On Tap feat. DJ Senbad

A couple of signs you've made it big as a DJ: Not only is a major venue in town willing to supply you with serious bank to provide fresh beats, but it's also plastered a big effin' picture of your face on the wall. Such is the case with Sean...

A couple of signs you've made it big as a DJ: Not only is a major venue in town willing to supply you with serious bank to provide fresh beats, but it's also plastered a big effin' picture of your face on the wall. Such is the case with Sean Badger (a.k.a. Senbad), whose mixes fill the air each Friday at the courtyard beer garden at Lone Butte Casino, 1077 South Kyrene Road in Chandler, while his mug adorns a 35-foot-long banner at the gambling palace. The fame hasn't distracted Badger from doing what he does best, which is serving up progressive house, downtempo, and global soul while accompanied by percussionist Camillo Moreno and saxophonist Shea Marshall. The beats-and-brews fest starts at 9 p.m. and there's no cover. Call 800-946-4452.
