The Dork Side

Childhood and adolescence are absolutely overloaded with watershed moments: Your first kiss, the inevitable “birds and the bees” discussion with the ‘rents, and, of course, the first time you watch Star Wars. For local artist Nathan Nelson Ross, the pimpest moment of pre-adolescence came when he first saw the words,…

Fuse Fridays @ 910 Live

Just like Charlie Sheen’s career, the residents of Fuse Fridays will never say die. They’ve endured both lineup changes and venue changes and are still coming back for more. Led by DJ Mara and Disko Da, the Fuse crew will make their re-debut on Friday, March 25, at their new…

Bradford Whicker’s Beer Museum

fter finishing an ice-cold can of brew, standard operating procedure for most beer drinkers usually involves tossing it away, either over your shoulder or into the trash. (Of course, it you’re a manly man, it might also mean crushing that bad boy while unleashing an thunderous belch for added effect)…

Shadowplay

As his nom de guerre portends, DJ Manchester is an avowed Anglophile. He’s visited the U.K. on more than one occasion, hangs out at the George & Dragon in his off hours, and (naturally) is a ginormous fan of English rock musicians. Ask this 30something music junkie whom his favorite…

Monday Night Mania

Under normal circumstances, Monday night isn’t exactly a big evening for DJs and dance events (look no further than scant amount of listings we’ve got for proof). DJ Steel’s weekly Manic Monday session at the Crown Room in Scottsdale, might be a good place to hit up, as the spinster…

Boom Bap @ Hidden House

Let’s face it: Monday nights are downright dull. Not only are there four grueling days of work still ahead of, there’s also never anything good on the tube to help dull the pain. Thank heavens, then, for Tricky T, who’s helping turn Monday into a fun day again with his…

Pitta Party

The ‘90s were good to Mark Pitta. Not only did the San Francisco-based stand-up comedian host the Totally Hidden Video program on FOX; he also appeared on Jay Leno, guest starred on the sitcom Mad About You, and was all over the Comedy Central airwaves. So, did this snowball of…

Flesh for Fantasy

Although there are a few days left until the official arrival of spring, for all intents and purposes it feels like the season’s already sprung. Temperatures are rising, imaginations are racing, and creative juices are flowing. In other words, it’s the perfect time for the salacious shenanigans that will ensue…

Mope Floats

Charlie Silvercloud III is one gloomy Gus, but with good reason. The pessimistic protagonist of the 2006 indie flick Expiration Date is certain he’s destined to die in the same freaky fashion as his father and grandfather: getting struck by a milk truck on his 25th birthday. With only a…

Your Guide to Partying on St. Patrick’s Day

He measures around 3-foot-6, likes wearing quaint green outfits on Saint Patrick’s Day, and is a bit of a devilish trickster. Nope, we ain’t referring to the WWE’s Hornswoggle or even that evil lil’ bastard from the Leprechaun flicks, but rather Chuey the Rock ‘n’ Roll Midget. The 29-year-old lascivious…

Club Candids at Primebar

That includes upscale spot Primebar, which is where Club Candids visited this past weekend. Check out the pics from the experience in this week’s slideshow…

Phoenix Suns Destroyed By Denver Nuggets

Basket Cases

The chase is invariably better than the catch. For instance, the downtrodden Phoenix Suns are currently striving to make the upcoming NBA playoffs by any means necessary, despite the fact that they’ve dropped the ball most of this season. Even if Planet Orange somehow secures a postseason slot, chances are…

Brazil Nuts

Couldn’t summon enough scrilla to afford a plane ticket to Rio in time for this year’s Carnaval? Worry not, as DJ Seduce and his Afro:Baile crew will be offering all the frenetic festivities of the annual celebration (minus the colorful floats and bad behavior) during Carnival do Brazil. A multicultural…
