(Apologies for the third person title.) Tonight, I’ll be moderating the third Miami Vinyl local music history/discussion panel at the MAM! It’s part of the programming that goes along with their current vinyl-centric show “The Record”, which is awesome and I hope that if you’re reading this blog that you’ve gone and checked it out already!
Anyhow, it’s going to be a great night, seating starts at 6pm and the panel starts at 6:30. The panelists are all fantastic and there will be a reception afterward with complimentary drinks and tunes by DJ Manuvers. You can read more about it here. See you tonight!
Our list (Shake305@gmail.com) gets you free admission before midnight, and Colt 45 cans are $1 from 10-12 for the early win! El Shake welcomes you to a night of Tropical Bass Con Lechon, cafe, live Latin portait painting by GWIZ DAM y mas sorpresas! Come get it.
Well how do you do indeed: next Tuesday Motown-pop revivalist MAYER HAWTHORNE comes to Miami! We’ve seen him live a couple of times and he puts on a really fun show. Read/look/listen here.

Our search for new vegan empanadas is thankfully over! Thanks to your friends at Come Bebe, you can now enjoy fresh, toasty, savory empanadas once again at Sweat. They’re $3 each and are available in two flavors (spiced collard greens, yukon potatoes, peas and fennel, or sweet boniato with dates, roasted peppers, mushroom and tomatoes).
Come by and try one and tell us what you think! Based on customer feedback we’ll either change up flavors or keep ‘em steady. For custom orders (they do full catering), you can email comebebeinfo [at] gmail [dot] com.

Tonight we have an exciting live performance by the man known as BBQ, who formerly teamed up with King Khan and Black Lips as the Almighty Defenders, doing his thing solo as MARK SULTAN. He’s stopping by FATV for the Miami stop of his “War on Rock’n'Roll” tour with a sound that blends doo-wop, r& b, punk, soul, garage-rock, psyche, country and even noise. Catch him live at midnight in The Vagabond main room, and have your mind blown!
It’s Critical Mass tonight, so the club opens at 9pm with secure bike parking, like we do every month for the occasion. Everyone gets in free before 11pm, and the PBR tallboys are only $1 from 9 to 12! Check Brian Butler’s wicked poster below for more drink specials, and all the DJs making you dance til 5am. See you there.
The Vagabond gets attacked by a giant prehistoric shark this Thursday! The club’s soundsystem, and all of Miami may not be ready for the heavy LA dubstep sound of MEGALODON. His production have been featured by legends Plastician, Skream & Benga on Rinse FM and BBC, taking his sound to the world. Our friends Hatcha and N-Type signed him to Sin City, and he has a couple bangers coming out on BassHead Music so there’s no stopping his takeover after GET LOW.
He may not look like a shark, but his sound bites like one!
Without BassHead Music there would be no GET LOW, and we’re super proud to throw down for their 11th Birthday! JUAN BASSHEAD will be performing his first all-BassHead set for the occasion, so make sure you don’t miss history. ASHWORTH, RACKUP & PINION, MC JUMANJI & NOME. Sweatstock performer ARK IX is joined by HENRY KRINKLE and MAGOULA on the Radical Patio, while A-TRAIN and guest DJ SUN OF SOUL tear up the (((SHAKE))) room. See you at The Vagabond for another legendary bass night!
At long last it’s back! Waffle Party is happening at Sweat on Sunday, May 6th from 11am to 3pm. We’re celebrating as part of the Global Vegan Waffle Party initiative, and not only that but we’ve got complimentary bloody marys courtesy of 42 Below vodka! Mark your calendars.
May 25th 8:00 pm
We're excited to have Miami-based spacey-electronic duo Cog Nomen performing on the Sweat stage for the first time! Joining them are phAxas ...
