From Miami New Times by Arielle Castillo:
This week’s Flamingo Fridays party at PS14 marks the first show in a while on this side of the county line for the Miami foursome Astari Nite. The band has been steadily plugging away at its chilly, Placebo-influenced rock, but recent weeks have seen it playing mostly around Broward and even West Palm Beach. Now that summer’s here, singer Mychael Ghost and company have set to work on a proper debut EP, heading into the studio soon with Howard Melnick, formerly of Fashionista and currently of Champagne Days. They plan to release a final five-song, self-titled disc in August. And while this edition of Flamingo welcomes back Astari Nite, it also bids bon voyage to local co-headliners Old Wives Tale. Those post-punk dancefloor hoodlums are leaving next week on a mini European tour that will take them through England and Spain.
The lineup also features the Monday Photo and a DJ set by Otto Von Schirach. Ages 18 and up are welcome with proper ID.

From Miami New Times‘ Rachel Goodrich, Your New Favorite Singer by Deidra Funcheon:
It’s difficult to say which is more awesome: Rachel Goodrich’s catchy song “The Black Hole” or its low-fi video. In it, she sings while kneeling on her friend’s unmade bed; she’s wearing, for no real reason, a ladybug costume and a pair of sunglasses. Meanwhile, her friend Jon Estes plays the double bass.
There is something sublimely perfect about the clip and about Goodrich herself. Maybe it’s her goofiness. Maybe it’s her genuineness. Maybe it’s the fact that she kicks ass on, like, 16 different instruments, including spoons. Whatever it is, as soon as people get wind of this chick, they want to be her friend. At least one dude has asked to be her boyfriend. At the very least, listeners get her songs stuck in their heads for three weeks. She just has that effect.
Take, for example, the show Goodrich played last month at downtown Miami’s PS14. The minute she plugged in her amp, her smile seemed too big for her head, her voice seemed too big for the room, and audience members could be overheard declaring her their New Favorite Singer. She wore Converse sneakers, suspenders, and not a lick of makeup. Her shiny brown ponytail snaked in front of her shoulder. (The girl can pull off bangs.) The crowd swooned collectively as if it were developing a giant crush. Where was Oprah’s couch when you needed it?
