07.15.10|The Quincy Brings The Late Night Party This Friday|It's always a disappointment when you're out having a really good night with friends and 2 AM rolls around and the bars kick you out. Sure, you could just take the party to your house, but it's always more fun to go out where the music is loud and strangers mingle. Luckily there's a stellar party taking place at The Quincy on Friday night featuring three of my favorite DJs in Phoenix. This is going to be a special session as each DJ will be presenting a 35 minute mix with live audio and video being recorded for later use. ...

07.14.10|Hear A New Track From Mr. Meeble|Local band Mr. Meeble just gave the internet a treat by posting a new song named "Gift" for all their fans to gobble up. This track is epic and lush and quite possibly the best song I've heard come out of Phoenix all year. This is exactly the kind of sound I'm looking for when I'm staying inside on hot summer nights to avoid having to take my third shower of the day. Luckily we shouldn't have to wait much longer to get a whole lot more Meeble, as they also shared the news that they're busy at work on ...

07.13.10|The Twelves Are Coming To Optimist Club In Tucson|Brazil may not have won the World Cup that they were so favored to bring home, but they still have the champions of funky electro in The Twelves.

So how fucking lucky is Tucson to get to experience these guys work their magic live? That's exactly what's going to happen on July 29th when they visit Optimist Club, which takes place Thursday nights at Club Congress. The party gets started early ...

07.13.10|Civic Space Jam Turns 9 On Sunday|I feel that the heart and soul of a city is defined by the level of community interaction that takes place. As Phoenix is such a young city and constantly in a state of growth, I feel like it's doubly important here. That's why free events that focus on getting different groups to come together and have fun are such a precious thing. Civic Space Jam has been a shining example of how to do these events the right way and the fact that it has lasted so long just goes to show that. The monthly event will happen for ...

07.13.10|Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings To Make First Phoenix Appearance|Isn't there some kind of boycott going on in this state? Because you certainly could have fooled me. I'm not saying that to downplay the seriousness of the situation brewing both in the state and nationally right now. I only mean that this Summer and Fall are shaping up to be the most incredible seasons for live music in Phoenix that I've ever witnessed. Lets all focus on how lucky we are to get all these amazing bands that ARE coming through town and thank the promoters that are working tirelessly to keep these acts coming here during this trying ...

07.13.10|FYF Fest Lineup Announced|Memorial Day tends to end up being another holiday that Americans use as an excuse to get out of town and get incredibly fucked up, while completely forgetting the point of the holiday. You may think I'm being judgmental, but that's far from true! I'm actually just trying to tell you about the best place you could possibly escape to and get wasted while watching a plethora of great bands. That's right, it's almost time for FYF Fest once again. This year the organizers have crafted another day full of genre-bending entertainment in the beautiful Los Angeles State Historic Park. ...
