DJ Quik Venue of Scottsdale Fri., September 5, 8:00pm Central Scottsdale
There’s a reason we don’t hear too much anymore about ’80s rappers like Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, and EPMD. It’s because the music outgrew their particular rapping style. Shut, it’s not even called rap no mo’, you dig? DJ Quik, who got his start in 1987, is... More >>

You might’ve seen DJ Dino (a.k.a. Denard Webb) rocking the decks with dirty electro tracks last weekend at the Lovestruck party in downtown Phoenix. Or perhaps when he was doing the same back in July at the Dark Knight, or at any of the dozens of other local raves this talented cat has... More >>

Ceramicists always wonder why they’re left in the dust while painters and sculptors get the glory. Let’s face it, clay boy, no one’s gonna care about your pot unless they can smoke it. Maybe that’s why Midwestern artists Teri Frame, Alex Hibbitt, and Liz Zacher decided to... More >>
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition” Arizona Science Center Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm Central Phoenix
We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience." So trust it to late capitalism to concoct such a... More >>

Dearly Departed Chyro Arts Venue Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., August 21 until Sat., September 6, 8:00pm South Scottsdale
Reading the press release for Dearly Departed, a play in the first week of its run at Chyro Arts Venue, comparisons to William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying are inevitable. However, instead of hicks transporting a corpse in a pine-box coffin, the David Bottrell/Jesse Jones comedy follows the... More >>
Los Illegals John Paul Theatre Fri., September 5, 8:00pm
more dates/times
Central Phoenix
A local day-labor center is about to close, bowing to the pressures of anti-immigration advocates. The immigrants who rely on the center for their crummy incomes fight to keep the facility open. When one of the workers gets arrested, all hell breaks loose. Sound plausible? Los Illegals is a... More >>
The All Night Strut! Playhouse on the Park Fri., September 5, 8:00pm
more dates/times
Central Phoenix
The economy blows. There are foreclosures on every block, big-name chains are filing for bankruptcy, and a tank of gas costs more than a week’s worth of groceries. Hell, even local art galleries and theaters are downsizing just to stay afloat. When faced with rising costs, Phoenix’s... More >>
The Rocky Horror Show presented by Nearly Naked Theatre Phoenix Theatre's Little Theatre Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 15 until Sat., September 13 Central Phoenix
There’s a lyric from one of the Richard O’Brien tunes in his intergalactically famous The Rocky Horror Show that goes, “It was great when it all began/I was a regular Frankie fan.” It’s a lyric that has proven more true than the then-starving young playwright could have... More >>
Arizona Duck (DUKW) Tour Pleasant Harbor Marina at Lake Pleasant Daily, 10:00am
more dates/times
Peoria
Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >>
"Branded and on Display" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 14 until Sun., September 21 Central Scottsdale
It’s gotten so we don’t even see them, the carefully placed product endorsements that are part of everyday life. On an episode of American Idol, Simon Cowell raises to his lips a monstrous neon tumbler emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo, and what we see is a man taking a drink. Our... More >>

Happy Hour Golf Karsten Golf Course Every week Wednesday, Friday from Fri., July 11 until Fri., September 19, 2:00pm-6:00pm Tempe
If you’re a golfer, summer’s either the greatest thing since sliced bread or an involuntary exile from the links. If you’re poor, it’s probably the bread, ’cause you don’t have to spend as much of the doughy stuff to get in your 18. Many of the power resorts... More >>
"Legally Happy" Olney Gallery Daily from Tue., September 2 until Tue., September 30 Central Phoenix
As children, we’re filled with creativity. Then real life drowns the butterflies and rainbows in a festering sea of debt, responsibilities, and mind-numbing labor. Some adults choose to deal by popping pills or shooting smack. Siberian artist Natasha Matveenkova has sidestepped the... More >>
Night Gallery Tempe Marketplace Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 6:00pm-9:00pm Tempe
Commodification of art is nothing new (we especially like those Hello Kitty vibrators), but a respectable art gallery slumming in a mall is right up there with Walmarts on sacred burial grounds, even if it’s exactly the kind of "social embeddedness" that Joe Baker, ASU's Director of... More >>
"No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" Phoenix Art Museum Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 14 Central Phoenix

Come on, now -- you don't print photos. Hence the "Wanna see my boyfriend? Come look at my phone" phenomenon. Tilt Gallery compensates for us flakes, showcasing the finest photography in its cozy jewel box of a space. Though historic and alternative processes (a.k.a. not Walgreens) are... More >>
Salt River Tubing & Recreation Salt River Tubing & Recreation Daily from Sat., May 3 until Tue., September 30, 9:00am-7:00pm Mesa
Rednecks tend to be attracted to large bodies of water. Don’t believe us? How else to explain the “Redneck Riviera” spanning the area from Mobile, Alabama, to the Emerald Coast near Apalachicola, Florida? Though we live in the desert, that doesn’t mean our state is running... More >>
Suavecito Fridays Sonoma Casual Dining Every week Friday, 8:00pm-2:00am Avondale
We're what you'd call "white." Our Mexican ex-boyfriend has confirmed this many times, despite our challenges to the contrary. "But look right here," we'd say, "this spot is kind of brown!" He would just laugh and direct his gaze in a more southwesterly direction. Now we can really compare... More >>
