Whatever deity runs the universe — be it Yahweh, Ganesha, Mother Nature, or even the Flying Spaghetti Monster — we’re starting to wonder if they might have a beef with EDM festivals held at Big Surf in Tempe. Three years ago, during the first-ever Soundwave, it rained cats and dogs…
If you got it, flaunt it. That certainly seems the be the case at Wet Electric every year, as the EDM festival and ginormous pool party features hordes of the skinny, stylish, or bodacious bodies wearing revealing swimwear. Such was the scene during either of the two-day Wet Electric this…
It’s going to be a big weekend for DJ McBoy — and a very “electric” one at that. The 21-year-old is scheduled to perform at tonight’s Summer Electric party over at the Arizona Event Center in Mesa, followed by a gig on the local stage during the first day of…
