Spend your Thursday nights at Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)! This week, enjoy happy hour specials, a live music performance by Venus Descent, and the release of “Severe Weather: A Hot Stuff Records Cassette Tape Compilation.” Inside the museum, take a tour and explore new exhibitions and permanent collection galleries until 9pm. 

Featuring 17 songs from some of South Florida’s premier underground bands and alternative artists, “Severe Weather: A Hot Stuff Records Cassette Tape Compilation” represents something increasingly rare today—honest songwriting, stripped of theatrics and delivered with an authenticity often missing in a world driven by algorithms and calculated social media strategy. The tape is limited to 100 copies, released with a 36-page zine, featuring band artwork, photos, lyrics & credits. Show up early for a free copy of the cassette compilation and zine! 

Also watch a performance by Hot Stuff Records’ preeminent Miami band, Venus Descent. Venus Descent represents the purest distillation of the Severe Weather ethic, playing raw, stripped-down blues rock inspired by the music of rock and roll’s golden age. The band’s new single, “Big Star Big” is featured on the Severe Weather compilation and their full-length record, to be released later this year.  

About Hot Stuff Records

Hot Stuff Records is a record label based in Miami, formed in 2023 by Ian Dolan and Jared Hutcherson, two local artists with over 15 years of experience playing music and putting out records. Determined by a do-it-yourself ethic, the record label seeks to highlight Miami and South Florida artists who play music for the joy it brings themselves and others, not for fame, money, or recognition.  

Museum admission is free after 5pm every Thursday night.
