“If you live in Dade County, you’ve seen the tags everywhere: a blocked stencil, a starred sticker, a dashed black marker or a swift spray of paint. AHOL. SNIFFS. GLUE. But signing his nom de guerre to the city he loves is only a part of what this Miami born and bred visualist does in the wild world. The rest, as they say, is suitable for framing.

But there’s no frame in all of art land that can contain the vivid multitudes of the man known as Ahol Sniffs Glue. Hell, not even whole walls can contain what’s inside this cat.

A forlorn troll atop a maze of spilled guts; A Twombly-like scribble overriding a subway of spray; a truck-sized tropical fish made up for a night on the streets; a bare chestful of iridescent signage that begins with a starfish and ends in a molten moment. These are just some of the many and varied images rendered for your pleasure. Some of them can be found on the street; others belong in a museum; others still trace the contours of the bodies upon which they’ve been inked, and there they remain – forever.

Each though bares the mark of a single man – and a singular mind. “I am here,” they say. “The rest is on you.”

At Butter Gallery this March 11, Ahol Sniffs Glue will unveil his first solo exhibition. It’s called “7.625 Fl Oz.” There’s no telling what will be hung there; and he would tell you if there was. But one thing is certain: you will be walled with the chemical compounds found in the work of – and the man named – Ahol Sniffs Glue.”

Back Door Bamby and The Vagabond welcomes Miguel Migs
facebook

Some DJs can’t shake the notion that going deep entails leaving those dance floor killers with the bumpy percussion and funky basslines in their record bag at home. MIGUEL MIGS, however, isn’t keen to make that compromise. That’s one of the reasons he founded Salted Music: to have a vehicle for, as he puts it, “soul based electronic music that is not limited in tempo.”

Check out the fruits of Migs’ labor with this free streaming mix of “Get Salted Vol. 2” Migs’ latest mix album

Limited Advanced Tickets Available at http://www.wantickets.com/vagabond

With a warm-up set by Ivan Diaz

—

In the bar room, Ryan Evans and Ray Milian will be spinning their eclectic array of House, Funk, Disco, and everything in between. As the night rambles on, Carmel Ophir takes over the decks to serve up his special stew of Rock, Mod, Garage, Psychedelic, and Soul.

In the garden, jump on board the steel wheels with DJ A-Train, giving you Rare Grooves, R & B, Funk, and Hip-Hop.

TUESDAY::: February 2nd, 2010
“Let me describe my first encounter with Z-Stone, since a short description won’t do him justice: at first glance Z-Stone, a Stone Groove fixture, is unassuming. He was quietly perched on one of the couches, awash in the glow of The Vagabond bar room’s dim red lights, waiting patiently for his turn on the microphone. Clad in a trench coat, fedora, and ammo belt full of harmonicas, he caught my eye, but the musician I had heard so much about struck me as soft-spoken.

As soon as he stepped up to the microphone, he transformed. His dapper demeanor instantly vanished as the 3rd Party band launched into a rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused.” I’d heard the song covered before, but this time I was listening to something else entirely. Z-Stone’s wailing harmonica melodies and forceful vocals molded this 60s rock staple into something else entirely: a tune wafting through the air at a 1930s juke joint; an electric blues balled ringing through a downtown Chicago blues club circa 1965. It was more than a unique take on a classic; it evoked the music that inspired the song in the first place.

This time around, Z will be the featured act of the night, and he’ll put on a performance that won’t be forgotten.”

Music by the 3rd Party Band and DJs C-Stone & Wasabi

THURSDAY::: February 4th, 2010
(((SHAKE))) is bringing back the New Orleans Bounce sound you got a taste of when Big Freedia played our (((SHAKE BASSel))) show. This time we have a special guest J DAIQUIRI in town from New Orleans to drop a set of Bounce and other dirty south hip hop styles. He’s also a wicked designer, as you can see here: http://DefendNewOrleans.com

Also in the backyard, by the FIRE BUSH (if you didn’t notice last week, there really is a magical sculptural master piece of a water fire bush in the back) … There will be a live painting by DAM crews finest DAMCREWULT… should be a nice visual treat for everyone.

DOORMOUSE, DS, MANUVERS + THE WHISPER keep the vibes going with the best Hip hop, Miami Bass, Reggae, Rock + Soul all night.
NO COVER for ladies til Midnight!
Doors at 10pm
$1 COLT 45 TALLBOYS TIL 11
$5 CUBA LIBRE ALL NIGHT!

FRIDAY::: February 5, 2010
This Friday we’ve got electronic act Million Young performing.  You know those long nights that you end up watching the sunrise at 6AM, talking about god knows what, while joggers shoot you quizzical glances as to why you’re still in last nights’ clothes?  That’s what Million young sounds like.  Smooth and billowy electronic music, but still lots of fun.

We also have Laura of Miami from WVUM doing a guest DJ spot in the main room.  She is the programming and music director of University of Miami’s Radio station WVUM (that’s 90.5 on the dial). I’m sure she’s got more music than she knows what to do with so it should be a great set.

SATURDAY::: February 6th, 2010
The Dirty Girl will bear witness to dance floor destruction via Nu-Disco pioneers Hercules & Love Affair (DFA Records).

You’ll recognize their 2008 track “Blind”,” voted “Best Track of 2008″ by Pitchfork media. It also enjoyed a remix by house music’s godfather Frankie Knuckles: http://bit.ly/9ts20v

They haven’t slowed down, recently spawning a damn fine 808-infused remix of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
With a warm-up set by Brad Strickland.

Now, imagine that the garment you are now in proud possession of is tangible proof of a donation you’ve just made. That daring little Pucci blouse or Free People tank just bought a battered woman or child a meal at the Lotus house. Voila! Ladies, welcome to guilt-free and philanthropic shopping.

The Lotus Thrift, located on 203 N.W. 36th Street, is a boutique thrift store where ALL of the proceeds go to fund The Lotus House shelter. Aside from being a wonderfully relevant cause, the merchandise itself is absolutely worthy of browsing. High-end designers are found next to vintage no-names, brand new garments with tags still attached to well-worn jeans can be found all over the store. The staff working the boutique are down-to-earth people and helpful employees who either volunteer or come from the shelter to work.

The Lotus House is a shelter located in Overtown, Miami, ran by the Sundari Foundation, Inc. The shelter is not just transitional housing for women and children but a prototypical safe haven where they are offered classes, workshops and counseling to provide them with tools necessary to integrate into society as productive and self-sufficient members of society. Some of the comprehensive support services include individual and group counseling, computer lessons, job training and placement, medical and mental health services and access to an array of community resources. There are also education workshops and a plethora of enrichment activities which include art, creative writing, yoga, dance, crafts alternative paths to healing and self-exploration. The shelter also caters to pregnant women and infants; they are provided with pre-natal care, birthing and parenting classes, baby supplies, infant medical care and daycare assistance to name a few.

It is rehabilitation for the mind, body and spirit of up to 130 women and children annually. A break from traditional shelters in which just offer basic necessities to victims of domestic abuse, drug abuse, homelessness , financial woes or mental illness, The Lotus House is a departure from the traditional to ensure a lower probability of return to a shelter for these victims by instilling them with a new sense of worth and self-purpose. Their belief is that with renewed self-esteem and armed with empowerment through knowledge of new skill sets, women are much less likely to fall into their previous self-damaging cycles.

Now you may simultaneously provide two women with having needs met; YOUR basic need for affordable, unique style and another woman’s basic need to heal in a holistic environment . . . as the store’s motto offers: “Love to Shop and Shop to Love”.

For more information on the The Sundari Foundation, The Lotus House and The Lotus Thrift store or to make donations, please visit their website at www.lotushouseshelter.org

The Vagabond is playing host to a post-Phish celebration hosted by EQ Producktions and DEF OWL featuring Orchard Lounge, a space disco, funky electro-collective that will keep the party going until you just can’t dance no mo’.  This Chicago-based collective was assembled a little less than a decade ago by some seriously talented musicians who now focus on being serious DJs.  Spencer Lokken:  a classically-trained violinist.  Ben Silver:  long-time guitar aficionado, writer, producer.  Bethany Lokken:  former rocker of the clarinet.  Visuals will be provided by VJ Psyberpixie and any residual psilocybin.

Now, with forces joined, they aim to bring together artists that they admire while keeping their DJ sets sophisticated and accessible to anyone who loves to feel music and move move move.

Who? Orchard Lounge (brought to you by EQ Productions and DEF OWL)
What? A funky dance party
When? Monday, December 28, post-Phish

You are being whipped and thrown around in a Miami-style tornado.  The chances of landing in a venue to ogle a band you may just fall in love with are more than a possibility.  With 25 venues scattered across the area, there are more musical outlets for you to get plugged into than there is time on your neon green wristwatch.  Welcome to the Miami Music Festival.  It’s the area’s grand showcase of bands that you’ve heard, are listening to at this very moment and will hear over airwaves and Pandora in the not so distant future.

What’s your flavor?  Rock, Latin, Pop, Urban?  How about Caribbean or Jazz?  Your ears will explode with the diverse musical offerings, fit to make your pink-lipped mouth water.

This showcase and conference is an all-encompassing event featuring the nation’s freshest breakout artists at venues all around the downtown Miami area from December 10-12.

The more polished and professional-ish piece of the festival will be held at the Miami Convention Center and hosts keynote interviews while allowing attendees to mingle with the likes of A&R execs, radio program directors, film and television folks as well as a whole host of other people worth chatting it up with for a while.

Performances will be held on stages from Tobacco Road and Mekka Discotekka to Waxy O’Connors and Blue Martini.  The majority of these performances are a sort of showcase for major label execs, so expect all the musical entertainment to be on their A-game.  You never know who will be mixed into the mixed up crowd.

Each venue will be doling out one and three-day wristbands for $25 and $50, respectively.  Are you in school?  One-day wristbands will be discounted to $20 and three-day passes for $35.  Otherwise, it’s 10 bucks at the door to each location.

Among the must-see bands are Music Is A Weapon (playing Friday, December 11 at 1am and Saturday, December 12 at 11pm at Tobacco Road) and People from Venus (playing Friday, December 11 at 10 pm at Mekka Discotekka).

There is no place like home when it comes to Miami and their love for upcoming musicians.  Go support your own at this year’s Miami Music Festival.  Check out their website at www.miamimusicfestival.org for tons of details and maps to make it easy to plan out your shows.
