Chandails, Little Teath, Finding Grandpa's Monsters, Pods, & more Trunk Space	Sat., November 21	Central Phoenix	Music
Listening to "Paper Bag," the scuzzy, shuffling opening track from Phoenix-based garage rockers The Chandails' forthcoming EP, it's easy to imagine a good-for-nothing street gang, maybe the "cholos performing satanic rituals while eating pozolé" described on the band's Web site. But the... More >>

Dierks Bentley Tempe Marketplace	Sat., November 21, 4:00pm	Tempe	Music
Dierks Bentley knows where his bread is buttered, which is why the country superstar’s upcoming benefit concert at Tempe Marketplace has a Harley-and-highway theme and not, say, a redecorate-your-loft theme. “Miles & Music for Kids” will offer fellow road warriors the opportunity... More >>

Pete Yorn Marquee Theatre	Sat., November 21, 7:00pm	Tempe	Music
You can’t blame Pete Yorn for wanting to cut an album with Scarlett Johansson. After all, the Match Point actress is freakin’ hot. Still, that doesn’t mitigate the fact that Yorn cut an album with Scarlett Johansson. What’s the big deal? Well, imagine if Michael Chabon... More >>

Whether it’s music, news or the arts, when you want the best round-up of everything going on in downtown Phoenix (and only downtown Phoenix) you go to CenPho.tv. But when you want to actually hear the best music from downtown Phoenix? Well, you go to the CenPho.tv One Year Anniversary... More >>

The Kickback Padre's Modern Mexican	Every week Sunday, 2:00pm	Central Phoenix	Music
How's this for a lazy Sunday-afternoon experience? Hang out with Power 98.3 personality Karlie Hustle and the hottie divas of the Fresh Fiends on the funky and laid-back patio of Padre's Modern Mexican Cuisine, 1044 East Camelback Road, while resident DJs M2 and Tricky T spin downtempo,... More >>

Steve Zimmerman and T.J. Jordan's used record emporium has proved to be a big hit since relocating to Roosevelt Street earlier this year, giving downtown Phoenix music buffs another spot to dig for vinyl treasures. The joint is getting that much cooler now that it's launching a weekly... More >>

DJ Tiësto Marquee Theatre	Sun., November 22, 6:30pm	Tempe	Music
Tiesto, the 35-year-old DJ/producer/electronica artist will hit the Valley this week, but he’s got plenty of backup. A trio of turntablists will support him, including Tranzit, Dada Life, and DJ Soloman. Visit www.luckymanonline.com for more info. More >>

The Haymarket Squares, Mancub and Wooden Indian, & more The Lost Leaf	Sun., November 22, 9:30pm	Central Phoenix	Music
The three members of this local act titled their album Punkgrass for the People, which is also a pretty accurate description for their sound: heavy on the rootsy/Americana influences and brimming with contentious socio-political lyrics about the evils of society. Get an earful when they play... More >>

Unique Force's Reggae Sundays feat. DJ Dark Vader, & guests Caribbean Fusion	Every week Sunday, 9:00pm	South Scottsdale	Music
The force is quite strong with DJ Dark Vader. While he doesn't wield a lightsaber or bomb around in a TIE Fighter (at least, not that we're aware of), the renowned mixmaster has spent the past few months making the East Valley a little bit more irie with his weekly Jamaican night at Caribbean... More >>

Yucca Tap's Open Mic Yucca Tap Room	Every week Monday, 8:00pm	Tempe	Music
What better way to start the workweek than to watch people get onstage and share their talent? Whether it's a longhaired hippie dude with a guitar doing a Simon & Garfunkel cover, a disgruntled college kid performing a spoken-word piece about the war in Iraq, or two inebriated girls just... More >>

Polka Dot Dot Dot, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Kids Day, From Our Lexicographers, & So Sorry Charlie Trunk Space	Tue., November 24, 7:00pm	Central Phoenix	Music
In a way it seems appropriate that the second full length album from Polka Dot Dot is entitled Syzygy, a term used to describe the alignment of three or more celestial bodies in the same gravitational system along a line. If you were feeling sufficiently poetic you could say that was the same... More >>

Hatebreed Marquee Theatre	Wed., November 25, 5:30pm	Tempe	Music
If Jamey Jasta, Hatebreed frontman and former host of MTV’s Headbangers Ball, ever gets sick of the music biz, the dude could probably make a decent living as a motivational speaker. Take the lyrics from “In Ashes They Shall Reap,” a song from his long-running hardcore... More >>

Groove Candy's Pre-Thanksgiving bash, PHX Nightclub	Wed., November 25, 9:00pm	Central Phoenix	Music

The Power 98.3 personality is reviving the event for one night only on Wednesday, November 25, in honor of Groove... More >>

DJ EPROM, Living Humans Being, & Issa The Rogue Bar	Fri., November 27, 9:00pm	South Scottsdale	Music
Most musicians incorporate the things they love most into their art. This may include significant others, cherished family members, or “big-booty hos” if you’re 2 Live Crew. Since becoming a DJ is the new “starting a band,” we’re guessing it works the same way with... More >>

First Blood Tour Clubhouse Music Venue	Fri., November 27, 6:00pm	Tempe	Music
Any act fronted by horror rocker Joseph Poole – better known as Wednesday 13 – may seem like the natural complement to Creepsville 666, a local punk metal outfit that fancies itself so dangerous that children should hide their album from the folks, but Poole’s latest project,... More >>

The Insects, & Dumpsterfoo Hollywood Alley	Sat., November 28, 9:00pm	Mesa	Music
Tempe DJ and rapper duo Foundation and Brad B have been on their grind in the Valley hip-hop scene for about a decade as part of the bigger black-sheep squadron known as the Drunken Immortals.

Outer Bounds of Sound Revolver Records	Every week Sunday from Sun., November 29 until Sun., December 20, 6:00pm-8:30pm more dates/times	Central Phoenix	Music
Do you wonder what planet you came from because you appreciate the heck out of Roscoe Mitchell’s Sound? Are you generally a low-key cat except for when you flip anytime you hear a prepared piano? Do you scour Italian and German Web sites for original-edition ESP and FMP Records? Then... More >>
