08.18.10|The Henry Clay People To Play Yucca Tap Room|I feel like a kid on Christmas day every time I hear about a great touring band announcing a show at Yucca Tap Room. How could I not get excited about the possibility of seeing a band for free at one of my favorite venues, filling myself with cheap booze the whole time? I love seeing all the local bands that often get their start at the infamous bar, but it's extra special when an established national act comes through. That brings me to The Henry Clay People, who have just about the perfect sound for this bar, and will ...

08.18.10|Gina Turner Comes to FUSE Fridays|FUSE Fridays has become an institution in the Phoenix nightlife scene since bursting out of the gate nearly two years ago. The night is well known for bringing world class talent to Downtown Phoenix, often snagging guests that you would probably assume would never make it to AZ. Even though it's been an incredibly hot and humid summer, they still pack the rooftop of Bar Smith on a weekly basis and make people dance like it's the first time they learned how. They're getting ready to celebrate their two year anniversary in October, and the rumors are they have some ...

08.18.10|The Grand Avenue Fashion Show Returns, Bigger And Better Than Ever|I think I do a pretty good job of covering the local music scene, but I have been lacking big time on the coverage of the rest of the arts and culture of this beautiful city. Consider this the beginning of my efforts to give you readers a more rounded guide to what's happening in Phoenix. If there's one event that you need to mark down on your calendar right now, it's the return of the annual Grand Ave. fashion show. Last year the event took place at Paisley Town and I had a blast DJing the runway show for ...

08.16.10|MP3: Surfer Blood – Twin Peaks (Golden Ages Remix)|If you caught Surfer Blood's debut show in Phoenix at The Trunk Space, I know you've been anxiously anticipating a return visit from them. After they canceled one show here and then completely skipped us on the next tour, I was beginning to think they may have something against us. Even though I had a great conversation at Bikini with a few of the guys from the band after that show and highly doubt that's true, I've still been feeling a bit slighted. So, you can probably picture me jumping up and down in my office when I read the ...

08.16.10|The Budos Band Live At Sail Inn Tomorrow Night|I can't tell you the last time I was as excited about seeing a band live as I am about seeing The Budos Band tomorrow night. I've been looking for an opportunity to see them for years now and never managed to find one. They haven't even played at one of the countless festivals I've attended since I first discovered them. Well, tomorrow night that dream is finally coming true and I only have to drive ten minutes from my house to get there! The thirteen-piece "Afro Soul" band from Staten Island is going to put on what will no ...

08.11.10|DJentrification At Blunt Club Tomorrow Night|Yucca Tap Room has easily become my favorite place in the city to be on a Thursday night. If you're like me and like to get your weekend started early, there's no better place to be tomorrow. As you probably know by now, Blunt Club has found a new home at Tempe's best dive bar and I think it's the best spot the long-running club night has chosen so far. The combination of no cover charges, cheap drinks, and a central location add up to make this a can't miss event. The addition of the new lounge connected to the ...

08.06.10|I Love The 90’s Vol. 2 With DJ Epidemic Is Tonight|I won't lie... Phil's just might be the hottest bar I've ever set foot in. I had sweat dripping off my face before I even got my first drink the last time I went to this dive bar that clearly doesn't believe in Phoenician's rights to A/C. But I can also tell you that I stuck around regardless, because the place was packed with friends I hadn't seen for awhile and the music was loud and mixed well. By the end of the night I was converted to Phil's fan-club. So when you're asking yourself if there's somewhere to go ...

08.06.10|Super Sensational Saturday Hosts Treasure Mammal Release|Boris and crew have been holding down Saturday nights at my neighborhood bar for more than a few years now. I haven't been making it down there as often as I'd like lately, which is a shame when the bar is so close and is the best place in town to be on a Saturday. It also just might have the most people crammed into a tiny bar you've ever seen. If you've yet to make it to an edition of Super Sensational Saturday, then you're missing out. Especially if you enjoy people watching and cheap drinks, along with a ...

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 ...
