You’ve probably drank with or danced around the boys from MODERNAGE at some of Miami’s underground haunts. In case you didn’t know, they’re actually really talented musicians. Find out for yourself when they take the stage at The Vagabond tomorrow. If you’re somehow not familiar, here’s a nice little video featuring some of their exploits…
MODERNAGE performs live in the Main Room at Midnight with DJs RAY MILIAN and MIKE DEUCE holding it down before and after. LOLO, RYDON, and UVS rock the Bar Room while guest DJ AGENT ROSE provides the sound in the Garden. Everyone gets in free before 11pm, and you can get $3 PBR Tallboys and $5 Russian Standard vodka drinks before Midnight. Come as you are.
Commemorating 21 years of the stalwart indie label, Matador Records, the Matador at 21 comes fully loaded: Limited Edition 6CD linen-covered box set with 36 custom poker chips in 3 values, an 85-page perfect bound book with history of the label, photos, ephemera, emails, and more.
5 CDs of REMASTERED songs from the label’s history and 1 CD of unreleased recordings from the 10th Anniversary shows in NYC, 1999, recorded to multitrack via the Rolling Stones Mobile Truck.
ANR – “Big Problem” b/w “Dead Gulf” 7”
The newest 7” in the Discosoma single series featuring rock and roll from Miami (a.k.a. “flannel beach”). Limited to 100, hand-numbered & stamped. Black vinyl w/ individually lino-block printed artwork by the band.
Kurt Vile – Square Shells 12” EP & In Time 7”
Two new E.P.s. from the Philadelphia’s “constant hitmaker”. Nobody mashes feel-good classic rockisms with indie-fuzz charm quite like psych troubadour Kurt Vile.
The extremely talented HELENA GARCIA is the next artist to re-envision The Vagabond back gate in Shake’s Monthly Mural Series. Find her Thursday, January 20th painting live to the sounds of SENSITIVE SIDE and our guest CHUCK LIVID playing a “Livid Records Punk Rock Backyard Battle Royale” set.
Inside we (((SHAKE))) it to the ground with DJs A-TRAIN + DZA while sipping on $5 Cuba Libre’s all night. Get the party started early with Colt 45 Tallboys for only $1 before 11pm! Party for free this Thursday with RSVP to shake305@gmail.com. Meet us at downtown’s finest on 30 NE 14th Street and make sure to Do Your Job.
Tonight at Grand Central (697 N Miami Ave) we’ve teamed up with New Art School to bring LA’s NO AGE (Sub Pop Records) back for a proper Miami show and tour stop!
These guys slayed Sweatstock and have since dropped Everything In Between, an excellent, progressive album that made a ton of critics’ year-end lists and has been on permanent rotation at the shop. Opening up is LA noise artist RENE HELL and Miami’s always-awesome BEINGS!
THIS IS AN EARLY SHOW (doors open at 7, Beings hit the stage at 8 sharp) so no Miami time tonight. The show is just 15 bucks at the door for three great acts so we hope to see you out.
After the show head seven blocks up the street to BAR (28 NE 14th St) as it’s the venue’s 1-year anniversary and Dean and Randy from No Age will be spinning some tunes along with local legend Alex Caso! No cover and goes late… See you tonight!
This Thursday, January 20, Sweat hosts an evening of crude & crass noise, free rock, and other assorted brute-savant idioms, as curated by cult punk-jazz anti-guru Kenny Millions. Doors @ 9PM / No Cover. Facebook RSVP
Ed Wilcox will be performing alongside Eric Lopez-Zareno, a.k.a. Teepee. Videos after the jump. (more…)
Congrats to CB, lucky commenter #18 who won the pair of ticket to see of Montreal tonight at Revolution!
Thanks to all who entered, tickets are still available here for $33.25 with all fees included. Stay tuned right here and to our Facebook or Twitter for more giveaways coming up!
Back in high school I was the Miami street rep for pioneering electro/eclectic record label Emperor Norton (RIP). One day in the mail I got a promo for an album called Miss Kittin and The Hacker. It stood out with minimal yet incredibly catchy retro-influenced beats, aloof yet alluring vocals, and the standout tracks “Frank Sinatra” and “1982″ that remain dancefloor classics to this day.
Since then Miss Kittin (nee Caroline Hervé) has released a handful of great albums and 12″s and established herself as a techno/electro mainstay. The Vagabond and Sweat Records are extremely excited to have her spinning live tonight for her first Miami show in years. She’ll be DJing on the club’s mega Funktion One sound system in the main room around 12.30 so get ready to shake your body like the dance.
Pre-sale tickets are available here until 7pm and we recommend arriving early to avoid the line. $3 PBR tallboys and $5 Russian Standard vodka ’til midnight too. See you tonight.
Congrats to Mason, lucky commenter #22 who was chosen at random for a pair of tickets to see Cake this Friday night at the Sunset Cove Amphitheater. Though it’s a bit out of the way, Sunset Cove is a really cool open-air venue and a great place to see a show and tickets for Cake are still available here.
AND… on to the next giveaway! Tomorrow night OF MONTREAL are playing at Revolution in Ft. Lauderdale and you can enter to win right now. Tickets are available for $33.25 (fees included) but comment below and you might win a pair. This contest closes at 10am Friday morning and all duplicate entries will be deleted so no funny stuff.
