Performing with David will be a 12-piece untethered band. Byrne explains: ‘We’ll be doing some new songs…and many others that will, I assume, be familiar. I’m excited. This is the most ambitious show I’ve done since the shows that were filmed for ‘Stop Making Sense,’ so fingers crossed.” Tickets are still available via Live Nation and start at $120. More info
Saturday, September 29th -Martial Canterel Live @ Gramps
This Saturday, Monotone presents Martial Canterel Live + DJ Carlo Vajra at Gramps in Wynwood. Updating the icy synths and alienation of the ’70s cold wave movement, Martial Canterel is the post-wave project of Xeno & Oaklander’s Sean McBride. The Brooklyn, New York resident keeps his approach close to the original style, eschewing sampling and overdubbing and favoring analog synths and multiple-step sequencers. DJ Vajra will be on the desks holding down the in-betweens. Doors are at 10 pm with a small $10 cover. More info
Sunday, September 30th- Nosebleed Sundays @ Las Rosas
The very Las Rosas event ‘nosebleed Sundays’ will be returning to the venue with a Special Grindcore Edition. Live sets will be brought to you by Shitstorm (OG Miami grind bastards), Los Reyesz Bong Death (Miami’s one & only Mincecore duo), QUE ASKO – FL (sludge grind filth featuring members of Dextro & Reapermanser) and Gentlemen scum, (South Fl. short song slingers).

The event is free so check it out! More info
