Its been a long time - Brokenhomes do Miami (and eat alot of food)


So its been way over a month since my last post and I have a genuine reason for the laziness.



Pre tense.

Anyway, we the brothers Peakes, Brokenhomes were invited to a wedding on a cruise ship starting off in Miami. We knew it was going to be fun and if you is my friend on facebook y'all ready seen all the pics of the food and everything else that happened in Miami and on the cruise. This late write up is just on the musical slant as per usual.



So this is where we stayed in Downtown Miami. Our family was all up by the airport so we tried to stay somewhere in the middle. Mother of the Brothers Peakes was not to happy about us staying Downtown. She was probably correct, Downtown Miami aint the most exclusive place in the world compared to South Beach but it did its job. PLUS, it was opposite the best/worst takeaway I have ever been to.

Well, that was our resting and eating sorted. (also must make a special mention to S & S Diner, check the reviews. Place was toppa top) As we were not in the party zone/main tourist area of Miami, we decided to have a little stroll over Venetian Causeway one day. That was a tough walk. Check the image for distances and directions.



Daytimes were not a musical affair, although we did listen to alot of Benny Sings



When we did venture over to South Beach for the party, the first night we ended up in this horrible place CAMEOS expensive and gash. What wound me up the most was the DJs girlfriends in the DJ box doing all them lame hand movements. Gash. The music was electro I think, it was the music that is pretty much the same. Build up, drop, electronic bass line, DJs girlfriend moves her hands. We lasted 30 minutes in this club. $20 very well wasted.

The second club we partied in was Mangos Tropical Cafe. We came to party with the Canadian girls (one was celebrating her birthday and was coming on the cruise). We got to the party real late as we were drinking 40s in the hotel room... WHAT?!? BROKENHOMES LIKES TO DRANK!



This club was much better, they played a good selection of rap/rnb and reggaeton (I hate reggaeton). South Beach clubbing is different to London clubbing, only because when we tried to do the cheesy 'ooo ooo' no-one followed up!

The rest of the trip was spent on the Cruise Ship, the thing was huge. Here is a pic of the map they hand out when you get on board. When you see it and then start walking around it you appreciate how much work goes into these floating hotels



We spent most of our late nights in the nightclub on board with a DJ that hated his life. He would play the same music eveeery night and not even mix. Just play solitaire on the other pc. Ah well.

He did make this jam the song of the holiday though



We would like to go cruising and Miami again so if there is anyone that would like to sponsor us, please get in touch :)
