Memorial Day isn’t even over yet and we’re already thinking about this weekend when the shop will host a one-two punch of showcases overflowing with talented locals.
Saturday night (*please note the 7PM start time*), Mind Blown Films hosts a benefit show for their festival, featuring various expressions of the rock/garage idiom as enunciated by Paper Elephants, Shaft Squad, The Fringe and Toad Eyes.
[UPDATE] As we unfortunately announced last night, Aeroplane missed his flight. Ironic, yes. Never fear, this show will be rescheduled for another Friday in September. Thanks for understanding and still coming out and having a great time. Time to get excited for CREEP’s Miami debut next Friday!
A Fridays at The Vagabond favorite returns to take over the dance floor tonight! If you missed the last time he played or just need a refresher of the incredible journey Belgian producer AEROPLANE is going to take you on, just press play below.
In our ongoing quest to supply Miami with the finest vegan treats available, we now carry the full line of GoMaxGo candy bars!
Come visit us today and pick up a Jokerz (Snickers), Twilight (Milky Way), Mahalo (Almond Joy) or Buccaneer (Three Musketeers). They’re only $2.50 each and they’re made with rice milk chocolate which is amazing! Most vegan sweets tend to opt for dark chocolate so this is a very welcome new option.
We’re also fully stocked up with Sweet & Sara‘s marshmallows, smores, macaroons, rocky road bark and krispy treats! Stop by and get your sugar fix today.
Calling all dubstep heads! Tomorrow The Vagabond’s (((SHAKE))) crew welcomes you all to a taste of deep sub bass for free! Just send your names to SHAKE305@gmail.com and get there before 11pm. Our special guest for the evening is NOAH D coming straight out of Portland with a rep as one of the best stateside dubstep producers around. His heavily dub influenced dubstep has been released by the legendary H.E.N.C.H label as well as Miami’s own BassHead Music. Naturally JUAN BASSHEAD and MC JUMANJI will be on hand to support. Also dropping sets will be TROPICS, OKULUS ANOMALI, INDOVISUAL, MR. JONES and WARP9. Get ready for some seeerious bass!
Opening up the room that night will be another GET LOW resident DJ ASHWORTH. If you were at our Bang Bros Bash last Thursday you caught his killer main room Tropical Bass set opening up for Garcia. Expect another big dose of Moombahton, Tribal Guarachero, Moombahcore and more stuff like this…
Resident DJs A-TRAIN & ROB RIGGS rock the bar with the hip hop steez. Arrive early to get in free, and take advantage of our $1 Colt 45 Tallboys before 11pm. Do Your Job.
Last May our first ever Waffle Party was held as part of the Global Vegan Waffle Party movement. As you probably have heard (or tasted), we’ve kept hosting them at the shop throughout the year and they’ve become a sensation.
Well Global Vegan Waffle Party 2011 is here! Come to Sweat this Saturday as we’ll be opening EARLY at 11am for SERIOUS WAFFLEAGE. For $6 get a fresh, made-to-order vegan Belgian waffle and access to our sumptuous topping bar with a myriad of options. Sweat’s full coffee and treat bar will be available as well.
The waffles are hot until 3pm, and then stay put right afterward for another wonderful installment of PURE IMAGINATION LIVE! This month’s theme is “Alt Disney” so it’s sure to be a hit, with live musical accompaniment, visuals, and more.
The waffles are delicious and the show is free, please join us this Saturday!
Lady Lazarus is a one-woman band / home-taper for fans of Mount Eerie, Beach House, Cat Power, Grouper, and other practitioners of low-volume methods. North and South and Toad Eyes are rock bands (post- and psych-, respectively). Here is the event on Facebook.
Tonight, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Brian Olive (Greenhornes, Soledad Bros.) plays at Churchill’s. His latest album was co-produced by Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys), with whom he’s slated share the stage along with Dr. John at this year’s Bonaroo Festival. Opening the show are Where’s Billy? (UK) and local favorites, Deaf Poets.
Next Tuesday, May 31st, is a night we’ve been waiting for – The Bonny Free Florida Tour comes to Miami! Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & The Cairo Gang will play a free, all-ages show at Sweat. This is sure to be an unforgettable evening, so don’t miss it. To get in the mood for next week, check out the newest Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy song/video “There Is No God” from his forthcoming 10” EP, out on Drag City June 21st.
Cornelius – Gum LP: Cornelius has long been a favorite here at Sweat Records. Once aptly described as “the missing link between Aphex Twin and the Beach Boys,” this new eight track vinyl EP has collaborations with Ryuichi Sakomoto and Petra Hayden, and remixes by Prefuse 73 and The Books.
Holly Golightly – Truly She Is None Other LP: Another album that was on heavy rotation in the early days of Sweat. Think a slightly modern update on Miss Patsy Cline–twangy, mellow, and sometimes plaintive, but with plenty of sass and swagger. Rachel Goodrich fans will definitely dig this too!
Millionyoung – Replicants LP: New full-length album from South Florida’s own Mike Diaz aka Millionyoung. We’ve also got the CD version and the 7″ for the single “Perfect Eyes”. Click here for the ANR remix of his song “Weak Ends”.
