08.17.11Them Jeans Is Coming To Tucson For A Free ShowNow that school is back in session, it's time for the party season to kick into high gear in downtown Tucson. Luckily the fine folks at Opti Clubbin and Bang Bang have the perfect night lined up for all the co-eds to try to grind all over each other at. The party promoters are teaming up to bring LA's Them Jeans to Club Congress for a free party on September 3rd. That's right, as long as you're 21 and don't smell like you haven't showered in a month, you're getting into this party totally free. This doesn't give you liability ...

02.16.11MP3: Star Slinger – Casanova’s Jump OffAs we celebrate Dilla Month, I'd like to take a moment to post a new track from a producer that I feel is one of the best following in his footsteps. The influence just drips through on every track Star Slinger does. Now, that doesn't mean he's just biting a style and doesn't stand on his own. On the contrary, he's actually one of the freshest and most exciting beat-makers in the game right now. I drove down to Tucson to see this cat open for Baths a few weeks back, only to find out he canceled due to VISA ...

02.16.11MP3: Wavves – TV Luv SongAt this point everyone knows Wavves, and everyone has an opinion on them. Love them or hate them, you've at least gotta respect their tireless devotion to creating and releasing new music. Especially when the music is released for free via their Twitter. Also, when accompanied by some fantastic artwork like what's seen above. If you like this one, keep an eye out as they'll be releasing a few more free tracks this week. Hopefully they'll be back to Phoenix soon. MP3: Wavves - TV Luv Song

01.19.11Scion Rock Fest Will Kick Your Face InDo you like metal, specifically of the thrash variety? Well, if you answered yes, then I know you're already drooling all over your keyboard looking at that flier up above. You can say whatever you like about Scion's persistent marketing towards the youth market, but I can't hate on anyone that continuously throws awesome fests for free. Look at that fucking lineup! I'd suggest you do what I plan on doing and get some friends together for a drive to Pomona to catch this fest. Scion also does an awesome garage-rock festival in Portland every year. I'll make sure to ...

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 ...

08.11.10|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 ...

05.18.10|A-Trak Releases Dirty South Dance 2 For Free Download|One of the world's best DJs is back with another mixtape to make your pool parties a little more entertaining this summer. The superstar producer dropped the first edition of "Dirty South Dance" back in 2007 and it still gets regular rotation for me. The combination of disco and house beats with southern rap verses over it was definitely ahead of it's time, as this sound is all over the pop music world right now. Three quick years later and volume two was released yesterday. The mixtape is available for free download in a variety of formats. Just like the first ...

04.12.10|Get Down! To Brass Tacks tour kick-off|Get Down! To Brass Tacks are longtime friends and one of my favorite local bands, so I was more than happy to accept when they asked me to come out of DJ retirement and play a set at their tour kick-off show on Friday. They're about to embark on a 10-day tour of the west coast along with The Syndicate from San Diego, and celebration is in order. The show is happening at the newly reopened Long Wong's. This will be the first chance I get to check out the venue since its return. I am pretty excited to have ...

04.12.10|Black Carl offers “Borrowed” for free download|Black Carl is a band that has seen their stock in the local music scene rise significantly over the past year. It has become a normal occurrence to see this band opening for big acts that come through town, as well as headlining bills of local bands at venues all around town. This is mostly due to the versatile and strong lead vocals from Emma Pew, but Ian Woodward's bass playing really does it for me as well. The band's spin on modern funk and soul will leave few people standing still and you wont find another band like them ...

04.09.10|The Adult Swim Block Party comes to Tempe, performances by Murs and DJ Epidemic|Adult Swim is bringing the ultimate block party to Tempe next Wednesday and inviting everyone (older than 21 of course) to attend for free. Tempe is one of the 10 lucky cities that are getting a visit from the Adult Swim Block Party tour that will feature different musicians at each stop along the way, along with a variety of other entertainment. Tempe's date on the tour will have one of my favorite rappers, Murs, doing his thing live along with one of Arizona's best DJs, DJ Epidemic, spinning some records for all you beautiful boys and girls. This is going ...
