06.06.11Boys And Frogs Release “Old Tribes” VideoIt's one hell of a time to be living in Phoenix right now. Reading that sentence you probably think I'm referring to the temperatures that are now pushing 110, but that's not what I meant. Even though we live in one of the consistently hottest cities on the planet, there's still a whole lot to be excited about right now, even if you don't enjoy swimming and road trips. It seems everyday there's a new gallery, bar, boutique, or some other independent business opening. To say that things were happening in Phoenix would be a major understatement. But, it's not just ...

03.07.11Edward Sharpe, Mumford & Sons, And Old Crow Medicine Show Bring The Railroad Revival Tour To ChandlerThis year is already packed full of highly anticipated shows, but I doubt anything is going to top The Railroad Revival tour when it comes to originality. The tour is going to feature Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros, Mumford & Sons, and Old Crow Medicine Show touring the Southwest exclusively in vintage railcards, and playing six outdoor shows at unique venues. The bands are going to eat, sleep, and record on a 1,500 foot long train made up 15 vintage railcars from the 50's and 60's, pulled by two locomotives. How fucking cool is that!? Even better, the bands ...

02.16.11UM Is Bringing SBTRKT To PhoenixI am leaving for Thailand for a month on March 17th to celebrate my 25th year on earth. I am a combination of nervous, excited, and just a bit bummed about missing a few amazing and groundbreaking shows happening in Phoenix while I'll be away. In particular there's one show on my actual birthday, March 20th, that should not be missed by a single soul in the city. London's hottest rising producer, SBTRKT, will be making an appearance on his way to Coachella. This masked producer has me more excited than any electronic music has since Burial first came out. I ...

02.07.11Photos: Little Dragon And Billygoat At Rhythm RoomLittle Dragon and Billygoat at Rhythm Room was hands-down the best show of 2011 thus far. It's one of the best shows I've seen in years, to be more forthright. This was the most packed I've seen the venue in quite awhile, and the crowd was really into the performance all night. The show started off with the orchestral music and beautiful stop animation video of Portland's Billygoat and then swiftly moved to the main event. I don't think anyone could have possibly left this show without a smile on their face. Tyler Nevitt caught some photos from a very ...

02.07.11Photos: No Age At Trunk SpaceHere's another set of photos courtesy of Tyler Nevitt, which I've again managed to post late. One of these days I'll get this straight! These photos come from a very special set that No Age played at The Trunk Space. The band was scheduled to play on a stage outside, but rainy weather reared it's head and the band had to head inside. A bunch of kids crammed in the room to see a band that is more at home on the festival circuit these days. Of course, this also allowed Tyler to grab some pretty intimate photos from the ...

02.07.11Photos: Small Leaks Sink Ships EP Release ShowI want to start off with saying that Tyler Nevitt took these photos at the release show on JANUARY 27th! How bad has the slacking gotten around these parts? Sorry, Tyler and everyone else awaiting these photos. It's nice to go back to the photos a few weeks after the show though. It brought me back to that night and remembering how awesome it was. Small Leaks Sink Ships played two sets on that fine evening at Rhythm Room to celebrate the release of their new EP. It's called "Oak Street Basement" and you can get it on iTunes and ...

What originally started as a solo project for Joshua Hodges has turned into a fully fleshed-out band and is taking the dancefloors of the world by storm.
