MonteRosa “Vivo En Tu Amor” CD Release Party
MonteRosa �Vivo En Tu Amor� CD Release Party
MonteRosa returns with his third full length production titled “Vivo En Tu Amor”, a fully charged Pop/Rock gem in which all tracks were written and produced by MonteRosa himself.
Following his first two acclaimed and successful albums (Monte*Rosa & 12 Historias En 3 Tonos) which generated hits that topped radio and video charts, placement in multiple internationally transmitted television shows (“Spain…On The Road Again” and Telemundo Networks’ highly rated “La Reina Del Sur”) and independent award winning motion pictures (“Entre Nos”) “Vivo En Tu Amor” is chock full of songs that is destined to bring this Colombian born bilingual singer/songwriter a broader reach.
Vivo En Tu Amor brings the unique Pop/Alternative Rock sound mixed with Latin rhythms and powerful lyrics that symbolize MonteRosa. This production also includes three tracks in English (a not surprising follow-up since his debut album included a popular track in English) “Kitchen”, “Long Way Home” and “Hate Me”, each one a representation of the multi-genre appeal that MonteRosa brings no matter what language they are performed.
MonteRosa’s music is about people, his experiences, his feelings and most importantly what life is all about. Lyrics that inspire; make you reflect and think, accompanied by music that will make the hairs on your back stand and get your butt off the chair, that is MonteRosa and this is Vivo En Tu Amor.
Please visit:http://www.monterosamusic.com/musica to listen to the promotional audio clips from “Vivo En Tu Amor” and his previous productions.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Rose realized she had the gift of singing at a very early age.

Everyone from her mother’s side was a musician. She is the great-grand daughter of the conductor and composer CUPERTINO DE MENEZES and grand daughter of the guitar player and composer MANUEL DE MENEZES. Cupertino, also a flutist, was a band member of a “choro” group led by Callado Junior and Chiquinha Gonzaga, two of the most prominent musicians from this era. Manuel was partner – in music, adventures and “Bohemia – of the most important Brazilian composer in the early 30’s – Noel Rosa.

She started singing professionally with the OCTETO RIO ORCHESTRA performing jn the musically wealthy nightclub scene of Rio. She studied vocal technique with Graciela di Salerno, Nancy Miranda and Suely Mesquita. She also studied theory and ear training at the Instituto Vila Lobos and Centro de Instrução Musical Ian Guest.

Rose graduated with a degree in Portuguese and Literature from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. As a student, she was involved in various theatrical productions with the group “A QUEM INTERESSA.”

Rose Max performed extensively as a soloist with the vocal group AEQUALE under the direction of acclaimed-musical director ANDRÉ PROTÁSIO. Gaining interest and respect locally, she started working with a number of different bands. One of her best experiences was performing at “CLUBE DO SAMBA” (Samba Club) where she had a chance to learn with some of the big names of Brazilian music, such as Maestro Licinho, Neco, Antonio Carlos Tourinho, João Nogueira, and Roberto Ribeiro. She also started working as a session singer, recording jingles and background vocals, which led to the opportunity of backing up some of Brazil’ s most renowned singers.

Rose moved to Miami in October of 1993, where she has been continuing to grow and develop musically, and by keeping a constant performance schedule, she has become highly recognized in the Brazilian, Hispanic and American communities. She won the BRAZILIAN PRESS AWARD for the “Best Female Brazilian Singer Residing and Performing in the USA” in 1997, 1998 and 2001.

“Funk cruises through the Caribbean picking up Afro sounds from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Reggae meets rock in a head-on collision. Jazz and electro hook up for a sidewalk makeout session. Hip-hop seems to hum from the very pavement, and R&B drifts in on the night wind. Suenalo reaches to far-flung corners and retrieves all these, takes them and mashing them together, marrying them—disparate players melded into a somehow harmonious blend. It defies logic that such diverse influences can find balance at the deft hands of one band. And yet they do.
It’s the result of a 10-year process of compromise and of growth between some of South Florida’s most talented musicians, who come together and share an ideal: that music should move their audience. Suenalo’s roster is stacked, with nine fulltime members boasting chops to rival anyone anywhere. Their lineup is a who’s who of brilliant musicians who have not only made their immovable imprint on Miami’s local music scene, but well beyond.”

With a run of songs extending from the 1950s into the 21st century, Jones has had a whopping 143 Top 40 country hits and is frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. He was a co-writer on his first chart hit, 1955’s “Why Baby Why,” and in the ‘60s recorded hundreds of songs including the number one classics “Tender Years,” “She Thinks I Still Care,” “Walk Through This World With Me” as well as more ephemeral fare like “Love Bug.”

Jones paired up with producer Billy Sherrill in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and their work together exemplified the lusciously string-drenched style known as “country-politan.” In the years that followed, he racked up hit after iconic hit, including “A Good Year for the Roses,” “The Grand Tour,” “I Always Get Lucky With You” and “If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me (Her Memory Will).” One 1980s smash in particular, “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” became widely regarded as the greatest country single of all time.

He has received the four highest honors that can be granted to anyone in his line of work, starting with his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1992. A decade later, the president bestowed the National Medal of Arts upon him, and he was saluted by the Kennedy Center Honors in 2008. In early 2012, Jones was presented another top honor as he received the Grammy’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Approximately 56 years after being named the Most Promising New Country Vocalist of 1956, Jones still lives out that promise with a regular touring routine. Audiences flock to hear the voice that is country’s most indescribable as well as, by acclamation, its finest.

Known throughout the California coast for their infectious grooves and uptempo concerts, Badfish have developed a reputation for being one of the finest ska reggae bands on the West Coast.  Formed in 2001, Badfish has become one of the biggest club and theater acts, consistently selling out many shows at some of the most prominent venues throughout the country, turning several hundred fans away from the doors each night. Badfish rivals the biggest tributes in the music business.  Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing with the spirit of Sublime.  They perform not as Sublime would have, or did, but as Badfish does.  The attitude of Sublime cannot be faked, so Badfish doesn’t try – its own tribute is one that works. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish, A Tribute to Sublime has continued to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fury not felt for quite some time.  What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts.  They are brought back to Revolution by popular demand!  Don’t miss this show!
 
Twenty years into its pioneering journey, Gainesville, Fla., natives Less Than Jake – comprised of lyricist/drummer Vinnie Fiorello, vocalist/guitarist Chris DeMakes, vocalist/bassist Roger Manganelli, saxophonist Peter “JR” Wasilewski, and trombonist Buddy Schaub – have had their fair share of moments. For a band obsessed with interacting with its fans, both online and after shows; for a band that is so concerned with making sure the fan gets the perfect experience, with well-known hijinks in every live performance; for a band with seemingly unlimited creativity in the form of physical products, from custom-made cereal boxes to unique vinyl packaging; and for a band that is so passionate when writing new music, 20 years begins to seem like an even longer amount of time.   Ever-adapting to the constant change in an unsure music industry, LessThan Jake is still making cannonball-sized splashes in the deep end while many of its peers timidly eye shallow waters.

Tenacious D at Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre 3/10/13

Tenacious D at Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre
Tuesday, March 12th, 2013 at 8:30PM.
1700 Washington Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139
www.fillmoremb.com .

The Guitar energy and excitement of Tenacioous D, comes to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre. Tickets are on sale Friday, December 14th / 10AM. This is part of the Cruzan Concert Series.

Rightfully hailed as "the greatest band on Earth," the super-sized acoustic metal/comedy duo Tenacious D was an unlikely success story. Actually, Tenacious D was probably so successful precisely because they were so unlikely: few people would imagine that two chunky guys bashing on acoustic guitars, singing songs like a tribute to the greatest song in the world (because they forgot how the greatest song in the world went after conquering the Devil with it) became one of the biggest cult bands of the late ’90s and 2000s. But the sheer charisma, humor, and energy — not to mention inspired songwriting — of singers/guitarists/actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass (aka JB, Jables, KG, and Kage, among other aliases) took them from L.A.’s underground comedy scene to their own series on HBO and a major-label album deal. The D’s act showcased Black’s theatrical, versatile vocals and Gass’ deft support on the guitar in seemingly stream-of-consciousness songs about smoking pot, the duo’s musical and sexual prowess, and subjects straight out of Dungeons & Dragons, as well as in equally absurd and inventive sketches.

General Admission tickets are $47.50 and go on sale Friday, December 14TH / 10AM at LiveNation.com or charge by phone 800-745-3000 and at the Fillmore Box Office during normal business hours (Mon. – Fri., 11AM – 6PM and during show days). Limited Special Reserved tickets are $65.50

All dates, acts and ticket prices are subject to change without notice. All tickets are subject to applicable taxes, parking and service and handling charges.

“Hey! Uh-huh!” The Romantics, best known for the unforgettable, high energy track that still bridges generations, “What I Like About You,” will perform free at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Nectar Lounge. The group was inspired by the British punk invasion and nearly 30 years later are still known for creating some of the most influential and beloved rock and roll of all time.

The group’s original members consisted of lead singer and guitarist Wally Palmer, lead guitarist Mike Skill, bass guitarist Rich Cole and drummer and singer Jimmy Marinos. In 1979, The Romantics released their debut LP, anchored by “What I Like About You,” “When I Look In Your Eyes” and a cover of Ray Davies’ “She’s Got Everything.” The band continued to see success during the ‘80s with In Heat, a platinum album bearing two top ten singles, “Talking In Your Sleep” and “One In A Million.” In addition to being a staple on classic and contemporary rock radio, television commercials and movies, The Romantics continue touring and writing songs today.

The Machine, America’s top Pink Floyd show, will bring its stellar performance and intergalactic laser lights to The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Friday, January 18 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert are on sale now.

The Machine has forged a 20 year reputation of excellence, extending the legacy of Pink Floyd, while creating another legacy all their own. The talented musicians that make up The Machine include founding members Joe Pascarell (guitar, vocals) and Tahrah Cohen (drums), as well as longtime stage mates Ryan Ball (bass, vocals) and Scott Chasolen (keys, vocals).

The New York based band focuses on making every show an authentic Floydian experience for their fans. Known for performing a diverse mix of The Floyd’s extensive 16-album repertoire, complete with faithful renditions of popular hits as well as obscure gems, The Machine’s stellar musicianship, dramatic lighting and video, and their passionate delivery sets them above and beyond the rest.

In the classic tradition, The Machine explores collective improvisation paralleling and even rivaling that of an early 1970s Pink Floyd mentality. Their use of expanded theatrical elements and elaborate stage displays continues in the spirit of the later Floyd lineups of the 1980s. The band is also known for recreating entire albums as a part of their show, accepting requests from fans, and for taking an A to Z approach in which one song is played for every letter of the alphabet. Additionally, the quartet has been sharing the stage with full symphony orchestras, including the Atlanta, Detroit, Pittsburgh and San Diego Symphonies.

Over the years, The Machine has touched the hearts and souls of many, selling out theaters, large clubs and casinos across North and Central America, Europe and Asia. They have also appeared at renowned music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Riverbend, Gathering of the Vibes, Buffalo’s Artpark and Germany’s Rock of Ages.

Tickets start at $15* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

Gente De Zona Performs Live at Mansion Miami Beach 12/7/12

Posted on    by

Cuba’s hottest reggaeton sensation Gente De Zona
Friday, December 7th. Red Carpet arrivals begin at 1130pm
Mansion
1235 Washington Avenue (between 12th and 13th)
Miami Beach, FL

Gente de Zona (slang term for “people from the neighbourhood”) is a Cuban reggaeton (cubatón) group founded by Alejandro Delgado in 2000. The group combines this rhythm with more traditional forms of cuban music in order to atract the youngsters.

Delgado, 27, grew up in Alamar, the Havana neighborhood most closely associated with Cuban hip-hop and home to the annual Alamar Rap Festival. “In the beginning I was going to all the rap shows and I started sampling, but I wanted to do it in a different way,” Delgado recalls. “When reggaeton arrived, it gave me the opportunity to put our street lyrics into a more commercial format, and to give dance music some currency, some meaning.”

According to the group’s official biography, Gente de Zona started back in 2000, when Delgado was trying to bring various Alamar rappers together to make music. “In the beginning we were just guys from our neighborhood, and I didn’t have a name so we came up with ‘Gente de Zona’ (neighborhood people).” Delgado eventually met Michel “el Caro” and the two of them started playing parties and official venues in Havana neighborhoods where hip hop was big – Guanabacoa and Regla, but especially on their home turf, Alamar.

In 2005 Michel’s departure allowed Gente de Zona to evolve into the band they are today: Alexander was joined by Yosdany (“Jacob Forever’) and Fernando Otero (“Nando Pro”). 2005 was also the year Gente de Zona recorded its first and only album so far, and scored a hit single with “Pa’ la Gente de Mi Zona”. For a long time it was impossible to watch the Cubavision TV channel without seeing Gente de Zona playing either Soñé or La Campana, two other hits.

So, to make it clear, Gente de Zona was not a business decision sparked by the worldwide popularity of reggaeton, which first took off in Panama and Puerto Rico in the 1990s. Gente de Zona are, however, among those responsible for making reggaeton more interesting – and more Cuban. Says Delgado:

“I’m from Alamar, Nando is from Santa Fe, and we were part of Cuban hip hop from the beginning. We dressed like the other rappers but we didn’t sound like them. Our lyrics were more commercial. Almost all of our songs come from the street, from our personal experience, but we didn’t want our music to be for just one area. We wanted to translate our thoughts and what we were doing musically for a wider audience, for all Cubans.”

Another point of clarification: success didn’t come easily or quickly for Gente de Zona.

“A hit’s not gonna happen without a lot of work,” Delgado says. “When we actually had our first hit, I was surprised. I mean, we had a hard time in the beginning. We were working hard. We were really close to giving up. We wanted to be popular right away and it wasn’t happening. So when it finally happened and we became popular, we were surprised. I’m willing to say we got lucky, but I don’t think you can get lucky if you aren’t ready for it.”

In 2011 the famous group Gente De Zona Launched their own parfum “GDZ Parfum” made in Italy

Rick Springfield, best known for the ‘80s smash “Jessie’s Girl” and a total of 17 top-40 hits, will perform his high energy show at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek on Friday, January 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are on sale now, with general admission standing-room only.

A singer turned soap opera star turned singer, Springfield was born in Australia and moved a great deal with his military family throughout Australia and the United States. In 1968, he joined the band Zoot, which became one of the most popular groups in Australia. He later went solo in 1971 and garnered his first U.S. success the following year with a recording of “Speak to the Sky.” The song reached number 14 in the U.S.

In between album recordings, Springfield began acting on General Hospital. His popularity skyrocketed, setting the stage for the release of Working Class Dog in 1981. Powered by the classic single “Jessie’s Girl,” which eventually hit the top of the charts, and the Top Ten follow-up “I’ve Done Everything for You,” Working Class Dog was a smash success. Springfield was awarded a Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocal for “Jessie’s Girl.” Springfield eventually returned to his first love of music when concerts conflicted with his television career.

The follow-up album, Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me Yet, was released in 1982, spawning the Top Ten smash “Don’t Talk to Strangers.” In 1983, he released Living in Oz, which also went platinum with the Top Ten “Affair of the Heart” and “Human Touch.”

Springfield made the leap to the big screen in 1984 with Hard to Hold, and the soundtrack spawned his Top Ten hit “Love Somebody.” He has continued to record albums from the ‘80s through the present. His latest album, released in 2012, is titled Songs for the End of the World. With more than 25 million albums sold and 17 top 40 hits, Springfield continues to perform for fans worldwide.

Tickets start at $35* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

Friends, it gives us great pleasure to present to you our next musical Offering….Bondax

Originally from Lancaster, UK – this teenage duo build beats that lurk somewhere between hazy ambient dreamscapes, bouncy house and garage. Their Soundcloud is a sign of things to come with songs ‘Baby I Got That’ and ‘Just Us’ receiving multiple reloads from their thousands of followers. As well as an ever increasing tour schedule. Not to mention their record label Just Us supported by the likes of Annie Mac and Star Slinger…Here’s what they have to say about their hype: “Right now we are just concentrating in the studio to try and make the most interesting music we can. We’re excited about traveling the world and making an album next year. Our longer term goals aren’t really on our mind right now as things seem to be moving really fast and I think we just need to enjoy the journey”

We, not being as eloquent, will let their music speak for itself and any DJ or music lover worth their salt can attest..

As if they weren’t enough, we’ve enlisted Body High label boss Samo Sound Boy himself to set the mood for these two youngsters for what promises to be a night of highly contemporary art and music.

Advance tickets on sale this week.

Matching Set: Last year Pocket of Lollipops duo Maite and Tony brought you the mind-expanding Cashmere Kitty. This year, they are joining forces with Verge Art Fair for their opening night Art Party to produce Matching Set, an unruffled line up of musical acts Datamouth, Cog Nomen, Pocket of Lollipops and DJ Jiriki.

Posh Punk Duo Maitejosune Urrechaga & Tony Kapel from Pocket of Lollipops bring to you another combination of their artshmaltz. These two have been know for their installations and music performances together. Individually Maite is a visual artist and Tony is a writer. When these two forces combine they marry iconic tones. Past events have included: “Cashmere Kitties,” “Snowcone in the Stairs,” “It’s Okay to Cross now,” and “The Halls Ways.” These events have ranged from Live Paper Ball Fights, feeding the audience lollipops, and creating and coloring masks to chase snails. For this special performance, Maite describes her goal as helping the audience to “imagine drizzles steel pressing themselves into your being.”

Datamouth is the moniker of Chris Salazar, an artist and musician originally from Santiago, Chile who currently lives in Miami, FL. Salazar’s musical background is diverse: guitarist in the influential South Florida punk band Milkshed in the 1990’s and early 2000’s; guitarist in the instrumental rock band Vidavox (described as an amalgam of jazz, progressive rock, jam band, & math rock) in the early-mid 2000’s; and performer/collaborator in various other musical projects. Additionally, video game soundtracks and Freestyle music were among the earliest electronic influences on Salazar. His approach to electronic music is atypical in that his tracks often evolve from melodies written on guitar. Although Salazar is a senior art director professionally, outside of work, he continues to work in art by constantly drawing, designing, photographing + film-making, and creating music.

Cog Nomen is made up of Guitarist, Buffalo Brown and drummer, Brave Ulysses, both of whom have been staples in the Miami live music scene for a better part of the last decade. Cog Nomen’s music is part electro-pop with an good dose of psychedelic ambient rock-scapes (Imagine Pink Floyd jamming with Daft Punk at Brian Eno’s house). Each of their songs constructs a familiar place with spry rhythms, lush textures and engaging hooks without the safety net of plug-ins or pre-recorded sequences favored by laptop musicians. Their debut album Even The Odd was recorded live during the summer of 2011 while facing each other in the recording studio. Recently they have been at it again with their unique twist of psychedelic and pop music- releasing their second album titled “The End Of Knowing (As We Know It)” in CD and MP3 format on August 1st. The Cog Nomen sound is so raw yet refined that its instantly familiar while exuberantly fresh and unpredictab

JIRIKI JiRiKi is an Atlanta based artist who grew up playing in different psychadelic jam bands, then enrolled into the electronic music production program at SAE institute in Miami which paved the way to her first EDM project as JiRiKi, which started in July of 2011. Sets and production include a fusion of Dubstep, Drumstep, Drum and Bass, Electro, Trip Hop, and Glitch.

Daniel Johnston in Miami During Art Basel Week at Grand Central 12/7/12

Daniel Johnston in Miami During Art Basel Week

Miami, FL, 33136

Regular Tickets 

During this year Miami Art fairs Week, with, drawings at Wynwood walls and a concert + solo Art show @ Grand Central, long-time cult icon Daniel Johnston will entered the become a part of the Miami art movement. For anyone who had the slightest familiarity with his life and his work, the first question this Miami début will provoke is not ‘What does this say about the art world?’ but ‘What does this mean for Daniel?’ Because of the many complicated feelings Johnston tends to inspire, concern is usually high on the list.

Johnston is severely mentally ill. Diagnosed as bipolar, frequently delusional, occasionally violent (he attacked his former manager with a lead pipe and once brought down his father’s small plane, shutting off the engine mid-flight and throwing the keys out the window), he’s spent his adult life in and out of institutions. He has managed to sustain himself through the care of friends and family, and through an absolute belief in his artistic calling. These days, physically wrecked by years of medication, tons of acid dropped in the 1980s and a lifelong diet of hamburgers, Coke and cigarettes, he’s a hulking middle-aged child–man living in small-town Texas in the care of his elderly, fundamentalist Christian parents.

But all of this is old news to anyone who’s followed his career as a remarkably successful musical outsider (or to anyone who’s seen The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Jeff Feuerzeig’s 2005 documentary on his life). Johnston has been on hipster radar since the 1980s, when his DIY cassettes began making their way into the world. Singing in a shaky, plaintive warble, accompanying himself on rudimentary chord organ and guitar, he’s recorded scores of naive and witty songs about superheroes, about the battle between good and evil, about lost love, loneliness and madness – all weird and funny and intimate and tremendously catchy. And he has always drawn and painted as well, chronicling in twisted, cartoonish fashion his various obsessions and the characters that populate his interior world: Captain America, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Satan, a stalk-eyed frog named Jeremiah and a hollow-headed doppelgänger called Joe the Boxer.

And 33 of his pieces with all of them will be here in Miami, rendered in pen, water colors and marker on notebook paper, curated by Pablo Gehr; with a preview in Wynwood walls Dec 6 and the main art show & concert at Grand Central Dec. 7 and 8th during art fair’s week; alongside the work of 10 local artists making an homage show to Johnston, who will also collaborate by adding his characters in the canvases of the locals. Local Artists include The Concert organized by local event mogul Aramís Lorié will be the place to be and the one event to make a mark in the local art scene during this year’s Art Fairs week!

Comprised of Khalis Bayyan and his brother Robert “Kool” Bell joined by Robert “Spike” Mickens, Dennis “Dee Tee” Thomas, Ricky Westfield, George Brown and Charles Smith, Kool and the Gang created a unique musical blend of jazz, soul and funk. The group solidified their musical chemistry early on by supporting acts like Bill Cosby, Ritchie Havens and Richard Pryor.

Their self-titled 1969 debut album introduced their signature instrumental sound and fierce horn arrangements, spawning their first Billboard R&B charted single, “Kool and the Gang,” and later “Let the Music Take Your Mind.” Their audacious sophomore set Live at the Sex Machine peaked at number six on Billboard’s R&B chart and yielded three hit singles, “Funky Man,” “Who’s Gonna Take the Weight” and “I Want to Take You Higher.”

The band’s stellar reputation grew with each album, and 1973’s gold disc Wild & Peaceful took Kool and the Gang to another level, spurring the immortal party anthems “Funky Stuff,” “Hollywood Swinging” and the platinum smash “Jungle Boogie.” Kool and the Gang saw continued success with the smashes “Open Sesame,” “Get Down On It,” “Take My Heart,” “Let’s Go Dancing,” “Cherish,” and “Fresh,” all helping to solidify the groups’ international stardom.

Admissions: Free

Tonight we are presenting three musicians from Miami and New York performing on guitars, bass and electronics. Federico Bonacossa’s curiosity about the current guitar lead him to create a national call for works. Out of 100 submissions, Bonacossa selected 4 finalists. Kyong Mee Choi’s It only needs to be seen (one of the selected pieces that is presented tonight) was inspired by the Steve Hagen’s saying, “Truth does not need any explanation. It only needs to be seen. The only way we can be free in each moment is to become what the moment is.” Choi wants the  audience to experience being in the moment through the stream of sound that does not need any explanation but only needs to be heard. Bonacossa’s Sequitur VIII will feature a canonic layering of real-time audio processing in MAX/MSP. The Miami-based up-and-coming bassist and composer Kyle Motle will join Bonacossa in Tragos for double bass and live electronics that explores scratch tones and open strings. Bryan Jacobs’s Trigger will investigate the idea of presets in music. In fact, there are as many triggered presets as there are notes in this work! Compact Scecenes will feature Jacobs on guitar while operating fixed and live electronics. “This piece has a little to do with Milli Vanilli mouthing the words and a little to do with extending the acoustic tradition.”BJ

Coconut Creek, Florida 33073

Three Dog Night, one of the most successful American bands of the ‘60s and ‘70s, will bring “joy to the world” on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 8 p.m. at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek.

Founding members and vocalists Cory Wells and Danny Hutton, original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitarist Michael Allsup, as well as bassist Paul Kingery and drummer Pat Bautz will perform their beloved hits, plus some amazing new songs, sure to be enjoyed by South Florida Fans of all ages.

With their distinctive and sometimes extraordinary harmonic blend, the group became a sensation and their hits appeared on best-selling charts in multiple genres, including pop, rock and country. Boasting chart and sales records that are virtually unmatched in popular music, Three Dog Night had an impressive 21 consecutive Billboard Top 40 hits, including three number one singles, “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” which was also a Top 10 hit in the United Kingdom, “Joy to the World,” and “Black and White.” Coincidentally, each one featured a different lead singer.

Three Dog Nights’ version of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s ‘’It’s For You’’ typified the band at their best, but it was their original arrangements of the work of lesser-known writers that brought welcome exposure and considerable royalties to fresh talent. The group recorded the music of the best new songwriters of their time, including Harry Nilsson (“One”), Randy Newman (“Mama Told Me (Not to Come)”), Elton John (“Lady Samantha” and “Your Song”), Laura Nyro (“Eli’s Coming”), Paul Williams (“An Old Fashioned Love Song”) and Hoyt Axton (“Joy to the World”) among many others. The band was noted for its creative arrangements and interpretations, and their cover choices gave exposure to several of these talented songwriters.

As they mark more than 40 years of extraordinary music and touring on the road, Three Dog Nights’ records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and more.

Tickets start at $40* and are available at www.ticketmaster.com. *Additional fees may apply

Grace Potter is the lead singer of powerhouse rock quintet Grace Potter & the Nocturnals. Potter has been on a steady rise since her band formed in 2002 while students as St. Lawrence University in upstate New York. Long praised as one of the best live acts in music today, Potter made headlines in late 2010 after being a featured performer alongside Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Sugarland on VH1’s "Divas Salute The Troops." Continuing on the upward trajectory, Potter stepped out of her comfort zone in a big way in 2011 when she was asked to duet with country superstar Kenny Chesney on “You and Tequila.” That duet went platinum and garnered the Vermont rocker numerous award nominations including: two CMA nominations, a Grammy nomination, three ACM nominations and two CMT nominations

The multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, who recently had the honor of being chosen for VH1’s coveted Storytellers series, also writes music for TV and film. She recently cowrote with the Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne the music for the Tim Burton movie Frankenweenie. Grace also contributed an original song to Disney’s animated hit Tangled. She has been called, “…one of the rock world’s reigning elite female vocalists…” Her fourth studio album, The Lion The Beast The Beat, was released in June debuting at #17 in the country on Billboard’s Top 200 chart and #10 on Billboard’s Digital chart.

Orchestra Miami is pleased to continue its series of Free Family Concerts designed to introduce young children to classical music. Tough Turkey in the Big City: A Thanksgiving Odyssey, by Bruce Adolphe and Louise Gikow, will be a treat for the whole family! Perfect for the attention spans of our young audience, this fun and engaging program will last approximately 45 minutes.

What happens when a turkey from the sticks meets a Park Avenue pigeon? With the feel of an old-time radio story, Tough Turkey in the Big City follows the comic blunders of Tom Turkey, who leaves the farm to try his luck in the big city. The story, related to the audience by a narrator, illustrates a close call with a menacing chef, a tussle at the “Turkey Club”, a brief romance with a pigeon, and a happy mix up at the Thanksgiving Day Parade. It’s a big-hearted story of a plucky bird on an unexpected journey. Tom is portrayed by the bass trombone and his barnyard friends by the violin and clarinet. The music of the farm is a swinging barnyard counterpoint, while the music of the city recalls the smoky jazz of film noire. There’s also some fun march music at the parade, and hot Latin rhythms at the Turkey Club.

• Friday, November 16- 7:00 PM at the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church, 602 NE 96 Street, Miami Shores, FL 33138
• Saturday, November 17- 1:30 PM at the North Dade Regional Library, 2455 NW 183 Street, Miami, FL 33056

Performances are sponsored in part by the Miami-Dade Public Library System. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, children are asked to bring canned goods, to be donated to local food banks.

Celebrating its Sixth Anniversary, Orchestra Miami’s mission is to bring world-class quality symphonic music to all South Floridians. For more information, please go to our website at www.OrchestraMiami.org or call (305) 274-2103.

The  South Florida Jazz Orchestra is a modern Big Band comprising some of the best jazz musicians, studio musicians, and Jazz educators in the southeastern part of the United States. Their eclectic repertoire includes many original compositions by band members, as well as classic charts from such greats as Thad Jones, Charles Mingus, John Clayton, Maria Schneider, Jim McNeely, John Fedchock, and many more, all influenced by their diverse backgrounds and experiences in the South Florida music community. In June of 2006 renowned bassist and composer, Chuck Bergeron gathered a select group of top-notch Miami-based musicians and formed the first professional jazz rehearsal big band in the Greater Miami/South Florida area. On the evening of October 4th this sixteen-piece big band took the stage at the Arturo Sandoval Jazz Club, making their first professional debut as the new South Florida Jazz Orchestra. In a town known more for its salsa music than jazz, this performance marked a bold attempt to fill a long existing void in the local jazz scene. The establishment of a professional orchestra playing traditional big band music in this community is in many ways an historic musical event. 

Lisanne Lyons teaches Studio Music and Jazz at the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. She has produced two solo CD’s and two CD’s as lead soprano in the DC-based Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet, with whom she performed at major jazz festivals across the country and abroad. She also performs with “Mad Romance”, a four-voice a capella group. Lisanne is the recipient of several DownBeat awards as a jazz vocal soloist, jazz vocal choir director, and most recently as a jazz arranger. She is in demand as a performer, arranger, adjudicator and clinician. Lisanne has headlined at the Ottawa, Detroit, and Clearwater Jazz Festivals, and La Nuit du Jazz (France). She was the first to perform live the Nelson Riddle arrangements of the George Gershwin Songbook that he wrote for Ella Fitzgerald, who only recorded them. She is currently working on a new show, a tribute to the great vocalists Rosemary Clooney, Peggy Lee, Anita O’Day, Ella Fitzgerald, and others.

The Living Earth Show is excited to present the east coast premiere of Luciano Chessa’s “Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!” an hour-long theatrical post-minimalist composition based upon the oft-overlooked 94th chapter of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick.  Written for The Living Earth Show in 2012, the piece features custom-designed quartertone instruments (a vibraphone and a guitar) to present a warped hour-long etude, interspersed with theatrical staging and textural, performance-based “interruptions.”  “Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze!” explores the distorted soundscapes of Pink Floyd and The Jesus and Mary Chain, the physical and mental endurance of Michael Gordon’s “Timber,” the seemingly indeterminate theatrical events of John Cage’s “Happenings,” and the meditations on the relationships between art and sexuality found in the works Julius Eastman.

Guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andrew Meyerson are The Living Earth Show, a San Francisco-based classical duo, presenting dynamic performances of amplified, electro-acoustic contemporary chamber music.  The Living Earth Show’s upcoming season includes performances of works written for the group by such composers as Samuel Carl Adams, Timo Andres, Adrian Knight, Luciano Chessa, Dan Becker, Chris Cerrone, Nick Vasallo, Andy Akiho, Ken Ueno, Jon Russell, and Damon Waitkus. The season will also feature the United States premiere of Brian Ferneyhough’s Renvoi/Shards, composed in 2008 for quartertone vibraphone and quartertone electric guitar.

In 1966, the Beatles stopped touring. Of course, they kept making records. Really great records. They just never performed them live.

The Fab Faux picks up where the Beatles left off as live performers. The Beatles tribute–heralded as the best in the world by everyone from Rolling Stone to Paul McCartney–performs the Beatles’ latter records as faithfully to the recordings as possible. They leave the wigs at home.

The group is led by Jimmy Vivino of Conan O’Brien’s band and Will Lee of David Letterman’s. Lee is a Grammy winner and has performed with three of the Beatles. The Fab Faux is five piece–a necessity for performing the Beatles’ complex masterpieces–and brings a horn section and a string section to round it out.

It’s been a year and a half since the Fab Faux’s last visit to south Florida. In that time, their live appearances have only generated more buzz. In Los Angeles last year, Gary Oldman made a surprise appearance and introduced the band, while Bill Mayer, Bill Bob Thornton, Jeff Bridges and many more famous Beatles lovers looked on.

At their Parker Playhouse concert, the Fab Faux will perform Magical Mystery Tour in its entirety, followed by a second set of selections from other albums. The Fab Faux is the one band any Beatles fan must see. http://www.thefabfaux.com/

Makes History As The First Global Major Edm Festival To Expand To Two Weekends

Ultra Music Festival has now confirmed it will hold the 15th annual edition of its gargantuan event over two three-day weekends March 15, 16 & 17 and March 22, 23 and 24, 2013 in Miami, FL. This marks the first time ever for a major electronic dance music (EDM) festival to do so anywhere.

Having teased the world with a provocative countdown clock on its YouTube channel just days ago, Ultra Music Festival has today, October 15, shocked fans by revealing this extraordinary news right at the end of an exclusive video on UMF TV, titled “Relive The Ultra 2012 Experience.”

Shrouded in secrecy for months, the team behind Ultra Music Festival–which last year drew over 165,000 fans—is excited to unveil this news. Russell Faibisch, Co-Founder, President and CEO of the 15-year-old event says, "After an extremely successful 2012 edition of ULTRA in Miami, and the continuous overwhelming demand by disappointed fans that were unable to attend because of the early sell-out, we’ve decided to do what ULTRA has always consistently done throughout the years–pioneer and push the EDM movement forward. So we are adding a second weekend of ULTRA. This is a unique concept from anything ever done before in our space, as it will be two weekends…two unique experiences. There are A LOT of incredible plans and surprises lined up for everyone attending our 15th Year Anniversary!"

Adam Russakoff, Executive Producer, Talent Buyer and Director of Business Affairs, adds, "Being the first-ever EDM leaning festival to go two weekends just supports our position as being the preeminent forward-thinking brand in electronica. Although we are already known as having the best and most relevant talent at our events, two weekends allows us to present even more and create two separate and distinct highly unique experiences for our attendees, let alone the impact this will have on the economy in terms of jobs and other ancillary industries like hotels and transportation."

Following a recent study commissioned by Ultra Music Festival and carried out by the Washington Economics Group, which revealed the extent to which the festival boosts the city’s yearly economy, news of the double header weekend won’t solely be music to the ears of electronica fans. In fact, in 2012 alone, the three-day event injected upward of $40 million directly into the Miami-Dale economy ($79 million if factoring in indirect and induced spending). With over 60% of visitors hailing from outside Miami-Dade, the local fiscal benefits that this news brings will be unprecedented.

Tickets for both weekends go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, October 17, exclusively from www.ULTRAmusicfestival.com.

Compositions that paint an afro-cuban face with a transplanted american smile that only finds home in a jaded heart. 1,000 Fuegos presents ancestral sounds entombed by the filter of today’s modern pop perspective.

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc. Benefit Concert
Saturday, November 10, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. SHARP
josephs 2First Presbyterian Church
1530 Hollywood Blvd
Hollywood, FL 33020

Concert tickets are $10 and are available online.

786-288-6159/786-258-5289

Featuring the blind Haitian violinist, Romel Joseph, and his children, violinist and violist, Victoria Joseph, and pianist Bradley Joseph, this program showcases works by Chopin, Saint-Saens, Vitali, Moszkowski, Shostakovich, and selected Romel Joseph’s arrangements of traditional Haitian music.

All proceeds from this concert will go towards Friends of Music Education for Haiti’s initiatives to build Haiti’s first professional music conservatory and performing arts center for children. Romel Joseph, the Juilliard-trained Haitian violinist who survived the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, is the Executive Director of Friends of Music Education for Haiti. His remarkable ordeal captivated audiences around the world through numerous media reports in the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, London Times, CBS Evening News with Katie Couric, BBC, and CNN. Legendary musician, Stevie Wonder, honored Mr. Joseph by presenting him with his personal keyboard during a live interview on CNN.

Romel Joseph began his musical studies at the age of 13. In 1985, he was awarded a Fulbright grant to attend the Juilliard School where he received his master’s degree in violin performance. Upon his graduation, he returned to Haiti where he and his former wife later founded what was then “The Victorian School” in 1991. In 1996, he relocated to Miami, Florida, where he founded Walenstein Musical Organization. Travelling frequently between Miami and Haiti, Mr. Joseph remained actively involved in the music and educational community. He later expanded Walenstein Musical Organization, creating Walenstein Symphony Orchestra. On January 12, 2000, The Victorian School was completely destroyed by fire caused by an electrical circuit. Within two years, it opened its doors with a new name — The "NEW" Victorian School. On January 12, 2012, Mr. Joseph was severely injured under The New Victorian School, which was completely destroyed by the notorious Haiti earthquake. This tragedy renewed his sense of mission, resulting in the creation of Friends of Music Education for Haiti. Mr. Joseph currently lives in both Port-au-Prince Haiti, and Miami, Florida, and is the founder of Walenstein Musical Organization, Walenstein Symphony Orchestra, and Friends of Music Education for Haiti. All three institutions are recognized as non-profit by the state of Florida and are 501(c)3 organizations.

Victoria Joseph began her violin studies at the age of three with her father, Romel Joseph. She received her Bachelor’s in Music Performance from the University of Miami and has performed with a number of local music organizations. Ms. Joseph is currently involved with Walenstein Musical Organization, Walenstein Symphony Orchestra, The New Victorian School, and Friends of Music Education for Haiti.

Bradley Joseph began his musical studies on the violin at the age of three in 1995 under the auspices of his father, Romel Joseph. At the age of five, he added the piano to his musical training. Since that time, he has worked with several instructors including Micheline Laudun Denis of the Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris and the Ecole de Haut Perfectionnement Musical. In 2007, Mr. Joseph performed as guest solo artist with Walenstein Symphony Orchestra and in 2009 with the Holy Trinity Philharmonic Orchestra in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Bradley is currently majoring in Economics and Piano Performance at Florida International University.

Friends of Music Education for Haiti, Inc., a non-for-profit organization, was created by Romel Joseph in light of the complete destruction of The New Victorian School in Port-au-Prince, Haiti during the January 12, 2010, earthquake with renewed energy and a new dream — to expand the music section of The New Victorian School into the creation of the first Haiti Performing Arts Center as his legacy to Haiti. FMEH will contribute to the development of music education and performance opportunities for the children, youth, and interested adults of Haiti. It will also help initiate musical training in all private and public schools throughout the country, explore Haiti’s rich traditional music, and manage  the construction of the new Haiti Performing Arts Center.

“Feel the Noize” as Quiet Riot Performs Free at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Nectar Lounge 10/20/12

“Feel the Noize” as Quiet Riot Performs Free at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek’s Nectar Lounge

Coconut Creek, Florida 33073
Webpage Link

Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is offering the chance to “feel the noize” and see the rock and roll phenomenon Quiet Riot at Nectar Lounge FREE on Saturday, October 20 at 9 p.m. The Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album Metal Health.

The American heavy metal band, best known for their hit singles “Metal Health” and “Cum On Feel the Noize,” was founded in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni. The original line-up featured Rhoads and Garni with lead vocalist Kevin DuBrow and drummer Drew Forsyth. Their current lineup consists of lead vocalist Scott Vokoun, drummer Frankie Banali, bassist Chuck Wright and guitarist Alex Grossi. Quiet Riot began by regularly opening for Van Halen in several local clubs, before either act had a record deal, and the co-influence can be heard between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen.

Metal Health’s title track had been released as the album’s first single and reached No. 31 on the charts. The song’s success could be attributed to its appearance in the 1984 movie Footloose, as well as its popularity as a heavily-rotated video on MTV. The album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process at that time.

In 1983, Quiet Riot’s second single “Cum On Feel the Noize” was released. A cover of the 1973 hit by Slade, the single spent two weeks at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was the first heavy metal song to make the top five on that chart. The success of the single helped carry the album Metal Health to the top of the Billboard album chart, making it the first American heavy metal debut album to ever reach No. 1 in the U.S. To date, the sales of Metal Health have exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide.

Quiet Riot returned to the studio to record 1984’s Condition Critical, which went on to sell over 2 million copies in the U.S. and included another chart-ready Slade cover in “Mama Weer All Crazee Now” and the self-penned “Party All Night.” The group has since gone on to release several successful albums and tour worldwide, and has been ranked on VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.”

The Italian music scene is blowing up, rich with hip, vibrant sounds. Its regional music hubs spark everything from dubbed out reggae to high-energy rock, from electronic shimmer to jazz cool. HIT Week, now in its 6th year, is a great way to enjoy new Italian popular music. Visit HITWeek.it for details about the festival.
 
Maria Germinario, aka Mama Marjas, was born in 1986 and grew up in Apulia. Gifted with a vibrant voice and with a unique low timbre, she started singing when she was 6 years old together with her family orchestra (International Band). Mama Marjas is one of the most important and promising artists of the modern reggae Italian scene. She is very young and extremely talented , self-confident, rooted in reggae culture but, at the same time, versatile thanks to her solid musical culture.
 
BoomDaBash sees the light back in 2002 as a classic jamaican sound system, founded and brought into the world by Blazon, current dj, sound engineer and producer of the quartet. Slowly BoomDaBash outline progressively changes the features, along a path of artistic development that guide him towards the realization of the first official work, "A" (2008 ELIANTO EDITIONS).

Miami’s Suenalo has been crowned the Miami New Times’ Best of Miami Awards: Best Latin Rock Band in 2005, and most recently Best Latin Band in 2011. Even the lengthy hyphenated description the band came up with themselves falls short of the true breadth of what they represent. If Suenalo’s one of a kind fusion is hard to pinpoint, it’s only because no one’s ever done anything quite like it before.

We’re very excited to welcome Brooklyn’s Rubblebucket to the Funky Biscuit on Thursday, October 25th!  Achieving widespread respect as one of the most hyped bands on the circuit by mixing psychedelic indie rock, upbeat dance and radiant, left-field arrangements, this is a band that must be seen live. The eclectic seven-piece hit the festival scene hard this year including sets at Bonnaroo and Catskill Chill, and made their debut late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Catch them now at the intimate Funky Biscuit before they’re filling theaters. The Resolvers will get things started with their unique brand of ‘Big Band Reggae’.

Rubblebucket: Led by the musical couple of front woman Kalmia Traver and bandleader/trumpeter Alex Toth, Rubblebucket has spent the last four years building a reputation as a band that blurs the lines between psychedelic indie rock, upbeat dance, and radiant, left-field arrangements. The band’s 2011 album “Omega La La” marked a milestone for Rubblebucket. Recorded at Plantain/DFA Studios with Producer Eric Broucek (LCD Soundsystem, Cut Copy)) the band dipped into everything from dancey indie-pop arrangements to Fela-Kuti inspired afro-beat stomps. The record has earned a wealth of praise, with Paste Magazine calling it “instrumentally rich but catchy enough to ass-kick Katy Perry off the pop charts (in a just world)—mega-melodic without sacrificing an ounce of atmosphere or creativity. Rubblebucket has graced the stage at Bonnaroo, All Good, High Sierra, moe.down, Catskill Chill, and many other festivals. In June 2012 they made their debut late night TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and they celebrated the release of a new EP “Oversaturated” in September. Video from Jimmy Kimmel Live: http://bit.ly/SAi80h | www.Rubblebucket.com

The Resolvers: Hailing from South Florida, The Resolvers play ‘Big Band Reggae.’ As the name implies, the new sound draws influences from classic Jamaican Reggae, Rocksteady and Ska along with American Rock, Jazz, Funk and Soul. Their live show has been described as explosive with up to ten musicians on stage including five singers and the “Dirty Hamsa Horn Stars”, a powerful four-piece horn section. Each individual member brings their personal influences and inspirations to the collective sound. To brother & sister vocalists Ojay and Sahara Smith, reggae music is a family legacy. Their father, Ernie Smith, is the well-known Jamaican reggae singer who penned classics such as "Duppy Gunman" and “Bend Down”, among others. The Resolvers new album, Big Band Reggae (March 2012) debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Reggae Charts and completely erases any notion of what you thought reggae music was capable of. The Resolvers have shared the stage with The Wailers, Stephen Marley, Damian Marley, Inner Circle, Yellowman and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry along many other world renowned acts in major International festivals such as Marley Fest, Jamaican Jazz & Blues Fest, SunFest, AURA Music & Arts Festival, Dub Fest and more. www.TheResolvers.com

For nearly 50 years, GILBERTO GIL has invented, innovated and reprocessed music in Brazil.  From the young bossa-nova musician, to the musical groundbreaker of the Tropicalia era, to the artist who made a perfect marriage between Brazil and Jamaican reggae, to the pop star who embraced rock and electronica, Gil’s music has encompassed everything from baião and samba to MPB, reggae, afoxé, and axé. His strength lies in his compositions, voice and guitar mastery. He has been awarded several GRAMMY awards and other major honors for a career that continues to flourish. Gil’s years of activism came to a pinnacle when he was named Brazil’s Minister of Culture in 2003, where he helped moved Brazilian culture into even greater international prominence. This fall, Gil is co-curating "Voices of Latin America" series at New York’s Carnegie Hall.  He celebrates his 70th birthday this year.
 
Gilberto Gil has been an important part of the Rhythm Foundation’s history.  We have presented his captivating performances many times, including our inaugural season in 1988.

2012 Blues Music Awards Winner Tedeschi Trucks Band Headlines The Inaugural Sunshine Blues Festival

Winner of four Blues Music Awards and a Grammy Award for “Best Blues Album” the Tedeschi Trucks Band will headline the inaugural Sunshine Blues Festival in Florida, playing three dates in the state.  Featuring two stages of live bands, the Festival will make its debut at Centennial Park in Fort Myers, Friday, January 18, 2013, with music starting at 12:30PM.  Then, Saturday, January 19, 2013, with music starting at 11AM, it comes to Mizner Park Amphitheater, Boca Raton in South Florida and finally Sunday, January 20, 2013, with music starting at 10:45AM, at Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg in the Tampa Bay Area.

“The Blues is where it all began for Modern Music in America,” says Neil Jacobsen, President – Live Nation Florida.  “Putting this show together has been a labor of love and we are very excited to bring a world class Blues Festival to Florida as an annual event.”

It has been an amazing year for the Tedeschi Trucks Band or TTB as their loyal fans prefer to call them.  In February their album Revelator won the Grammy Award for “Best Blues Album.”  Then in July they dominated the Blues Music Awards (formerly the WC Handy Awards) where they won not only Album of the Year, but also took home trophies for Band of the Year, Gibson Guitar Award (Derek Trucks) and Contemporary Blues Female Artist (Susan Tedeschi).  True to Truck’s promise, the album delivered a collection of blues-dipped rockers and heart stirring ballads in which the echoes of so many great traditions flowed together naturally, blending with an entirely original, modern sensibility. Critically acclaimed as a 4 Star “masterpiece” by Rolling Stone magazine and simply “Outstanding” by USA Today, Revelator broke into the Billboard Top 200 chart at #12, bringing both artists to their highest first week sales and charting of their careers. Their second album, Everybody’s Talkin’ is a double live disc recorded on the band’s fall tour last year.

Advance General Admission tickets are $28.00 and $30.00 Day of Show.

Dubstep Superstar Flux Pavilion comes to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Sunday, October 28, 2012 / 8PM, Also appearing are Emalkay and  Loadstar with more to be announced later.   Tickets go on sale Monday, October 1st / 10AM.  This is part of the Cruzan Concert Series.
 
Known for his 2011 hit "Bass Cannon", English dubstep producer and DJ Joshua Steele took the name  Flux Pavilion around 2008 when he released the track  "Cheap Crisps" as a digital download.  Steele had grown up in Towcester where his neighbors were like-minded producers Doctor P and  Trolley Snatcha. At the time, all three had been playing in guitar-based bands together, but after downloading some music creation software, they agreed the future was digital and were set on their dubstep paths. Fast forward to 2010 and Flux Pavilion had made a name for himself with plenty of club hits, remixes, and DJ gigs, but that year’s "I Can’t Stop" took his career to another level. Two "fans" Steele met on a tour of America asked to sample the cut for their upcoming hip-hop album, and a year later "I Can’t Stop" became the basis of "Who Gon Stop Me" on  Jay-Z and Kanye West’s collaborative effort Watch the Throne. Flux Pavilion’s hit track "Bass Cannon" arrived that same year, along with a collaborative cut with Doctor P,  "Super Bad."

Emerging Miami Hip Hop Band, The Politix Preforming Live At Ricochete Lounge In Mid Town Miami 
 
After last week’s sell out performance at Bardot, The Politix continue their fall performance schedule next week at Ricochet Lounge in the heart of Miami’s Design District on  October 4th, 2012. The Politix will showcase their signature Hip Hop and Jazz fusion repertoire along with a special guest performance from up and coming Tampa artist Scott Aye. 
 
The Politix are an emerging Hip Hop band based in Miami, FL. The group consists of five young talented musicians that blend their Jazz training with Hip Hop influences to create a new infused sound. In less than 2 years The Politix have become staples on the Miami music circuit, consistently performing at popular venues such as Bardot, The Stage, and Grand Central. Many have compared the group to legendary Hip Hop groups such as De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots. The local buzz surrounding the group has been confirmed by club owners such as Brian Basti, co-owner of Grand Central Miami, who stated, “it is only a matter of time until The Politix are in the national spotlight.“

With the release of their debut EP “The Inauguration” in 2011, The Politix have spent the past year working on their first full length self-entitled album, “The Po-lit-tix.” The album is completely self recorded and produced, and is expected to be released in early May in both CD and digital formats. The first single of the album and music video, “Black and Blue,” featuring Raquel Sofia, brought tremendous viral attention to The Politix’s music. It has since been featured on several music blogs including illroots.com, 2dopeboyz.com, and iamashleyoutrageous.com. Popular Hip Hop blogger Ashley Outrageous, praised the debut music video in her review stating, “I’m loving the story line of this visual and the chorus. The whole band plus emcee combo is definitely a plus too. Definitely a group to watch out for.” The Politix intend for this album to be a defining project that will introduce the world to their sophisticated hip-hop sound.

Formed in September 2010, The Politix was the brainchild of the band’s drummer, Aaron Glueckauf and now band manager, Kris Martin. The two took aspiring Miami emcee John Payan and paired him with three other University of Miami Frost School of Music students. The group includes John Payan (emecc/vocalist), Jason Matthews (Keyboard), Patrick Howard (Bass), Nick Tannura (Guitar), and Aaron Glueckauf (Drums). From Philadelphia to Chicago, each member is from a different part of the country and this diversity is at the foundation of The Politix unique sound. After the group formed in September 2011, their first major performance was scheduled for December. This was no ordinary debut performance as they were booked to open for emerging Hip Hop sensation Wiz Khalifa at The University of Miami. With over 5,000 people in attendance, The Politix debut performance propelled them into local stardom along side other popular Miami groups such as Mayday and Artofficial.

With the release of their debut album, {po-’li-tiks}, the group foresees this project as being a groundbreaking point in their career. The Politix plan to tour with the record, going on a Florida college tour this summer and eventually a national tour in Spring 2012. The Politix take pride in being completely independent artists and intend to due whatever it takes for the world to hear their music.

MarlowFriday night Sept 28, Show starts 9:30 pm.
Breathe Restaurant & Lounge
401 West Atlantic Ave
Delray Beach, FL

With over twenty years’ experience in the music industry, Grammy-nominated pianist-composer-producer Marlow Rosado has developed a powerful portfolio working with many of the top artists in the Latin recording world. Singing with world-renowned producer Desmond Child has led him to work with major artists such as Alejandra Guzman and Ricky Martin (on Más). With eleven Grammy nominations to his credit, Rosado’s influence in the Tropical genre can be felt on records ranging from Elvis Crespo to Gran Combo.
 
His 2009 debut album, Salsalsa, featuring Andy Montañez, lived at the #1 spot on Puerto Rico’s hottest Salsa station, Zeta 93, for over eight weeks.  His second and latest CD, Retro, (2012) takes some of the strongest songs from the 1970’s, maintaining the essentials of the originals, but metamorphosing them in Marlow’s 21st-century conception until they become entirely his own. The album features guest appearances by Tito Puente, Jr., Ismael Miranda, Bobby Cruz, Papo Lucca, Kevin Ceballo, Marlon Fernandez, Luigi Texidor, Quique Dominich, Salvador Cuevas, and Tony Vega. It has received rave reviews and has made the Top Ten list nationally in its category.
