Tonight In Phoenix: Past Lives|Extra Life|Servile Sect|Dead Times|Russian Arms & Optics

Pretty rad show on tap tonight at The Trunk Space... Past Lives whom you may have seen in the video above are headlining with Extra Life, Servile Sect, Dead Times and the band with one of my favorite names Russian Arms and Optics. It's only gonna cost you $5 to get in and their ain’t shit else going on tonight but even if there was you should go to this…

Um... on the other hand I DID just realize that it's St. Paddy's Day and there is in fact A LOT of things going on. How is that for investigative journalism? Some people might have just posted this without some research. I may not have started this research until I was halfway through but better late than never right? It’s because I care about you.

If you are in Tempe and don't want to deal with that Tempe Beach Park madness that I am sure you already know about why not head a little West and check out The Love Me Nots and Black Carl at The Sail Inn? OR…

You can head way up the the Compound Grill and check out Dearspeak.

If those options were not enough for you then you are selfish and really hard to please but alas there is a bunch of other shit too that you might just want to check out on yea old silverplatter

New Music Tuesday: Joanna Newsom, Xiu Xiu, Shearwater, Phantogram & Past Lives

Damn fine day to be a person that enjoys new music. Corncopia of albums I doubt you even have enough money to buy they all. I am not saying you are poor, just frugal. If you were only able to buy like 3 or 4 (because of alleged money problems) I would recommend Joanna Newsom's TRIPLE album Have One On Me, Xiu Xiu's Dear God, I Hate Myself, Shearwater's The Golden Archipelago, and Phantogram's Eyelid Movies.Now you are obviously an adult or at least a savvy enough child to be reading such a high class music blog so by all means click on some of the other albums below (after break) and check their sounds out on Amazons thoughtfully provided 30 second clips, and make some decisions for yourself for once in your life.

Past Lives Coming to Phoenix + New Album + MP3

Seattlests, Seattleons, Seattleits Past Lives have a new album coming out on Feb 23rd called Tapestry of Webs (track listing after the break) and in typical band fashion they are going on a tour to promote the album/entertain our stupid faces. They have magically decided that coming to Phoenix would be a "bitch'n move", so they are playing the Trunk Space on March 17th (rest of the dates after the break) just a few days before they head to Austin for SXSW. They have in addition to all of the wonderful things I have already told you provided a free mp3 file containing a music song for us to all enjoy at our leisure... It's called "Deep In The Valley" and as sexual as that sounds I don't think it is.
