    Tuesday: A Tribute To TRIBUTE

    posted by Lolo

    Join us at Sweat tomorrow evening as we present a screening of TRIBUTE!

    Back in February, acclaimed Miami choreographer Ana Mendez and art collective Psychic Youth Inc. staged a collaborative performance/seance in tribute to legendary music producer/engineer and cult figure JOE MEEK.

    The night was standing room only and an incredible experience.  Read some reviews over at the Knight Arts Blog and Indie Ethos.

    We’ll be playing the film of the performance as well as footage from the bands that played after the show, including Electric Bunnies + Dino Felipe.  Seating at 8pm, film at 8.30.  No cover!

    THIS JUST IN

    posted by Matt P (Roofless Rex)

    Before we get to the records: Sweat is opening a South Florida-centric webstore and wants to carry your band’s releases and merch. If you’re interested in selling online through Sweat, drop a line to info(a)sweatrecordsmiami.com or swing by the store.

    NEW LOCAL MUSIC

    Beings – ‘LKLL’ b/w ‘Metro Zoo’ 7”

    Discosoma‘s latest single is a 2010 best. Punk-gaze trio Beings have been making a ruckus all over town, from Churchill’s to The Vagabond to Miami Art Museum, and their vinyl debut finally lets you harness the riffs and the reverb from the comfort of your own home entertainment system.

    Partial People – S/T cassette

    New tapes in from Gainesville label, Bored In The U.S.A. Pictured above is the debut release from Partial People (chunky psych-surf-punk) cassette, who are also featured on the new Bored In The U.S.A. sampler with pop-post-punkers St. Dad, Ex-Boogeyman and Post-Teens.

    Surfer Blood – Floating Vibes 7”

    This single is sold out from the label and features a Allen Bickle (Baroness) remix of Surfer Blood’s “Twin Peaks.”

    More new music after the jump.
