12.07.11You Should Have Taken Acid With Neon IndianIf you managed to miss out on the opportunity to ingest said drugs with Neon Indian the last time they were in town, you'll luckily get another chance to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Or, if you don't partake in such recklessness, you can simply come and dance your ass off to some electronic-indie goodness. You'll have to wait a few months, as they're not coming to town until April 12th. However, the wait will be well worth it, as they'll be doing a live set at Boomstick, the best dance night that Thursdays in Phoenix has to ...

11.29.11ROAR Release Music Video For “I Can’t Handle Change”Local indie band ROAR just released a new music video that manages to be funny, heartwarming, and highly entertaining at the same time. It also does a damn good job of selling the band as a local act that you should pay attention to. "I Can't Handle Change" is the title track for the band's EP, that you can download right over here. After you watch this video, you should be primed and ready to come see the band open up for Andrew Jackson Jihad at Crescent Ballroom on December 17th. The killer locals lineup also features Sweetbleeders, Empire Of ...

11.22.11MP3: Drake – “Over My Dead Body” (Star Slinger Remix)I don't get excited about mainstream records too often these days, but there's always a rare exception. For me, it seems like every time a new Drake record comes out I geek out like a teenage girl at a Twilight premiere. Looking at my FB wall and the blogosphere chatter, I know I'm not the only one. And you know what, I'm not even going to say this is a guilty pleasure or any nonsense like that. "Take Care" is one of my favorite records of 2011 and by far the best thing this Toronto visionary has released yet. So, ...

11.17.11Crescent Ballroom Hosts Mr. Meeble’s Homecoming Tomorrow NightMr. Meeble just returned home after a whirlwind 18-date tour throughout Europe. It's really exciting to see a talented band from Phoenix make the hop across oceans and play countries like Czech Republic, Servia, Spain, and Portugal. The tour was reported as a successful endeavor and they're now ready to finish it off with their last Phoenix show for the year. The show is a 21+ event at Crescent, which means you can expect some booming sound to go along with Meeble's laser show. I'd recommend arriving early, as the all-locals lineup is worth skipping out on being fashionably ...

11.01.11MP3: Scenic – “Kelly Watch The Stars” (Air Cover)Australia has long been my favorite exporter of indie bands with an electronic twist. There surely has to be something in the water to produce so many awesome bands. Well, besides all the world's most poisonous creatures, I mean. The latest band I can't get enough of is called Scenic. These guys hail from Perth and just released their EP 'Another Sky' on Future Classic. I highly recommend getting your hands on that ASAP, but I actually want to give you guys this amazing Air cover that they recorded for an upcoming 7" release. I think you'll likely be dying ...

11.01.11MP3: A$AP Rocky – “Peso”The wonderful world of the internet brought us the latest hip-hop mixtape that everyone needs to download yesterday. Now, I know you were probably out getting fucked up in a Pokemon costume or some shit, so I'm posting this today to make sure you don't go and miss something this essential. I mean, you don't want your life to completely suck, right? Consider this my public service for the day. A$AP Rocky released his new mixtape to the world, fresh off signing a reported $3million deal, and it's absolutely ridiculous. You want this, you crave this, you need this. It's ...

10.31.11MP3: BADBADNOTGOODI was spending my night endlessly clicking around various corners of the internet the other night and managed to discover one of my best finds of recent times. I found BADBADNOTGOOD through the videos of the sessions they recorded with Tyler, The Creator and was immediately intrigued. I started to dig a little deeper and realized these guys had recorded jazz versions of some pretty amazing cover tracks and even had a mixtape with some original stuff on it. I'm a huge fan of jazz and am thrilled when I hear something that's current, as it seems like there's not ...

10.25.11MP3: Eligh & Amp Live – Tattoo SongEligh & Amp Live came together to record a new album called 'Therapy At 3,' that's going to see release on November 15th. These are two of my favorite up-and-coming acts in the hip-hop scene and seeing them come together has been a real treat for me. They just hit us off with the first single from this record, the fantastic "Tattoo Song." This one is a nice mix of electro and hip-hop, with some dope lyrics and a fun video. Enjoy them and go pre-odrder the LP. MP3: Eligh & Amp Live – Tattoo Song

10.25.11MP3: Theophilus London – I Stand Alone (Ocelot Remix)Theophilus London's album 'Timez are Weird These Days' has been getting constant play from me since I first got my hands on it a few months ago. The album has a very fresh and original sound and is diverse in a way that attracts fans of lots of different styles of music. Many people have been attracted to the album by hearing the totally awesome first single, "I Stand Alone." I just got the remix from the talented Ocelot and have it available for your downloading pleasure below. I also threw up the music video of the original track, because ...

10.24.11Switch Is Coming To Crescent Next Month!I think it's fair to say that the secret is out when it comes to Crescent Ballroom, the newest and greatest venue in downtown Phoenix. I've yet to talk to a single person that wasn't absolutely thrilled with the spot, and I've got to say I share the same opinion. From the sound, to the benches in the back, to the multiple bars and fantastic food, there isn't much I can complain about. I would like the front lounge and outdoor bar to be a little bigger, but that's just nitpicking at this point. I think one of the best ...
