Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
Shows at the Yucca Tap Room are nearly always free, but rarely are they this eclectic. Tonight hip-hop, indie rock, world music, and blues are scheduled to be featured on the Tempe hotspot's stage.
Tonight sees the release of MOE'Z ART's The Beast. This hip-hop artist is Brooklyn-born, Paradise Valley-raised isn't short of witty observations and worldly beats, despite his 5'3" stature.
Also on the bill is DJ Treis spinning reggae, and Milo The Mayor, explained by a male fan as "a blend of hard rock and melodious, rough sex." Melodious rough sex? More like Radiohead with some classic breakdowns thrown in. And who could leave out the bluesy, punchy, locally loved rock of KONGOS? (Featured on yesterday's installment of the the Serene Dominic Show here at Up on the Sun.) It's a weird, mismatched show -- which is precisely why we think it's going to be a lot of fun. The music starts at 8 p.m.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
