While Fall Out Boy goes on hiatus (thanks, Ashlee “Yoko” Simpson), singer/guitarist Patrick Stump is still busy. Besides crafting a solo album (on which he will play all the instruments himself) the lovable lug is also still promoting his 2008 independent film, Moustachette. Haven’t heard of it? It didn’t even…

Seriously, who would want to miss a Japanese musical group modeled after Devo? Not these peeps. Check out what people from around the Valley had to say about Polysics’ show at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix last night (and read our review here.) @MistressKitty @MistressKitty-WEEE!! Me with Fumi and Kayo…
Okay, this flier for Andrew Jackson Jihad at the Rogue Bar is a little disturbing (aren’t black birds supposed to be bad luck?), but it’s still fun since THERE’S A BIRD WEARING A CORSET! Seriously, how often do you see birds wearing corsets?! Not that often, my friend, and what better…
He may be a bar expert now, but David Needham, manager of Vista Lounge at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa, got his start as a culinary student at the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park in New York. Not that he didn’t always enjoy cocktails, though…
We often long for the days of sleepovers and scavenger hunts, where an army of pre-pubescent girls would descend upon the neighborhood clad in pajamas and carrying clues. Now, adults can get in on the fun, too, with the Scavenger Dash. The best part: you can still wear pajamas. Or…
Seems like Phoenix band The Attitude has found themselves in some controversy recently. The rock band is holding a benefit show on Thursday, February 4, for singer Jim Louvau, per the flier that’s displayed on the Clubhouse Music Venue’s website, but it doesn’t specify what the show is benefitting, exactly. A call…
As French rock band Phoenix played the Marquee Theatre in Tempe last night, much of the young crowd seemed to be glued to their iPhones…possibly Tweeting and Facebook status updating the show? Here’s what was said about the concert. (And read our review here.) @Claymoore- @Claymoore @taybaugh: Ok Sea Wolf…
If there’s any teeny bopper performer who really stands out for having musical chops these days, it’s Nick Jonas, the youngest JoBro–and also the cutest. The 17-year-old Virgo writes much of the Jonas Brothers’ music and is the bonafide leader of the group, sort of like the president of his…

It’s often too easy to just stay sitting at your desk for lunch or to grab a quick bite and chew while walking to class. With the launch of Lunch Unplugged at Civic Space Park, downtown Phoenicians have an excuse to actually relax during lunchtime, as acoustic performers play for…
When the Boulders Resort was trying to come up with a tasty drink to celebrate their 25th anniversary, the bar aimed to make it mighty loaded with alcohol, but smooth and simple enough to make it enjoyable to most drinkers. The Silver Sip was formed, and the Long Island Iced…
“You get a lot of requests for certain things that are illegal.” And no, they’re not alcohol-related, but we couldn’t get this friendly guy to go any farther. Maybe you can. Hecomovich got his start in the business in the 90’s, bartending at Fumbles, a now-defunct ASU spot. He got a…
Nope, it’s not promoting the classic 1987 Nintendo game Metroid–this flier of the week comes courtesy of Phoenix indie band Source Victoria, who is playing Yucca Tap Room this weekend. The group, who’s shared the stage with local favorites Jimmy Eat World and The Format, is gearing up to work…
When we read in Cosmo about the rise of hot lesbian smooches on TV, we felt a little annoyed. Why can’t we do our LBGT friends justice with media portrayals that aren’t limited to hot girls making out? You’ll see independent movies focusing on lesbian and gay characters who actually…
We know how expensive meals can get after you’ve downed a couple glasses of vino. All of a sudden, the hunger caused by the alcohol has caused you to eat five courses, and the bill is the last thing you want to see.Thankfully, for people like us who are looking…

This past weekend was my first time checking out The Rogue Bar in Scottsdale since it transitioned to a full-time music venue. I saw Crossing Sarnoff play Saturday night, and I was super-impressed with the stage location and lighting. It totally reminded me of Los Angeles’ The Viper Room, minus the…
