Local band Lawn talks Miami's music scene
Responses were edited for clarity
When did you start your band?
Romeo (singer songwriter), Cooper (bass) and Daniel (guitar) started the band last summer after working together in a different band.
They decided to leave that project and start their own band so they could explore the indie genre more deeply. Once they found Cliff (drums), Lawn was created.
How would you describe your sound?
Lawn's sound, which takes inspiration from psychedelic rock and shoegaze, is raw yet danceable. Our new EP "House Party Hero" explores a range of styles, from grunge influences ("Overdoser") to the energizing guitar solo on "Prom Night."
What's the best part of Miami's music scene? What are the challenges?
The best part
Romeo: The jazz scene. I've seen a lot of great performances at the Fish House and Lagniappe.
Cliff and Cooper: The diversity of venues and the people that go to them. You've got clubs, bars, waterfront restaurants and rundown warehouses.
Daniel: It's diverse and growing rapidly. Especially when it comes to Latin and EDM music, Miami is the place to be if you want to see firsthand how those genres are evolving.

Surprise! Johnny Depp joins Alice Cooper for Ozzy Osbourne tribute
Alice Cooper and his surprise guest Johnny Depp have paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Depp made an appearance with Cooper during the rocker's concert at London's O2 Arena on Friday, July 25. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, 62, joined Cooper, 77, in honoring Osbourne by playing guitar during a performance of the classic Black Sabbath song "Paranoid," according to video from the show shared on social media and YouTube. Depp formed the rock group Hollywood Vampires with Cooper in 2012. Cooper wore an Osbourne shirt for the tribute performance, which came days after the Black Sabbath musician died on July 22 at age 76. According to a statement from Osbourne's family, he "was with his family and surrounded by love." Cooper previously paid tribute to the rock icon in an Instagram post, noting he heard the news minutes before going on stage and subsequently dedicated his July 22 performance in Wales to the musician. "Well, we all know that time is going to take us rockers, but when the giants fall, it's really hard to accept," Cooper shared. "Even though everybody saw it coming with Ozzy, it just took our breath away when it happened. So Ozzy and family − your records and your music and your legend and all that you brought − the humor to the rock business − will live on forever and we're gonna miss you, man." Cooper also said that Osbourne "earned immense respect among his peers and from fans around the world as an unmatched showman and cultural icon." "He was and will continue to be a rock n roll legend. Rock n Roll is a family and a fraternity," he added. "When we lose one of our own it bleeds. I wish I would have gotten to know my brother Ozzy better." Cooper spoke further about Osbourne on "The Scott Mills Breakfast Show," noting the two of them "really got along" and shared a desire to continue performing as long as they could. Osbourne died just weeks after he performed during a farewell show with Black Sabbath. "Ozzy was one of those guys that was a lifer," Cooper reflected. "There are certain guys that are lifers − the (Rolling) Stones, The Beatles − that are still doing it and doing it amazingly well. I'm going to do this until I can't do it, and I think Ozzy was the same thing."

Bradley Cooper May ‘Pop the Question' to Gigi Hadid in a ‘Couple of Months'
THE RUNDOWN After almost two years of dating, sources close to Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper believe they may be getting engaged soon. An insider speaking with Page Six says that they are very serious and that Cooper is 'considering marriage and kids with Gigi.' 'He might pop the question in the next couple of months,' they added. Another source stated, 'They could picture a blended family with their daughters and their own kids,' adding they are 'incredibly happy and are in their own bubble.' Both the actor and the model have children already, with Cooper sharing his seven-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, with model Irina Shayk. Hadid shares her five-year-old daughter, Khai, with former boyfriend Zayn Malik. An insider told People in January that the couple has introduced their daughters and they all spend time together. 'It's very sweet,' said the source. 'They are busy with work, but also prioritize their relationship and daughters.' The couple first stirred dating rumors in October 2023 after being seen on a dinner date at Via Carota in New York City. They have been very discreet about their connection, but in March, Hadid opened up to Vogue that they met at the 'backyard birthday party' of a mutual friend's child. She also shared some of the challenges that come with dating as a celebrity. 'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard,' Hadid began. 'Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there's another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on DeuxMoi or whatever, but you just don't know.' Hadid added that her and Cooper's relationship is 'very romantic and happy.'
