Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.

So there’s a little big of a letdown this week after last week’s bonanza of concert announcements, but still a few good shows coming up.
At the top of the list is a huge party coming to Marquee: Parliament Funkadelic with George Clinton on Jan. 7. Sadly, Dr. Funkenstein, no longer emerges from the Mothership, as that expensive part of the stage show was scrapped in the 90s, thus depriving us of what might be called The Awesome Power of a Fully Operational Mothership, but it’s still quite a show.
Here’s my favorite ever appearance of the Mothership, in Dre’s “Let me Ride” video (3:40 in) and the rest of your show announcements.
