Miami\u2019s most legendary music joint is blowing out the candles this month. Churchill\u2019s Pub is celebrating 47 years of loud music and creative freedom.<\/p>\n
Matthew Touchstone: \u201cIt\u2019s always a circus here. We\u2019re always doing multiple things. Sometimes we got like a literal circus and punk rock bands and then DJs outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pub is marking another milestone. Sept. 6th is their first reopening anniversary after a long pandemic shutdown.<\/p>\n
Matthew Touchstone: \u201cEveryone was not betting on us to come back at all. There were rumors that we were gonna be an Olive Garden. I started that one but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Skip the breadsticks, Churchill\u2019s is sticking to its roots.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a month-long music lineup that includes electronic artist Kontravoid.<\/p>\n
And LA-based rockers Militarie Gun. The venue has survived nearly five decades by welcoming every genre imaginable.<\/p>\n
Frank Falestra: \u201cNationally, we\u2019re probably one of the most unique bars in the country. We do a lot of range of music; anything goes.\u201d<\/p>\n
From hardcore punk to experimental noise, the Churchill\u2019s stage is sacred ground for Miami\u2019s local scene.<\/p>\n
Frank Falestra: \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily noise. It\u2019s just any crazy, outgoing, or any interesting combination of music and performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
