Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Local uber-producer Bob Hoag is owed a lot of favors in this town. The Atari-turned-knob-twister-turned-Love Me Nots Drummer has had half the bands in town come through his well-regarded Flying Blanket Studio in Mesa (even if the Black Cactus guys want no part of it) and routinely gets out-of-towners through.
What, you may be thinking, does a guy like Bob want out of life?
To be on Mad Men.
In a humble walk-on role.
That's it.
Surely we can make this happen, Phoenix?
As his business partner Chuckie Duff explains via e-mail, "the wardrobe department won't need to spend a dime on him."
Jackalope Ranch recently did a "What Are You Wearing" on Bob, so check that out.
