04.05.10|Steve Aoki returns to Arizona|April 15th might go down as the busiest night of the year in Arizona. There's already a complete overload of shows and Aziz Ansari coming to town to do some stand-up, but yet another destination to be has been added for the night. That's right, Steve Aoki will be returning to Arizona once again to lay down another one of his hype-swallowing sets. Now I'm not going to be lazy like a lot of writers that cover music and start talking about how Steve is "the leader of the hipsters" or any such nonsense. However, I will say it's been ...

If you're really lucky, you've also seen him do standup on his recently released DVD/CD "Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening".

02.10.10|Sleepy Sun is coming to town, opening for Arctic Monkeys|Our friends and fellow local bloggers over at Electric Mustache recently delivered the news that the Arctic Monkeys would be coming to the Marquee on April 15th. However, they failed to mention what I believe to be the most exciting news about that show. Sleepy Sun is opening! The psych-rock band from San Francisco released their debut album "Embrace" on ATP Records last year and their hazey sounds have been lodging themselves permanently in my brain ever since. They feel strangely more authentic and heavy than 99% of the bands out there trying to resurrect a time period they never ...
