If you ask a Miami local what their favorite music venues are, chances are they'll mention Bardot . An intimate speak easy type bar, polka dotted with erotic (yet classy) modern art and movie posters showcasing its famously gorgeous namesake, Brigitte Bardot, whose chilled ambiance is emphasized by the outstanding acoustics, Bardot has become my favorite Miami music venue hands down. Besides the fact that pacifier sucking, neon American Apparel wearing ravers are nowhere to be found, the Bardot family has unequaled musical taste. Bringing in artists like The Gaslamp Killer , Capital Cities , Robert [...]
Where dance music has undergone the sort of sonic shift over the course of the past several years that engenders the sort of predictable conventionality that comes with the popularization of any genre in such a short span of time, there have been a number of acts that have retained their own sense of identity, [...]
A couple of recent shoegaze album lists from Sounds Better with Reverb and Surfing on Steam prompted me to recall those heady days of shoegaze between 1988 and 1994. My recollection wasn't about the great albums, though there were some, but about the EP's. Those of us there at the time know that it was all about the EP. Albums were slow to come and often disappointing but the EPs came quick and were often a band's pinnacle. Often a band would do a brilliant EP and then never reach the same heights on the album, or never [...]
Winter Music Conference in Miami was one of the greatest weeks for music consumption and music discovery of my life thus far. I walked away feeling the most fortunate for catching Jamie XX and the rest of the Young Turks crew, who were all the most humble and nicest of people, during two of their WMC showcases. On Friday night during the show at Bardot none other than Florence Welch was in the building, dancing gracefully through the crowd. Florence came out to [...]
(PillowTalk) Yet another incredible night at Bardot for theme party “Gato y Disco” featuring Tensnake, PillowTalk, Azari & III, and Mano Le Tough. Upon arrival I felt the spirit of the evening, with ladies clad in bunny ears, and enough sparkles to feel like I was walking into Boogie Nights… I was pretty pissed I [...]
(DJ Will Buck) With all of the amazing events happening all over Miami right now, there was no doubt in my mind that I was at one of the better ones on Sunday night. Nurvous Records brought us a great showcase of Miami’s Pirate Stereo, NYC’s Will Buck, and UK’s Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. There [...]

Last night the dimly lit living room-esque lounge in Midtown, more commonly known as Bardot, celebrated 3 years of showcasing unique musical talents from around the world. Most notably, Bardot is known for its ambiguous building that has no sign and sits quietly on the Midtown strip. Without the long line of industry playmakers, hipsters, [...]

Bear In Heaven has been on our minds since Pucho reviewed their latest album I Love You, It's Cool back in April. So much so that we sought them out to perform here in Miami for the first time. The Brooklyn-based band offers a unique brand of indie-pop music that's both haunting and uplifting. Combining electronic elements with experimental rock and shoegaze these guys have a knack for song-making recognized by an impressive list of remixers including Lindstrom, Studio, Eskmo, and CFCF. If you like what you hear, Bear In Heaven will be performing [...]

Photos by LP In the six years of being a band, Los Campesinos! had never been to Miami. But on Saturday, June 30th, the seven piece Welsh band finally graced us with their presence by cramming tightly onto Bardot’s carpet. They were loud, they were sincere, and they didn’t hold back, though a good percentage [...]
Smoke billowed freely, engulfing a heavily compacted swarm of hipsters in the effluence of medical-grade reefer, as a heavy-set, ginger bearded performer, sporting a wife beater and a head as bald and white as a cue ball, rhymed with blistering speed and dexterity on the microphone. The ambience at Bardot, aptly personified the sense of [...]
