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.
Local pretty boy rockers Anarbor will just one of the acts on this year’s Take Action! Tour. It’s put together by Anarbor’s emo-pop-rock label, Hopeless Records, through their non profit organization, Sub City, and also features Meg & Dia, Breathe Carolina, Every Avenue. It’s the eighth year, for the tour, which donates money to youth-oriented charities.
Jimmy Eat World, Coheed and Cambria, Le Tigre and The Promise Ring played the first tour in 2002, but it’s been downhill since then. In 2005, Gym Class Heroes and Plain White T’s did played cementing, at least, so they have a pretty decent track record of identifying bands that will go on to short-term success with teens.
