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!

Tonight at the shop we welcome a live performance by Miami indie/electro/rockers PEOPLE FROM VENUS!
They just released a new album (“Toot Toot Yeah”, available at Sweat) and have been racking up all sorts of press, playing all over town, and giving out free remixes, so come to Sweat tonight for an intimate in-store appearance! No cover, and it starts at 8.30pm.
The party continues afterward at The Vagabond… Forget spring break, this is Spring (((SHAKE)))! Quart-chugging, Nintendo, backyard BBQ – it’s all there, with DJs DOORMOUSE, ALEX CASO, A-TRAIN + THE WHISPER keeping the party poppin’ all night.
RSVP to shake305@gmail.com for free admission before 11. Do your job!

It’s only been two weeks since the last time (((SHAKE))) got low (“My Invented Country” photos here), but Miami just can’t get enough bass! By popular demand we’re bringing GET LOW back this Thursday with DJs JUAN BASSHEAD, SOMEJERK back to back with METHODUS, WRECK, ASHWORTH, GOODDROID dropping the best dubstep and party bass around. THE NOME will be holding down the MC duties, as JUMANJI parties up for his Birthday! Come celebrate with us. Come Get Low.

If you haven’t seen ANIMAL TROPICAL live yet, then rejoice and come out because they will be taking the stage this Friday at The Vagabond!
We unabashedly love this South Florida foursome who, while hard to describe, are making some of the best and most unique music in the current creative atmosphere. They also dress sharp, make cool videos and put on a great show (which you can see for yourself this week). You can read more about them from some press quotes we posted after the jump.
We’ve posted this before but their awesome EP “Doom Years” is still available for free from the link below. Get it and see you Friday!

We’ve got lots of great stuff coming up for Fridays at The Vagabond…We already enjoyed really (really!) great sets from Life Of Seals and Sweet Bronco, this week we’ve got guest DJ MGA back in the house to rock the decks in the main room!
Coming up…next week is tuneful Miami trio Ex-Norwegian, followed by Astari Nite celebrating the release of their new EP (and their song’s inclusion in RockBand 2), and then dreamy “chillwave” act Million Young on Friday, February 5th.
All that and three areas of great music, our guy Mo serving up impressive edibles in the Garden, and in case you hadn’t heard our current Fridays drink specials are $2 PBRs or $5 Russian Standard vodka cocktails from 10pm to midnight! That also happens to be the Sweat set time (with either myself or Just Dandy) so arrive early to beat the line, hear some fresh new music and imbibe on the cheap.
Remember: Fridays loves you. No dress code, no bs, just come as you are.

Join us at The Vagabond Friday night for a live performance by Ft. Lauderdale band SWEET BRONCO. You’ll love their electro-organic soul-pop rock syle reminiscent of Band of Horses and Wilco. DJs Mike Deuce, Ray Milian, Lolo, Danny Ashe, UVS + Alex Caso give you 3 rooms of sound to keep the part rockin til 5 in the morning.
On a sadder note, we’re losing a good friend this night. Danny Ashe has been a staple in the South Florida scene; repping good music with Lunabelle, Marqui Adora, Off the Radar, The Vagabond, etc. etc. Every Friday at The Vagabond in the bar room from 12 to 3, you’ve danced to his tunes, or turned to your friend with an, “I love this song!” This is his last night with us, as he travels to Spain to pursue his culinary dreams. We’re all going to miss the guy, so come out and have a goodbye shot with him this Friday!
Arrive before 11 for free entry and $2 PBR or $5 Russian Standard Vodka drinks until Midnight! Come as you are.

After a two week vacation, (((SHAKE))) is back this Thursday! It’s also the 40th Birthday of Miami legend Tom Laroc and we’re honored he’ll be celebrating with us! Expect crazy surprise guests and Tom showing off his amazing Video DJ talents on the big screen. His set was the highlight of Future Classic Festival for me, and he never disappoints when he joins us at The Vagabond. Don’t miss it.
