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.
William Fucking Reed is apparently hell-bent on monopolizing the weekends of the Valley’s hipster crowd.
He’s already the straw that stirs the drink during the exceedingly popular Friday-night mainstay Sticky Fingers, which draws trendy types by the hundreds to Bar Smith. And starting this weekend, Reed is launching another debaucherous dance night at The Rogue Bar, 423 North Scottsdale Road.
The infamous Scottsdale dive, which was home to his long-running weekly Shake!, will once again host a “motherfucking rock ‘n’ roll dance party” when he launches Rebel Yell on Saturday, July 7. Also described as a “nonstop punk rock cabaret,” the affair will feature many of Reed’s cohorts as resident DJs, such as Hoodwink, Queen Bitch, Adam Slade, and Ashley XOXO. Hosted by local fashionista Dani Dollhouse, the night will offer a musical milieu that include a mix of trashy rock ‘n’ roll variants, including punk, glam, metal, and garage, with some French pop and Britpop thrown in for good measure.
Naturally, there will be specials on PBR, as well as roaming photographers, giveaways, and plenty of drunken makeout sessions. The party starts at 10 p.m. Admission is $5. See www.rebelyellsucks.com.
