Tomorrow, the ROCK THE BELLS tour comes to Miami!! WU-TANG, Nas, more of hip hop's finest, and the cream of the local crop will be moving butts at Bayfront. Get your tickets now!!

Also, we are super proud to help spread the word that the CD Collector of Ft. Lauderdale, an amazing independent record store, has expanded and is being re-named RADIO-ACTIVE RECORDS!! Their grand expansion celebration is tomorrow so go and check out live performances, DJs, free food and drinks, and over 3,000 sq. ft. of CDs, LPs, DVDs, turntables and more (full info below).
