Concerts

“It’s a huge adjustment for me and my audiences, but I love it,” says the man behind the project.

It’s been a helluva month for live music in the Valley thus far. Two of the biggest festivals of the year are in the books, including the phenomenal Viva PHX this past weekend (check out our full recap of the night and everything that happened). All that said, there are…

More than the music, what Viva PHX brings to downtown Phoenix is buzz.

You would be hard-pressed to find a traveling musician who plays as many shows and as many towns these days as Jim Heath, of Reverend Horton Heat (RHH).  In fact, there are not too many saloons, night clubs, festival stages and places that he hasn’t liked, and even fewer he…

Don’t look now, but March madness is in full swing. No, we aren’t referring to the annual basketball tournament (although that’s getting going sometime soon), but rather to the fact that this month is practically wall-to-wall with big shows and can’t miss concerts. And believe us, the next few weeks…

When members of the band X came onto the music scene of the late ’70s, the world had already witnessed the punk rock insurgence cropping up in New York and London.

“They say don’t feed the trolls, don’t respond to them, don’t address it,” Arrington de Dionyso tells us on the phone while talking about This Saxophone Kills Fascists, his latest project. “But I’m an artist, I’m a musician with a higher profile. That tactic isn’t going to work for me.”…

On March 11 Viva PHX festival lands downtown. This year’s lineup includes five Psychedelic bands from Desert Daze festival. The bands formed a special Desert Daze caravan and are touring all around the west coast on their way to SXSW in Austin. The caravan includes Temples, Night Beats, Deap Vally,…

If you can’t make up your mind, here are four itineraries that will show off different parts of the Viva PHX lineup.

The band is playing Pot of Gold Music Festival.

The group has a knack for nailing what so many bands fail at.

There was lots to see over the weekend, and we saw all of it.

Stateside Presents has announced that former Fugees member Wyclef Jean, a.k.a. the guy Young Thug wrote a song about, has joined the Viva PHX  lineup. Get ready for some brand new jams from the rapper, who released an EP called J’ouvert in February. The songs are intended as a teaser…

Catch the band at Viva PHX next weekend.

Grouplove has always been thrown into situations they never saw coming, from impulsively forming the band while abroad, to nonstop touring, to now getting back on the road with a child in tow. It’s no wonder why their latest album aptly was named Big Mess. The band’s roots began when…

Everything you need to know about the festival, happening March 3-5.

Pop is okay!

Anthony Kiedis has a cough.

Contrary to what you may have read on the internet, LVL UP was not going to break up if they didn’t sign to Sub Pop. There is a difference between the truth and the legend, but the myth took off and gave the lo-fi rock band, with origins in Purchase,…

Watchu got going this weekend? Watching the Oscars perhaps? Getting outside to enjoy this nice stretch of weather? Great. Grand. Wonderful. If you’d rather check out a concert, we’ve got a few suggestions for you – seven of ’em, in fact. (And there even more waiting over in our online music…
