Joudy, Ladyboy, VMF, Los Zumo

Venezuelan and Latin alternative rock bands share a four-act bill at Churchill’s Pub in Little Haiti. The show takes place Friday, May 15 from 8 p.m. to midnight, with Joudy, LADYBOY, VMF and Los Zumo on the lineup. The event brings together alternative, punk and rock sounds in one of Miami’s long-running rooms for raw, independent live music.

Joudy, an experimental rock band originally from Venezuela and now based in New York City, blends dark-toned melodies, hypnotic rhythms, trip-hop influence and ’90s grunge textures. Barcelona band LADYBOY adds a newer alternative rock presence, drawing from pop-rock, psychedelic stoner sounds and high-energy live performance.

The lineup also includes VMF, a Venezuelan rock band now living in Miami. Available background points to VMF’s roots in Valencia, Venezuela, where the band emerged in 1999 as part of the regional alternative rock scene before later appearing in Miami-area rock bills. (Bandmine) Los Zumo, a Venezuelan band based in Florida, rounds out the night with a catalog that includes the albums Días Blancos and Oro, along with more recent single activity including “Despertar.”
