#HINDS GRAMPS MIAMI FULL#
Though neither JC, nor the Voidz will be in attendance for the Miami event, there will be some live tunes from Male Model, Gwand, Sad Ghost, Forlatt, and Wynona Grinder, as well as a showing of local music documentary crew Audio Junkie’s latest episode featuring Boston-based punk band Free Pizza.Ĭheck below for the full “Human Sadness” screening tour dates. Most of the announced screenings are scheduled for Brooklyn, but there are also events set for Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Boston, Nashville, Montreal, Washington, D.C., and Miami’s Gramps in Wynwood. There are fast cars, war scenes, apocalyptic dust storms, and the Voidz playing music while an asteroid hurtles toward Earth. Produced over six months and helmed by two directors, Warren Fu and Nicholaus Goossen, the clip seems to be, based on the teaser trailer, an ambitiously executed short film. And the song’s soon-to-be-released music video is apparently just as epic, because the Strokes singer and company - guitarists Jeramy Gritter and Amir Yaghmai, keyboard player Jeff Kite, bassist Jake Bercovici, and drummer Alex Carapetis - have just announced a screening tour.Īs Casablancas exclaimed on Facebook: “ Chegg out an advance screening of thee full Human Sadness video at a venue near you…! see it before it comes out online (on 5/27) and hang out in a social-type gathering!” That’s the title of an epic 11-minute track off the six-man outfit’s debut album, Tyranny. is prepping his third solo record while bassist Nikolai Fraiture tours with a new crew called Summer Moon.Īs for Casablancas, he’s busy exploring “Human Sadness” with the Voidz. With only seven festival shows scheduled through 2015, the essential early-2000s rock band has no plans for a new album. Want more? Sign up here to stay in the know.Though the Strokes are still together, frontman Julian Casablancas, like his bandmates, has spent the last few years on other endeavors. And I’m partnering with the guys from Blackbird and Abbey to take over the News Lounge ( 5580 NE 4th Court). I’m also opening a smaller bar in little Haiti on 53rd street. I’m opening a casual restaurant on the Miami River. Leases have been signed and properties have been purchased for some new concepts.

And in Miami right now, how many places can you say you see that? I’m walking-actually walking- around and saying hi to the people at Boxelder, the people at Panther.

I know a lot of people don’t feel that way but you can’t tell the small business owners that have been here 24/7 for the last five or six years that it’s not a neighborhood in terms of being able to walk around and see people who know each other. Listen, it’s one of the only actual neighborhoods in Miami. Fatherhood has made me less cynical toward murals. It’s nice to see families who’ve never seen anything like it walk around and enjoy the buildings and the Wynwood Walls. I used to not like the murals much, but now that I have a kid, my opinion of street art has softened. What’s your take on Wynwood as an arts district? You didn’t really see Wynwood start to become a nightlife destination until late 2014. How has the neighborhood changed since you first opened?īack then you had Joey’s, Panther Coffee and the Electric Pickle Company, but that was really it. There were no assurances that more would be happening. It was an abandoned space owned by someone in the garment industry who had other warehouses, including one where Coyo Taco now sits. We opened our doors in 2012, but I selected the site in early 2011.

I just had a short checklist of requirements: indoor/outdoor space, parking and a central location. Gramps was the first bar you ever opened. Fans of the bar will also be giddy to learn that Gersten has plans to expand beyond Wynwood with three new concepts, which he shared in a conversation with us. Gersten was among the first nightlife venues to invest in Wynwood and in just over four years Gramps has grown into a music, comedy and drag venue that also functions as a chill happy hour spot and more-than-proficient cocktail bar. Gramps balances its lazy, tropical vibe with a whirling events schedule that guarantees something fun is happening just about seven days a week. Adam Gersten's bar is young-under five years old-but it already feels like one of those classic drinking establishments that have been around for generations. Give us enough time for two, three, eight more cocktails-and chances are we're still staying put at Gramps. Plop us in Wynwood with just enough time for one drink, and we know where we're going: Gramps.
