Beer, barbecue and a gang of good friends are all you need to make the most of Independence Day. But while you might find all of that in your own backyard, there's one thing that your boom box can't compete with: live bands. Join the punk-rock picnic at Ziggy's, where you can salute some of the Valley's best acts -- Greenhaven, Smoky Mountain Skullbusters, Pinky Tuscadero's WKAF, Casket Life, Bullet Train to Moscow, Schlitzkrieg, and Big Vinny. Then later in the evening, you're just a few blocks away from the big Tempe Town Lake fireworks display. It'll be a blast.
