I've been in the Miami music scene for a long time now. In 2004, I came back to Miami after going to college at Florida State University in Tallahassee after a 4-month stop in Orlando. While I was living in Central Florida I had put together and wrote an Underground Literature and Art Zine called... »
We took last week off to get a little breather from the Weekend Video series, but no fear, here are 3 new ones for you to enjoy. #1: Tristan Clopet covers Plain White T's Welcome To Mystery from the Alice in Wonderland Soundtrack in his Living Room Sessions Series So maybe I'm getting an unhealthy obsession... »

Tristan Clopet & The Juice Purple EP (www.tristanclopet.com) Tristan Clopet's new EP, Purple, starts like a statement. The first sounds you hear are a heavy bass line, that boom out of speakers with a funk heavy undertone. From the first notes Purple declares it's growth from Tristan's first... »
Going with my recent "duh" moment ("Miami likes art... a lot!), is there nothing better than Wynwood District's monthly open gallery artwalks? Every second Saturyday, the galleries welcome all visitors, letting a constant stream of loafers and wine moochers... »
As the ever oppressive heat of Miami begins to fade, I've been asking myself, "is there a better time than winter to be living in this city?" Starting with Art Basel in December, continuing through to March's Winter Music... »
Floored. I really have no other way to describe it. Our 1 Year Anniversary Celebration was an amazing happening that culminated after a whole year of focus, work, and love. I heard from almost every direction, "this was the best... »

Some people say love is patient love is kind, those are the same people that subscribe to going the whole 9 yards on V-day, showering their honeys with roses, jewelry, and fine dining. Digitall's response to all that is... »
The Harvest of Hope music festival in Saint Augustine, Florida is unique from many of the other music festivals going on during the summer months. The music festival is all to benefit and raise awareness for the non profit... »
When I first started doing projects in the Miami music scene, there was one band whose album I listened to obsessively, and is still have in a lot of my playlists: Bling Bling. They had just come out with their... »
#1: 131 Projects - The Orange Arena I first saw 131 Projects video pieces during the 2008 Borscht Film Festival and instantly loved just about every art piece they've done. Often times abstract and set to a wide variety of... »
REVMiami's 1 Year Anniversary Celebration will be held Friday, February 19th, at White Room in DWNTWN Miami (1306 N Miami Ave) It's on like Donkey Kong! I can't explain how excited I am to be able to have our... »
It's good to finally go to a show that doesn't require having to drive into one of the worst neighborhoods in Miami! In the friendly, yet small, confines of Jada Coles on Coral Way, 4 bands got together and put... »
Video #1: ArtOfficial - Big City Bright Lights I'm not letting the cat out of the bag until Monday (unless you follow REVMiami on Facebook), but I have an alterior motive for pushing their video. But don't let that distract... »

Lucky You! 2 is the Bakehouse Art Complex’s (BAC) yearly raffle fundraiser and their largest event of the year. What draws people to this raffle is the chance to walk away with one of over 60 original... »
Over the many shows I organized and managed last year there was consistently one person that I could always count on as a rock of humility and understanding: Alex Diaz, also known as Xela Zaid. I know it sounds weird to... »
Because I try to save all the good REVMiami material for weekdays (so all you people out there have something to read while you're bored at work), I've been trying to figure out something interesting to post on the... »
It's no secret that I love things that are distinctly Miami. Tostada and cafe con leche, Calle Ocho, Miami Sound Machine, and Jose el Rey's moustache to name a few. But just like every good New Yorker that has... »
The good folks at Ploppy Palace Productions have joined forces with Tobacco Road again to present the 12th Annual Medical Marijuana Benefit Concert today. There are some great bands playing on three stages with music beginning at 4pm and... »
Ok, so maybe that order isn't quite correct. How fitting that this show is happening at the Adrienne Arsht Center, because this is as close as a hip-hop concert can get to art as possible. And that is my completely unqualified opinion,... »
I originally sent this out in REVMiami's Newsletter. Please sign up for it to the right. Happy New Year everyone! This is the first email newsletter being sent out by REVMiami. Thanks to everyone who signed up to our email list... »
"It's all about the 'U'!" An inescapable phrase while living in sunny Miami, Florida. I grew up here through the 80's and 90's, and trust me, I knew all about the Miami Hurricanes. My fifth grade teacher, Mr. Randall, had... »
Nestled among the designer jean stores, the highly overpriced restaurants, and Miami Beach novelty stores is one of my favorite places in the world: Art Center South Florida. I can't believe I made it a whole year of writing for REVMiami and... »
Last time I wrote about Tristan Clopet he had just released his first EP, Duende, and had competed in Miami New Times' Grove On Battle of the Bands. He had been performing as a fulltime musician for just under... »
A long-standing holiday tradition of mine is driving through the well-decorated neighborhoods to admire the lighted residences. As a child I remember the excitement of piling into my parents old Buick with my brother and driving all over town... »
Local personality Notorious Nastie never seems to be short of whacky ideas. In this video, produced by filmmaker Neranjan Venom (music by Otto von Schirach and Peasants with Feathers), Notorious dresses in Santa gear -- obligatory nakedness included, and sings his... »
I'm not sure if the let down is quite as big as with Future Classic Festival, but from all reports, it seems as if Miami Music Festival was yet another poorly organized event, and some going as far to... »
Art Basel had so much to offer this year and unfortunately I had very little time to enjoy all the excitement involved. I did get out early on Friday December 4th and found a few interesting exhibits. There was a lot... »

Art Basel is here again! Last year this was the first major event that was covered by REVMiami.com, so to us here, Art Basel will always coincide with our beginnings. Steve Imas and I met up Downtown this past Thursday and... »
Happy Saturday all. I'm sitting at home watching TV before heading out to Tobacco Road for their 97th Anniversary when I hear Rachel Goodrich playing in the background of a Crayola commercial. Rachel Goodrich and children's toys is a pretty obvious match, congrats... »

Sleepless Nights came and went last Saturday, and sadly, I missed everything! A lot of the events I planned on going to were cancelled because of a strong wind (like acrobats, etc). Then, while making my way over to see... »
