2011 Phoenix Concert Preview

2010 was a great year for live music in Phoenix. I crossed a bunch of bands of my bucket list (I have never seen that movie) like Gorillaz, Snoop Dogg, Slayer, Wu Tang, The National, Vampire Weekend and saw a ton of other great shows. But that was as they say, so last year. It's time to look towards the future. Here is a pretty giant list of everything good that has been announced so far. Click on the "date/time " links to get your tickets and please drive safely.

Sorry charlies that this took so long to get up but I was busy having my legs extended for your pleasure. If you missed the Little Dragon show the other night you missed out on something awesome. I believe I have shared my love of Black Carl with y'all before but seeing them at The Rhythm Room is even better than Modified Arts. Little Dragon didn't disappoint the pretty large crowd that came to see them, myself included. Check out some photos after the break and a few more on our Flickr page HERE

New Music Tuesday: The King Khan &BBQ Show, Julian Casablancas, Little Dragon and Morissey

Today is a fair to moderate day of new releases. The standout for me is The King Khan & BBQ Show (who are coming to Phoenix in a couple of weeks). I have only heard a couple of songs of the The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas' new and first solo effort but I dig them in a 80's nostalgic sort of way. The Nirvana live album with be good I am sure but just as good as any other Nirvana live album so unless you are a weird completest or something just listen to the Muddy Banks album you (or your dad) already bought back in 1996. And if you are a real glutton for punishment and want to know what is sounds like when your former heroes disappoint you beyond forgiveness check out Weezer's new collection of ridiculousness Raditude!

mp3: Little Dragon "Feather"

Sweden is at it again with another most excellent export called Little Dragon. They have a new album out on Sept 8th called Machine Dreams and the first single (are they still called singles?) is "Feather" and it's effing awesome. So kick your feet up on your Ikea coffee table or desk and chillax to this song for a few.
