    Phoenix fans will not be able to witness Kanye and Gaga's latest tour, as it was canceled before it even started​ Well that was an interesting few weeks, now wasn't it? First it was announced that Phoenix's US Airways Center would be the first date (November 10) on the upcoming Fame Kills tour featuring co-headliners Kanye West and Lady Gaga. Today comes the news that the tour is no longer. Bad news for fans of both artists, all 5 of you. Also bad news for those hoping to masterfully dodge sec

In the past, parking your car in certain Phoenix neighborhoods overnight would more than likely make those hopes a reality. Unfortunately, things have changed here in the Valley, and the odds of having your car stolen have gone down substan

    ​Thankful Birds have had some cool posters in the past -- just check out this and this. Compared to those, actually, this is pretty tame. But, in a week of weak fliers this is distinctive enough to claim the prize for the jazzy Phoenix band. Looks like a pretty cool event at DBG, too.

But, whew! Turns out it's just cats. The bodies of the animals had been in the water so long that their species was no longer immediately recognizable. Cops believe they may have been drowned and are investigating.

  • Yo La Tengo at The Marquee

    ​It's been a pretty solid year to be a Yo La Tengo fan.  The Hoboken-based indie-rock institution (25 years and running) didn't just release one new album this year, they released two. Their latest, Popular Songs finds the band exploring their entire stylistic breadth, indulging in the orchestrated pop, Motown homages and plenty of anthems. The other, the slightly more provocatively titled Fuckbook, released earlier this year by their not-so-secret alter-egos Condo Fucks, is a sequel

    ​Band: The Green Lady Killers, an all-girl garage rock trio from Phoenix. Record: Just Fine LP. Basics: There are a bazillion garage rock grrl bands to compare these ladies to, any of which would undoubtedly raise hackles from someone citing some small difference between The GLKs and the other band. Let's just say they're a darker and less go-go-y Love Me Nots, or a a more stripped down Girl in a Coma.

    ​With Digestif being the latest in a line of popular Phoenix-area restaurants to close, we're not exactly holding our breaths as the ecomonic forecasters declare the recession over. But there are definitely a few good signs here in Phoenix, especially in the restaurant industry. New eateries are popping up all over town; some, so silently that you have to be "in the know" to know they're open.

Bryon Darby.​I make no bones about my feelings for the city of Phoenix: I love it.Sure, we certainly have our problems and while I believe such issues should always be addressed, as soon as the conversation turns to unproductive bashing on my home town, I get seriously T.O.'d. You may as well sling insults about my mother.So if there's an art show about Phoenix, I'm interested. And there just happens to be one at ASU, op

And I don't just mean that their anti-Semitism, outright racism and adoration of mass-murderer Adolf Hitler (you know, the guy that's always on the History Channel) is vile and reprehensible. No, I mean they're real bottom-feeders, even for neo-Nazis. For example, National

You'll have to read this week's Meal Ticket dining newsletter to find out. We'll also have info on a Phoenix restaurant that's the first in Arizona to pilot a new "wine on tap"

    ​There's absolutely no doubt that Smite is a definite rarity amongst P-Town's glutted DJ/dance community. First, there's the 31-year-old's absolute passion for vinyl that's second only to other record-loving freakazoids like his cohorts Djentrification and Johnny D. Serato ain't a word that's currently in Smite's vocabulary (although he admits he might have to eventually break down and buy a laptop and a copy of said scratching software). Then there's the fact he's something of an outsider to
