   FLOOR.

   posted by Lolo

   Legendary Miami band FLOOR reunites tonight at Churchill’s for what is sure to be an epic(ly loud) show.  The press release for the show does a better job of explaining than we could so read on, RSVP on Facebook and see you tonight!

   

   Celebrating the release of their “Below & Beyond” box set, FLOOR will be getting back together to play four shows in the southeast. In keeping with the chronology and theme of the box set, the shows will reflect the lineups of each era of the band: Betty will be playing drums for songs from the early days, followed by Jeff on drums from the Dove era, and end with Henry stomping his way through the Floor album. And, of course, Steve and Anthony on vocals and guitars.
   FLOOR was formed in 1992 by Steve Brooks (guitar), Anthony Vialon (bass), and Betty Monteavaro (drums). Jeff Sousa became the drummer in late 1993, at which time Steve and Anthony switched to two low-tuned guitars with no bassist. Early influences included MELVINS and GODFLESH, later developing their own sound of melodic, pop-infused doom. Several vinyl-only 7″ EPs were released before their first break in 1996. The band reformed with a new lineup for one show in 1997 with Henry Wilson on drums and practiced only occasionally until 2001. 2002 saw the release of their first full-length album, self-titled Floor, before splitting in 2003 for good.

   Tomorrow at The Vagabond: POP GLOW + Laura (Of Miami)

   posted by Lolo

   In addition to all the regular reasons to come to Fridays at The Vagabond (great music, cheap drinks, nice people), this week we are excited to bring you two extra-awesome bonus incentives!

   Orlando’s POP GLOW arose from the ashes of Joy Division tribute band par excellence 3 One G, who summoned Ian Curtis & co at The Vagabond many moons ago.  Pop Glow has a decidedly brighter future, making super-catchy, bouncy, vocoded electropop.  Pop Glow play live in the main room at midnight!  (It’s also worth noting that later this month they’re playing the Total Bummer festival in Gainesville, which looks like anything but!)

   Following Pop Glow, DJ extraordinaire LAURA (OF MIAMI) from WVUM will rock the decks in the main room!  She’s got impeccable taste and is absolutely one of the best selectors in the city.  If you haven’t heard her yet, here’s your chance.  Read a great article about her here, check out her blog, and listen to WVUM on Mondays from 5-7 to hear her fabulous “Vamos A La Playa” show.

   RSVP on Facebook and see you Friday!

   

   P.S. The Miami Critical Mass BIKE PROM ends at The Vagabond this Friday so dress up and ride out!

   IronForge x Surfer Blood POSTER

   posted by Lolo

   By now you’ve all heard about the fact that we’ve got West Palm Beach’s SURFER BLOOD at Fridays at The Vagabond tomorrow, that they’ve been featured in the New York Times, by Rolling Stone, a recent lead story for the Broward New Times, and that scrooge-y old Pitchfork made their single “Swim” number 37 on their list of the top tracks of the year.

   What you haven’t heard, is that Sweat and The Vagabond have teamed up with IronForge Press to make a sick silk-screened limited edition poster for the show!
