¿Dónde está Dos Gringos? It certainly ain’t anywhere near ASU. At least not anymore, as the local chain of party-hard Mexican bars divested itself of its north Tempe location last year. The bar lives on, however, in the form of Trailer Park, 1001 East Eighth Street, with a slew of…
Few DJs in the Valley pimp themselves as hard as Tranzit. Every time the award-winning house mixmaster has an event to promote, my cell phone, Facebook, and e-mail seem to blow up with announcements aplenty from the dude. This week was no exception, as the 29-year-old has been promoting tonight’s…
Digital Summer has been on a major roll lately. Their latest album (Counting the Hours) is about to drop, the single “Run Away” is seemingly being played hourly on KUPD, and lead singer Kyle Winterstein claims the band is about sign a contract with In De Goot Entertainment (the company…

Every single one of these preening peacocks is hungry to be noticed or photographed, eager to grab onto to their 15 minutes of fame. So, yeah, there are a number of reality show casting calls staged every year in the ‘Dale. That includes the folks behind the ultra-popular sexploitation video…
“We can’t be satisfied in just winning game 1…U know the Spurs will be ready but so will we,” he tweeted. Although it took most of the first half for the Suns to get up to speed and fulfill Dudley’s prediction, Phoenix managed to bounce back from an early deficit…
It’s probably a safe bet that you’ve never encountered a turntablist as flamboyant as DJ Keoki. Just look at the dude’s ultra-colorful past: A veteran of NYC’s infamous “Club Kids” scene of the early ’90s (which inspired the 2003 film Party Monster), the self-described “superstar” rose to fame working such…
It’s been a helluva week for Jen Deveroux. The scenester princess and party promoter has been shadowed over the past few nights by a camera crew filming a documentary on the PHX club scene and she’s also participating in tonight’s FUSE Friday fiesta at Bar Smith. If that weren’t enough, Adult…

It really bums me out to report this, but it seems that downtown Phoenix music venue the PHiX has shut down. Owner Lee Berger sent an e-mail to New Times confirming its death, stating simply that “the PHiX is closed after a six-year run.”The Grand Avenue establishment (which was housed in…
With their predilection for couture coifs and garish fashion, it’s sometimes difficult to tell one hipster DJ apart from the rest. So it’s kinda telling that William Fucking Reed differentiates some of the residents for his new Sticky Fingers weekly not only by their names and music tastes, but also…
Of the dozens of adult cabarets and peepshows littering the Valley landscape, Diamond Jacks Gentlemans club is something of a diamond in the rough. This scintillating strippeteria stands out from its competitors (as well as the blighted stretch of University Drive it sits upon) due to its bevy of bodacious…
Dan Haren proved once again why he’s the anchor for the Arizona Diamondbacks squad last night as the ace pitcher struck out 10 batters during the team’s 5-3 victory over the Colorado. The right-hander got into some serious trouble early on, however, when Rockies leadoff man Carlos Gonzalez walloped a…

There’s just over five months until the Red Bull Thre3Style national finals go down in Denver, and Phoenix’s JR Phillips (a.k.a. D-JR) is probably gonna need all that time to perfect his turntable talents. The 26-year-old mixmaster bested six other P-town cats last month to earn a berth in the…

It’s said that the average lifespan of a new business is around three years or so. Too bad Howl at the Moon didn’t even make it to one.The Scottsdale location for the national piano bar chain closed sometime in the past few days after only being open for about six…
Now that’s more like it. Following a humiliating loss to Portland to kick off the NBA playoffs, the Phoenix Suns returned to their ass-kicking ways by manhandling the Trail Blazers for 48 straight minutes to decisively win Game Two 109-90 on Tuesday night at US Airways Center. The series is…
If comic book flicks have taught us anything, it’s that sequels can be a hit or miss proposition. Sure, Superman II, Spider-Man 2, and The Dark Knight were cool as hell, but they were in the minority when compared to such sorry second acts as Fantastic Four: Rise of the…
Back in the day, the only thing a DJ needed to rock the house was a couple of turntables a few dozen records, and some serious scratching skills. Nowadays, it’s de rigueur for wanna-be beatmixers to own a Macbook, a copy of Serato Scratch Live, and hundreds of MP3s downloaded…

Just in case you hadn’t glanced at a calendar lately, April 20 (a.k.a. 420) is this coming Tuesday, man, which means plenty of marijuana-related parties, music fests, and celebrations going on around Phoenix. As your pothead friends are likely to tell you (in-between mouthfuls of skunky smoke, that is), however,…
