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.
Island BBQ. Tropical drinks. Pseudo-Tahitian dancers. Hey, we’re all for commodifying Polynesian culture in exchange for a night of gluttony and drunken depravity.

Adding to the ethno-syncretic pileup will be a killer surf-rock lineup featuring the Swamp Coolers, Surfside IV, Shrimp Chaperone, and Wolf Man and The Nards from Tucson. If you haven’t already reached saturation levels, you can feast your eyes on some live tiki-carving and lowbrow art while listening to a selection of vinyl exotica from MC Zippy, El Dedo, and D. Scott.
