SWEET 13
With 13 bands playing 13-minute sets, Death to the Sun promises it’ll be quick, easy, and sweet. This semiannual homegrown rock festival presents the best and brightest — and also the weirdest — acts Miami has to of-
fer. The fest, created by musician Ricardo Guerrero, will take place at the North Beach Bandshell for the third year. It’ll feature Gavin Perry of Holly Hunt’s side project Academic, the grown-up punks of Donzii, and the delightfully odd and talented Rick Fantasies, among others. There will also be a live stream by Jolt Radio and wares by Mid- night Thrift and ABA Jewels. 4 p.m. Saturday at North Beach Bandshell, 7275 Collins Ave., Miami Beach; northbeachbandshell.com. Ad- mission is free, but attendees are encouraged to donate at gofundme.com/DTTS7. LIZ TRACY

LIKE A HURRICANE
It might seem hard to believe, but III Points is less than a month away. It’s crunch time, people. To prepare you for the sheer amaze- ment of the festival proper, the organizers have teamed up with Gramps to bring Aussie DJ Tornado Wallace into town. That’s right, he’s actually called Tornado Wallace. Considering Miami’s recent troubles with windy weather and the festival’s own history with hurricanes, it’s a pretty appropriate name. Also on the bill for the dusk-to-midnight party is El Bigote, Patrick Walsh, and Sinopoli. 5 p.m. Sunday at Gramps, 176 NW 24th St., Miami; 305-669-2669; gramps.com. Admission is free.

AY, QUE METAL
South America is known for its metal heads. And Rata Blanca is one of the legendary heavy bands from that region. Formed in 1986 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by guitar- ist Walter Giardino, it’s one of the more important Spanish-language rock outfits. The band is so big that even American metal heads (who often know only American artists) are fans. The Grammy-nominated group’s song “Mujer Amante” is a mega- ballad, and the “The Fairy and the Mage” has been watched by scores of YouTubers. The multiplatinum-selling act has shared stages with AC/DC, Megadeth, Ozzy Osbourne,

SHADES OF GRAY
Late-’90s pop ballads don’t get much better than David Gray’s “Babylon,” even if adult alter- native seems like code for depressing, middle- aged-white-lady music. But Gray has enjoyed quite the career on the other side of the pond, evidenced by the U.K. artist’s show at Parker Playhouse. Even if you don’t know all the words to this folk-rock crooner’s songs, you can catch the highlights of his 25-year career. 8 p.m. Tues- day at Parker Playhouse, 707 NE Eighth St., Fort Lauderdale; 954-462-0222; parkerplayhouse. com. Tickets cost $47.50 to $67.50. TAYLOR ESTAPE

FASTER THAN BULLETS
One of the most hilariously boneheaded, harebrained schemes Todd comes up with in the new season of Bojack Horseman involves a Foster the People song. “I’m just saying,” he explains, outlining a plan to solve the gun crisis, “if people have the right to pumped-up kicks, maybe they can outrun the bullets!” Absurd cartoon references aside, Foster the People actually has a few more songs than its big hit, “Pumped Up Kicks,” such as the funky “Houdini” and the more emotional “I Would Do Anything for You.” You can hear them all when the band performs in South Beach. With Cherry Glazerr. 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305- 673-7300; fillmoremb.com. Tickets cost $29.50 to $48.50 via livenation.com.
