THE best pool in town


Swung by The Standard to see Toxic Avenger & Panic Bomber, but Mother Nature decided to rain on the parade and I only got to catch Silent Disco, who totally killed it. If you have the chance to take advantage of the many amenities this sweet hotel offers, I highly recommend it, I'm in love with their pool.

Tick, tick, not so much tock

I came across this while acting as Panic Bomber's "private security" last night...I miss my old metronome.

please take a moment to Dance the F out to - Make the Girl Dance

You may have heard part of Make The Girl Dance's "Baby, Baby, Baby" during a Victoria's Secret ad, which should have given me a clue as to how these boys rock out and drive girls wild. The just played a party boat at SXSW with the incomparable Panic Bomber, and are playing Bardot again this Wednesday with him, to kick off Winter Music Conference. If you have the chance, and love to dance check'em out.

12 Days of Panic Bomber

I've said a thousand fantastic things about Panic Bomber, and certainly could say a thousand more, but I'll let someone else do the praising and the press for the time being:

Miami, Florida - December 1, 2009 - PANIC BOMBER's Getting on My Mind LP will be released December 15 as part of the 12 Days of Panic Bomber campaign. Getting on My Mind is 8 new songs plus 4 remixes of the title track, including a version by Takeshi Muto, one half of the influential IDM duo Phoenecia. Notable tracks from the album include, Getting on My Mind, Keep Ignoring, A Giant Tortoise and Bang on the Walls. The December 15th release date will be preceded by a marketing campaign titled, "12 Days of Panic Bomber," running from December 4 - 15. The campaign will facilitate fan interaction in the lead up to the physical release. Each day will include the release of a new piece of Panic Bomber media as well as giveaways to fans that join the fan club on panicbomber.com. On the tenth day, Saturday December 12th, the famed White Room in Miami will hold the record’s official release party, promoted by the heavy hitting combination of Overthrow, Embrace, and Sweat Records, the show will feature The Panic Bomber performing live with a full horn section, dancers and other special guests. Tickets for show will be available at wanttickets.com/embrace. Panicbomber.com, Sweat, and Radio Active Records will begin selling physical copies on December 15th, the final day of the "12 Days" campaign.


Robothands.com, a video production company from NYC, is currently filming a video for the dance edit of the single, "Getting on My Mind." Live footage of Panic Bomber, both solo and with a live band, can be found at panicbomber.com/video.

About Panic Bomber



"The music he makes, regardless of the reasoning behind it, is slick and dance-friendly. It works up to a funky electro-house groove that's rough enough around the edges to belie its creator's rock roots." -Miami New Times



"His performances takes the crowd to an all-new high.. the music is extremely well produced and executed on the stage.

-Cool Junkie



"This American based in Miami defeats, with disconcerting ease, an electro-pop and housey cocktail sung with strange ravey twists of direction..deceptively innocent and terribly engaging."

-Trax Magazine



"He manages to mix electro, house, and techno with touches of pop and concocted a great formula. Familiar, but with a touch of new-ness that makes it fresh to the ears.

-Off the Radar



Miami's fastest rising dance floor innovator is taking this volatile electronic scene by storm, and his forthcoming CD is primed to further the frenzy. Panic Bomber is the brainchild of Richard Haig, a Music Engineering Technology graduate from the University of Miami. Panic Bomber's debut EP dropped in 2009. It garnered press affection from heavy hitters like France's Trax Magazine, which included him on their monthly sampler, was licensed by NBC, and it earned him Miami New Times' coveted title, Best New Electronica Artist of 2009. In the wake of this success, Panic Bomber took his combination of live vocals and synths with house, indie, techno, electro, and break to various corners of the globe. His sold out shows in London and Glasgow have extended his reputation across the pond. Here in the States, Panic Bomber's strong association with tastemakers like Sweat Records and groups like Miami's own Awesome New Republic have the electronic scene buzzing.

Killer Tunes & a Quaint Locale

Saturday night Panic Bomber & Awesome New Republic played a Warehouse party in North Miami and threw down hard. I sweat so hard I could barely see by the end of the evening which was well worth it


Wasn't sure if I looked like a candy cane or a barber's pole...supposedly I looked like a "hot candy striper"

The peeps from The Poem Depot enlightened us all and wrote a piece inspired by how "I am a poem..."


Panic Bomber blowing people's minds and eardrums...


2/3's of ANR...So I guess they're the Awesome and the New

Welcome Back Boys!

On Saturday, November 21, band extraordinaire, Awesome New Republic will be playing an end of tour show in North Miami at Studio 1415. And to top if off Panic Bomber will be performing as well, and after his ridiculously fantastic performance last Saturday, this should be a hoedown.

Friday the Fun-teenth!

Yes my title is incredibly cheesy, but I thought some levity was necessary when shouting out the multi-talented and totally ridiculous, Panic Bomber after taking a gander at the flyer for his show this Friday, November 13th at The Vagabond. So hopefully I'll see you freaks and fans there!

Miami's own Panic Bomber will be playing The Vagabond on Friday, May 15th with the one, the only Van*Gloria. It should be a delightful night of amazing music so check it out if you have the chance.

How damn classy...

I went to the opera on Friday with close friend Richard Haig, to catch Puccini's Madame Butterfly & it was positively lovely, delightful, & I totally fell asleep during it. I didn't intend to, but was so tired from a great weekend at Coachella & long work week. On a completely related unrelated note you should totally check out Panic Bomber if you haven't already, I've given a couple of shouts before but thought I should again.

please take a moment to Rock the F out to - White Lies

White Lies are my new favorite band and I can't wait to see them on Friday at Coachella. The first time I heard their music was the same night I heard Panic Bomber's and can only speak highly of them both, though they sound nothing alike. They're a cross between Editors, Interpol and Joy Division, but definitely have a sense of humor & are willing to step outside their genre and cover Kanye West. They'll be touring all over the world this summer, so if you have the chance to check them out you should, or you can buy their debut album at your nearest Target for under 10 bucks.

Panic Bomber's blitzkrieg at The Vagabond

I have proclaimed my adoration for the madness that is Panic Bomber before, but I now have pics and the experience of a super sick live set at The Vagabond to back me up. Everyone who was there had a fantastic time and Richard put on a bangin set, he should be incredibly proud of. If you're in Miami, you can check him out again on the 21st at the Nightdrive Party, otherwise I'll try and post the video of his set as soon as it's available.

I'm in love with Panic Bomber


Panic Bomber is the new solo project from local Miami musician Richard Haig and it's fucking awesome! I went to the Sweat Records Stocking Stuffer party and ran into Pat Walsh (check out his weekly party NightDrive by the by,) who asked me if I'd heard Richard's album yet, which I had not. Coincidentally I had run into Rich during Art Basel at the ANR, The Jean Marie and Rachel Goodrich show, and he told me he was working on something new and going by the name of "Panic Bomber," which immediately intrigued me, since Richard is a rather intriguing person, & what better to get the people riled up than the mention of something terrorism related.
So when Pat played the "Calling in Threats Demo" for me, I was shocked, entertained and instantly obsessed. As Panic Bomber Richard's found a way to combine a myriad of electronic formats together to create, fun, dark and mildly hilarious yet incredibly good dance music. Off the Radar Music posted a little feature about him, which is rad because he deserves as many shout outs as possible. You can download the whole album "Calling In Threats" for free on his website or listen to 3 of the tracks on myspace, which happens to include the song I simply can't get enough of "Until Our Legs Break," (while "Smooth Sailor" is really growing on me as well.)
You can see Richard as Panic Bomber in seizure inducing action live at The Vagabond (30 NE 14th Street) Friday, January 9th,2009 at 11 pm (& hopefully he'll play Nightdrive on the 1/21/09 too.) So check him out he's going to blow up, figuratively and maybe just literally.
