Tonight In Phoenix: Lost Leaf 3rd Bday Party | Brilliant Colors @ Trunk Space

A couple pretty good options tonight, you might even be able to hit up both the Brilliant Colors show at The Trunk Space at 7:30 in between the bands playing at The Lost Leaf for their 3rd birthday party (they should be potty trained by now right?). The Lost Leaf starts at 4pm and goes till 12:45, but I doubt things will run so smoothly, I am guessing it will be over at 2am. But I am a pessimist and a jerk, two great qualities every blogger strives for.

Check out the Lost Leaf band schedule AND a Brilliant Colors video after the break... don't drink and drive ya'll! Be sure stay really far away from The Marquee, don't want to accidentally hear any Angels and Airwaves by accident. I think The Lost Leaf is just far enough ;-)

PHOTOS: COATS & VILLA / BOYS AND FROGS / SOFT DRINK / LAARKS : 3/02/2010

Henry J. Kaiser once said, "When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.” I think these photographs simply say, "the show was brilliant" and if they don't, let me tell you that the show was brilliant.

Boys and Frogs celebrated their one year anniversary.They're probably the best one year olds I know and I'm not just saying that because they provided FREE CAKE, which is debatably the BEST.THING.EVER.

What I'm really trying to say is that all of the bands did a good job and it's a shame that more people weren't there to enjoy the sounds.

Listen To This: Coats and Villa

In an effort to bring you the best local music around we spend a lot of time on Myspace looking for new and good music. To be honest, this isn't always a lot of fun. There are some really good bands that come from Phoenix, but there are also a lot of really bad ones, too. But every once in a while we come across a band that makes the effort worthwhile.

Wayne Coats and Nicholas Villa make up the band Coats and Villa and have recently completed work on their debut album Make A Record. The album was just released back in April via Mazlin Art Entertainment and is available for purchase on iTunes. Take a listen to two tracks from the new album, "Everybody Wants You" and "Runaway".


Coats and Villa - "Everybody Wants You"

Coats and Villa - "Runaway"
