Five Best Concerts in Miami This Week

Blood Orange is bringing it to Electric Pickle, and it's a birthday party!

We're almost done with the week, and we're almost done with the first month of 2013. How much have you gotten done so far?

Alright, forget that question. How much have you partied so far? Not enough, right?

Cool ... Well, there's loads of great music coming 'round the bend this weekend, from indie to dreamwave, surf rock, blues, soul, and every kind of sexy in between.

Why don't you find a date and take them out to one of these great shows?
