Live Music Weekend Roundup:vB-52s, GrassRoots Festival

 

Live music in the Biscayne Corridor and in downtown Miami

By Beached Miami

Between Friday and Sunday there is a festival's worth of worthy live music in Miami, including Com Truise at Bardot (Saturday); and the B-52s at the Arsht Center (Sunday).

There's also an actual festival -- the GrassRoots Festival at Virginia Key (Thursday - Sunday), headlined by Chaka Khan and Fishbone.

For full details on all of the shows going down this weekend, check out the Miami Music Guide -- but not before watching this performance of "Bananas" from Goodrich's Jan. 20 show at Ricochet, presented by Beached Miami.

    One Direction wows S. Florida fans in opening concert of U.S. tour

    No, they’re not the Beatles. But One Direction, the British tween/teen heartthrobs who’ve re-ignited the boy-band phenomenon, do have a few similarities to the Fab Four. They’re goofy, charming and effortlessly confident. And as they showed in the opening show of their U.S. tour Thursday night before a screaming, sold-out crowd at Fort Lauderdale’s BB&T Center, the Fab Five wreak havoc on American girls with their British accents, cheeky innocence and bouncy, sweetly harmonizing pop songs.

    Wikileaks founder Julian Assange and famed Calle 13 rapper Residente will write a song together Thursday night

The outspoken rapper and songwriter will meet with Assange at 10 p.m. London time Thursday to write a song with him. The two men will compose in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where Assange has taken refuge for the past year after being charged by the U.S. government over Wikileaks’ massive release of government documents.
