Here are four local hookups we wouldn’t mind seeing.
Snake! Snake! Snakes! and Sister Cities
Arena anthem rockers meet brooding dream weavers for a pop spectacle that could leave you weeping.
The Love Me Nots and The Green Lady Killers
Former New Times music editor Martin Cizmar once called GLK “a darker and less go-go-y Love Me Nots.” Combine Nicole Laurenne’s cool crooning with Lady Van Buren’s gritty growls and it’s a guaranteed eargasm.
Mouse Powell and FACES
The yin-yang of Arizona’s hip-hop scene. Slick rhymes versus angry aggressive verses.
Factories and Super Stereo
Synth-pop done by some of the Valley’s best sound manipulators.
