November is a big month. We\u2019ve got huge life-changing events, like the election of a Florida Senate member and the long-awaited release of \u201cGTA VI<\/a>\u201d \u2014 but between long gaming sessions and awkward conversations at your family\u2019s Thanksgiving dinner, you might need to get out of the house and live a little.<\/p>\n

After spending $80 to $100-plus on the most anticipated game of the century, give your wallet a rest and enjoy some music for free. Whether it\u2019s jammin\u2019 reggae, swing dancing, roller disco, Radiohead tributes or synthy post-punk delights, Miami-Dade and Broward counties have something sweet for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rae Sada B2B Ape Drums<\/p>\n

Both selectors bring a spicy blend of bass-heavy house, funky world sounds and Caribbean-laced rhythms.

Optic Sink\u00a0<\/p>\n

Las Rosas is turning the stage into a Memphis-to-Miami cultural exchange program as Tennessee trio Optic Sink brings its synth-glow, post-punk style to the 305. It\u2019s a little bit \u201880s feeling, a little bit indie sleaze revival, whatever era feels closer to your heart. Local rockers Cypher, Ember and The Boy Who Wore Jade provide support, so you\u2019re definitely in good hands. 9 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Las Rosas, 2898 NW 7th Ave., Miami, instagram.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Radiohead Tribute with Hearing Damage<\/p>\n

No, you\u2019re not going to go deaf if you come to this show in Pompano Beach, but we do recommend earplugs whenever enjoying live music. Hearing Damage is just the name of the band that will play a bunch of beloved Radiohead songs in tribute to the saddest and most paranoid band of influential electronic-rock pioneers. It\u2019s actually a reference to a Thom Yorke song from 2009. Anyway, they sound great and they do all the hits \u2014 the latter never being a guarantee at a real Radiohead concert. 8 to 11 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14, at Revelry, 227 S. Federal Hwy., Pompano Beach, 954-295-6662, eventbrite.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
