12.12.11Cults Set To Return To Phoenix And Tucson In 2012Barring the long-predicted apocalypse slamming down in Phoenix and ruining all our fun, one of the indie world's favorite bands is coming back to Phoenix and Tucson for what's sure to be another stellar set of gigs. Stateside announced earlier today that the band will touch down at Club Congress on March 18th and at Rhythm Room on March 19th. The overwhelming amount of hype that the band has received since before they even released a record shows zero sign of showing down, so I'd recommend you get your tickets far in advance to avoid missing these shows. I'll be ...

08.09.11Mac Miller, Pac Div, And Casey Veggies Headed To Phoenix And Tucson In NovemberNovember is a month that's stacked with awesome shows in Phoenix and Tucson, with quite a few hip hop shows amongst them. Obviously everyone is geeking out over the OFWGKTA show happening at Marquee on November 8th, but I'm hoping you're not sleeping on a tour coming through each of the aforementioned towns just a few days after. Universatile Music is bringing The Blue Slide Park Tour to the Celebrity Theatre on November 11th and to Rialto Theatre on November 12th.

05.10.11Cults Is Returning To Club CongressCults was one of last year's biggest buzz bands, but don't let that stop you from catching them live! This band managed to live up to the incredible hype they were afforded, all before even having a release under their belt. Their set during Fun Fun Fun Fest last year was one of my personal favorites. The sun was slowly setting and it felt like there was a bit of magic in the air. I had already found myself enjoying their recorded output at that time, but was permanently won over after catching that performance. Luckily, I just got word ...

11.15.10|Photos: Bear In Heaven And Lower Dens At Club Congress|I'm not gonna lie, I've been totally lazy and unmotivated since I got back from Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin last Monday. In fact, I've been sitting on a whole bunch of photos from contributor Tyler Nevitt and he probably hates me for it right about now. Sorry about that one Tyler! Luckily for you though, I'm posting all of the backlog of photos right now. For those of you that don't know Tyler, he is a local photographer-extraordinaire and also runs the blog Street Ape. He has been an infrequent contributor to this site, but expect to be ...

08.16.10|Designer Drugs And Bart Bmore Headline Werewolf Bar Mitzvah|The citizens of Tucson are doing their best to make sure that us Phoenicians spend the entire Halloween weekend down South, and I must say they're doing a damn good job at it. I was already decided that I'd be spending Halloween night at the Rialto seeing Of Montreal play, but a whole weekend spent at Hotel Congress seems pretty likely after the news I heard today. That's right.. there's a huge party happening the Friday night before Halloween, and with a 30 Rock inspired name to boot! Werewolf Bar Mitzvah is also going down at The Rialto and I've ...

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 ...

06.30.10|Spoon Plays The Rialto In October|Anyone familiar with Austin, Texas knows that music is the number one export from the city. You also probably know that Spoon is likely their biggest and best known gift to the world at large. I'm in love with this band in ways I can't even describe. Seeing this band play live has felt like a religious experience to me each time I've been lucky enough to catch them. Well, here's where things get a little sticky for me and probably for a few of you as well. If you read the post below, you can tell I'm obviously a ...
