Sat., January 10, 8:00pm |
Central Phoenix |
|
Sure, we've got Americana up the wazoo in this dry-heated home state, but what about "Britannicana," Britpop-rooted music made in three-digit temperatures? Could it ever happen here? It has, mate, in the form of Eurovox, a classic mod three-piece band styled after the Jam and the Who but... More >> |

Johnny Rawls, & Blues Boy Willie Rhythm Room |
Mon., February 9 |
Central Phoenix |
|
There was a time when blues and R&B/black popular music were not so very far apart.

Ministry of Love PHiX |
Fri., January 9, 7:00pm |
Central Phoenix |
|
For a band not too far removed from high school, you'd think Ministry of Love might have paid more attention in English class.

The Music of Led Zeppelin - A Rock Symphony Dodge Theatre |
Sat., January 17, 8:00pm |
Central Phoenix |
|
From black lights, bong water, and wizards to natural breasts and hairy beavers, no band captured everything that was great about the 1970s like Led Zeppelin. Sadly, those days are over, and the chances of the band reuniting look about as good as John Bonham's bloated corpse.
Luckily, the... More >> |

South Scottsdale |

Like most hardcore musical gormandizers, weve got a few desert island discs (i.e. albums wed want in our possession if ever stranded on some abandoned atoll). The Dead Kennedys Frankenchrist is one. Perhaps surprisingly, so is The Ataris Blue Skies, Broken... More >> |
