Vegan Brunch Is ON This Sunday
posted by Lolo

On Saturday night at Sweat we’ve got an awesome show and movie screening – Atlanta’s JANE JANE POLLOCK perform and we’ll be screening “Cutler Ridge cult classic” Angel Eyes 2 (2002) . The New Times did a great write-up of the show and we’ve got free CDs the band sent down available at the front counter.

Then on Sunday roll your happy behind out of bed because his week is the last Earthcakes Vegan Brunch for a little while! The crew are going on vacation so come out starting at 11am to enjoy the spread.

The last brunch was so packed we completely sold out of food by 3pm so arrive early to fill your belly.

We’re also planning some Sunday waffle parties in the meantime to go along with our new Sunday hours so we’ll definitely keep you posted on that.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

The people have spoken, so Sweat Records is happy to announce that you can come get cozy with us during our new SUNDAY HOURS! From now on the store’s operating hours will be as follows:

Noon to 10pm TUESDAY through SATURDAY

Noon to 6pm SUNDAYS

Closed MONDAYS

We’ve changed them on our site, Facebook, Yelp, Google and as many places as we could find but if you see our info with the wrong hours somewhere please let us know.

We were originally closed Mondays but switched it up when we moved into the temporary space in the back at Churchill’s. Now that we’ve been solidly in our own space for almost three years we want to be open all weekend for everyone who’s busy during the week. As always, stay tuned to our Events Page for all of our upcoming in-stores and a huge list of all the coolest happenings in South Florida.

Cheers!

This Just In

This Heart Electric – Polar b/w Nowhere To Run 7”

Nothing sounds sweeter than new vinyl from Miami. We’re thrilled to carry the debut EP from Ricardo Guerrero’s (Animals of the Arctic, hahahelp!, Death To The Sun) This Heart Electric solo project, on Ohio-based label die Stasi (also released the Electric Bunnies/Pink Reason split 7”, not to mention records by Zola Jesus and U.S. Girls). A true single with a bombastic, gloom-synth A-Side (love the howling vocals), and a more subdued, home-taper (Ariel Pink, Dino Felipe, etc) viber on the flip. An essential document from Miami, Florida at the end of the beginning of the new millenium.

After the cut: new records from No Age, David Cross and The Vaselines.

Faces come out of the rain (when you’re strange)
posted by Matt P (Roofless Rex)

Tonight, Saturday August 28th, 10pm, Roofless Records presents the fourth edition of our monthly flagship experimental music showcase, STRANGE DAYS. The name of the game is diversity, and the name of our headliners is actually the names of the individual performers. Alex Diaz (electronics), Eric Lopez-Zareno (saxophone and guitar) and Ed Wilcox (wipeout percussion) are known independently for their work as Xela Zaid, Teepee and Temple of Bon Matin. When the trio gets together they display their incredible prowess for group improvisation as they artfully wander through unpredictable free noise jams with heavy jazz undertones. A rare performance from a true supergroup! Check out this video of Diaz, Lopez-Zareno, & Wilcox at Churchill’s last September.

Making their Miami debut will be The Band In Heaven, a shoegaze duo with a forthcoming split tape with Surfer Blood side-project, Weird Wives (who, by the way, will be performing next Friday at The Guest Lab). Also performing: Peasants With Feathers, Otto Von Schirach‘s voodoo witch doctor playing “space music,” and 5,000 year old hip-hop collective, Dismas Gestas.

Background sound by: King Pubert, DJ Laz and DJ K-Hole, spinning 60s rock, 70s proto/punk, 80s new wave, 90s grunge & indie, Dead Milkmen remixes, local favorites and much more. As always, Bar = no cover / cheap drinks / no hassle.
