You Asked For It: Green Lady Killers
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.
October 20, 2009Meal Ticket: New Biltmore Restaurant Tiptoes into Town
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. In this week's Meal Ticket dining newsletter, we've got the scoop on a new Biltmore r

"Seventy Flights in Ninety Minutes, Looking West From Hayden Butte" by D. 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

Will Phoenix ignore the NSM goon squad November 7?Let's not mince labels, here: The neo-Nazi National Socialist Movement members who'll be rallying at the state Capitol this coming Saturday afternoon are lowlife degenerates. 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

November 4, 2009Your Ticket to Wine on Tap and Chicago-style Eats
Phoenix is known as a home of transplants, with much of its population having relocated from elsewhere in the country (or in the world). But if you're a Chicago native or an East Coaster, you'll feel right at home in a Glendale restaurant that specializes in Philly cheese steaks and Chicago-style dogs. Which one? 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"

"El Viaje (Coyote)" by Hector Ruiz & DOSENow, Arty Girl doesn't usually like to double dip on covering art events. This time around, however, we've got two artists, two gallery locations and two receptions. So it seems only appropriate that there would be two blips of coverage on the Phoenix New Times radar.Yep, the exhibition, "colLABORation" certainly has a dual nature.

November 5, 2009DJ Dossier: Smite
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

What gives? Sometimes it's outside of the artists' contol -- they can't fit in the city due to venue constraints, or perhaps Phoenix is unfortunately less important a market than surrounding cities such as Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Maybe the heat scares artists away. Or m
