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.
If Pete Doherty starred in the next three James Bond movies, he’d be the perfect incarnation of Italian garage-rock sextet Movie Star Junkies. Now, don’t get all ethnocentric, because these aren’t the Italians who groped your girlfriend at a club during her summer abroad. Rather, the Junkies – with their dashes of blues, hints of surf, and pinches of psychedelic punk – are love at first listen for fans of the Black Lips and King Khan, as well as for anyone who digs the kind of lo-fi rock ’n’ roll best achieved at the bottom of a tin can.
Phoenix’s über-lovely and talented Becky Lee opens.
