A couple of weeks ago we reposted “It’s Never Easy” via Off The Radar - the first Modernage track released in four years!!!
Today, we’re happy to release to the world their second single – “Bullets.”
We also managed to slip frontman Mario Giancarlo and Xavier Alexander (guitar/keys) a few questions, surely some of the same ones on everybody’s mind, regarding the Modernage hiatus and return. Continue Reading

Ordinary Boys are keeping the legend of The Smith’s and Morrissey a-live in our town. I met A.J. Navarrete aka AJ Rebel, the lead singer of the ensemble, at the now trending Gramps in Wynwood.
We talked about everything from the legend of The Smiths, Morrissey, the history, conception and future of Ordinary Boys to tribute bands, nostalgia, and vegetarianism.
As I warmly recall the wild summer nights that I first hit the scene, when Jennys Was A Friend of Mine and together we discovered on the dance floor the kind of magic that took us to Such Great Heights and back again; I realize that no matter what the current trend is, Miami needs an indie dance party!
The District may not be around anymore but luckily The Vagabond has “reloaded” their weekly Friday party with an arsenal of indie dance magic; guaranteed to bring back that Electric Feel and give the Young Folk What You Want and the rest of us what we need – indie rock, dirty disco, house, and electro beats!

Miami indie rock band Modernage has been laying low for quite some time. Only recently doing one off shows here and there in 2012 after a long hiatus.
Now it seems the live shows have inspired the band to get back into the studio to record some new material, their first new music in 4 years.
Although we knocked out early Friday night, exhausted from getting everything ready to rock and roll for The Artisans Garden the following evening, our buddy Daniel De Las Casas hit up The Vagabond for what we heard was a kick-ass show and got some great shots of the Hunters Of The Alps performance!
This weekend, venture over to the dark side for Art Nights aka the official after-parties for DWNTWN Art Days hosted by The Vagabond and yours truly.
You’re invited to linger around the ‘hood to discover the art and music that illuminate the alleys and corridors of the Downtown Miami Media & Entertainment District.
Last month we kicked-it at The Armory Studios with local musician and performer Mario Giancarlo (Modernage) and our friend and local photographer, Daniel De Las Casas.
We came out for some wine but we stayed for the music…
