Tonight In Phoenix: The Morning Benders, Mini T's & The Delta Mirror OR Ten High Tuesday At Yucca

Oh shit this show is going to be huge! I can't even believe there are still tickets available. I would buy them online or get there super early, I doubt this won't sell out. I love hyperbole! But really it IS going to be pretty huge and probably will sell out. I don't think I have been to a Mini T's show that wasn't, add The Morning Benders and The Delta Mirror two of the blogbuzziest bands around and it's a recipe for a good time.

But if this just isn't your bag there IS an alternative... Yucca Tap Room has a pretty great lineup tonight that might float your boat. Mini Mansions, Matthew Reveles, DJ Babynose and Sister Cities, and it's free so that's good, and also Mini Mansions is the band of Queens of the Stoneage bass player Michael "Mikey Shoes" Shuman. If the other thing wasn't going on I would be here for sure.

Flying Blanket Party @ Martini Ranch 3/5/2010

If and when they make a movie called "The Worst" it HAS to star the spray on tan assholes that stood in everybody's way taking pictures of themselves looking like (and being) douchebags and whores rather than watching the show going on right in front of their faces... at my favorite Scottsdale AZ nightspot Martini Ranch this past Friday for the Flying Blanket Recording compilation CD release party. It has been a REALLY long time since I have been back to Martini Ranch and they have made a lot of changes, mostly to the stage and lighting. I am not gonna lie it's pretty fucking awesome, considering it used to just be a little triangle in the corner with some shitty French doors leading out to the patio area. But enough Martini Ranch talk... the show itself was pretty great. Any time you get MOST (Why no What Laura Says?) of the best bands in Phoenix together no matter where it's at you are pretty much guaranteed to a great night. That being said I won't bore you with a long ass review because if you even give a shit you were probably there and just want to see some pictures... so ughh here you go then, check them out after the break and a few more on our Flickr page HERE. Oh and all photos are courtesy of ElectricShots.com (That's me Shawn Anderson if you want to hire my ass or buy some pictures ;-)

Tonight In Scottsdale: Dear And The Headlights/Kinch/Black Carl/ The Love Me Nots/Gospel Claws

There is such a large/robust/intimidating amount of things going on tonight in The Valley it's really blowing my mind open like jar of Ragu on spaghetti night at the homeless shelter. So much do I might just have to stay at home and cry. We can go to the Flying Blanket Recording show at Martini Ranch featuring Kinch, Dear & the Headlights, The Love Me Nots, Black Carl, Gospel Claws and Sister Cities. Or we could go to the Compound Grill for some Dry River Yacht Club. ORRRR head downtown to Holgas to see Dearspeak with Fatigo and Thankful Birds for a free show that's part of First Friday. Oh shit it’s First Friday ANOTHER thing to add to the list that could take up your whole night all by itself!

What I am I going to do you ask, so you can avoid me probably. Well I am going to break my vow of never going to Marini Ranch ever again because it's going to be worth it. The last time I went there I saw a dude throw a bick through the back window of a Cadillac for taking up two spaces. Fingers crossed tonight it will be even MORE exciting!

As a side note we have a new commenting system that is pretty cool. You can reply to other peoples comments, up OR down vote, have avatars etc... We hope it will inspire some more "ElectricMustache Community Spirit" if you know what I mean.  I am also going to mention it in every post till people start leaving comments telling me to stop mentioning that people should leave comments.
