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. This duo has taken the world of club music by storm and managed to record one of the best Essential Mixes I've ever heard, which is really saying something. 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 ...

They'll be touring in support of the album, alongside Active Child, and making an appearance at Plush in Tucson on October 5th. MP3: School Of Seven Bells - Babelonia

06.01.10|The National And Owen Pallet Are Coming To Tucson And Phoenix|I came home from a long day of work to hear just about the best news possible today. That's right, The National are headed to Arizona! A band that rarely ever tours the West Coast, unless they're playing a festival or a few isolated California shows, is coming to visit the desert in October. Fresh off the staggering success of their new album "High Violet", (Which managed to land at number three on the Billboard 200 with 30,000 copies sold the first week) the band is going on tour to promote and celebrate it's release. I saw these guys back ...

05.25.10|Monotonix To Heat Up Club Congress In July|I doubt I really need to explain who Monotonix are as the band has made quite a name for themselves in a little more than four years of existence. The garage rock band formed in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2005 and proceeded to get banned from every club in the city. Since they couldn't play locally anymore, they decided to start touring Europe and the US starting in 2006. Since then the band has played over 700 of the most crazy and fucked up gigs you can imagine. That's right, you don't just passively view a Monotonix show, you experience ...

05.11.10|Cults Release Free EP And Are Headed To Tucson|There's not a lot of information out there about New York's Cults, in fact the band doesn't even have a Myspace profile. While keeping information about the members behind a band shielded has certainly become a bit of a marketing gimmick lately, this band has recently released a three-song EP that's blazing a trail across the blog world. I wouldn't want to be one to miss the party, and certainly wouldn't want any of our readers to miss a chance to hear this band. They're doing one of the most authentic and best takes on the 60's girl-group sound that ...

04.13.10|Tickets still available for Yeasayer in Tucson|I've heard a lot of people who are quite depressed about not getting tickets to see Yeasayer play Thursday night at The Rhythm Room. While I must say I warned you this would sell out, I do still feel for everyone that missed out on getting tickets. So, I wanted to deliver some good news to those of you who want to see the band and are over the age of 21. I just got word that tickets to the Club Congress show in Tucson are still available. I can promise you this show will sell out before the doors ...

04.06.10|The Henry Clay People to release debut LP and play Tucson|The Henry Clay People is a band that is young but sounds like they've been around for a long time and absorbed a lot of influences. The band's members are around the ages of 22-23, but combine the best parts of The Hold Steady, Pavement, The Replacements, and early Built To Spill and end up creating some magic of their own. This is music meant to be heard loud and live with a beer and your friends as company. It's also music that doesn't quite sound like it could come from the neighborhood of Echo Park in the city of ...

03.24.10|The Dodos and The New Pornographers are coming to Tucson|Alright Tucson, you win yet again! You always seem to get the best exclusive shows, though we did get Phoenix that one time. Luckily for us broken-hearted Phoenix souls, you're only a short drive away. That makes me especially happy with the news I just got about this monster of a show on July 21st at The Rialto. The Dodos are going on tour again to support their spectacular album "Time To Die" that was released last September. Seeing that band play would be more than enough reason to drive to Tucson for me, but this show is so much ...
