The Jacuzzi Boys, Otto Von Schirach and more TBA, with more Sweat elements in the mix with the Casa De Ha-Ha comedians, a Pure Imagination reading, aquatic projections by Morphologic Studios and beyond! We’ll be announcing more details as the event gets closer.

This third Saturday in April is also the 3rd annual international RECORD STORE DAY so we’ll have all the amazing releases available exclusively to independent record stores. We’ll be opening early at 10am that day for the RSD crowd. Learn more about the holiday and the insane limited edition releases coming out on their website.

I know we’ll say it again but thank you all so much for five incredible years. If you want to get involved or volunteer for Sweatstock, please send us an email!

*Fun fact: a few years ago we started celebrating in April to factor in the time we were closed post-hurricane and to avoid WMC and then-Langerado madness. Now you know.

Scott Walker “30 Century Man” Miami Premiere Monday!
posted by Lolo

Monday night we are VERY excited to be presenting the official Miami premiere of an excellent music documentary! 30 Century Man chronicles the life and artistic career of music icon Scott Walker. Though American, he was mostly successful in the UK, starting off as more of a crooner and then veering into the avant-garde. The documentary was executive-produced by David Bowie and features interviews with him, Radiohead, Brian Eno, Damon Albarn, Johnny Marr and many more.

This BAFTA-nominated documentary explores Scott Walker’s music and career, from his early days as a gun-for-hire bass player on the Sunset Strip, to heartthrob mega-stardom in Britain’s 60’s pop scene, and finally his transformation to respected composer and avant-garde musician, reclusively shying away from the spotlight.

It was voted one of Time Out London’s 50 Greatest Music Films Ever. Watch the trailer below and join us Monday night. Seating at 8, film at 8.30 and we’ll even have a stack of copies to give away via raffle. See you there!
