| James Intveld Rhythm Room | Thu., August 21, 9:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Your Mama and Papa always told you to stay away from strange men, especially those who wore leather outfits in public. According to them, these strangers were prime qualifiers for the Neighborhood Watch’s registry of dubious citizens. Truth is, your parents were probably worthier of a... More >> |

| Lyme Lyte Thursdays feat. DJs Benjamin Cutswell, & Kid Vicious Lyte Lounge & Bistro | Every week Thursday, 10:00pm | Tempe | |
 Whenever we're out surveying some of the more ostentatious and showy nightspots that make up P-town's club scene, the lyrics from that Finger 11 song "Paralyzer" seem to roll through our heads. You know, the verse where Scott Anderson sings: "This club has got to be/The most pretentious... More >> |

 It’s going to be something of a busy weekend for DJ Seduce. The Valley’s mixmaster maestro of Bossa nova basslines and jazzy globe-trotting jams starts things off by heading up Afro:Baile’s “Summer Sessions” gig at Club Mardi Gras & VooDoo Lounge on Friday, August 22.... More >> |

| expansion :: fridays presents Jeremy Ellis Bar Smith | Fri., August 22, 9:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 A cover charge seems fairly reasonable for a live musical performance, but many of today’s dance nights provide zero visual stimulation. That is, unless someone in the crowd gets drunk enough to strip and/or vomit in the middle of the dance floor. So why would you pay someone to push play... More >> |

| GBH The Brickhouse | Fri., August 22, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 It's ironic that consistency, longevity, and predictability have come to be the hallmarks of "true punk," but that's where we are more than three decades after Johnny Rotten blew his nose all over things. As Jello Biafra recently sang, there's all these bands singing their "hits from the... More >> |

| 20 Years of Rock Party feat. Greenhaven, Pinky Tuscadero's White Knuckle Ass-Fuck, Page the Village Idiot, Chocolate Fountain, Bourbon Witch, & more Hollywood Alley | Sat., August 23, 8:00pm | Mesa | |
 It’s the summer of 1988 and the Valley’s music scene is ruled by such venues as Edsel’s Attic, the Sun Club, Long Wong’s, and the Mason Jar. Meanwhile, over in Mesa, an entrepreneur named Ross Wincek quietly opens the doors of his bar and grill, Hollywood Alley, 2610 West... More >> |

| Anal Cunt The Sets | Sat., August 23, 7:00pm | Tempe | |
 Anal Cunt has got to be the only “joke band” that’s still recording and touring 20 years after its tongue-in-cheek (and anywhere else you can imagine) genesis. Since playing its first show in the Newton, Massachusetts home of founder Seth Putnam’s mother, Anal Cunt has... More >> |

| Dave Matthews Band Cricket Wireless Pavilion | Sat., August 23, 7:30pm | West Phoenix | |
 Here are two situations you have probably found yourself in if (a) you have a penis and are/were (b) not in a fraternity:
#1: While at a friend's generally lame party (he just played Journey), you meet a girl who looks as bored as you. She's beautiful, and that smile! Before long, you discover... More >> |

| Boss Martians, Dead Eyes of London, Antique Scream, & Ninth Street Shakedown Hollywood Alley | Tue., August 26, 8:00pm | Mesa | |
 What do you call a pretty good surf band who suddenly drops the hodad act and discovers a gift for raw, catchy rock ’n’ roll tunes? The Boss Martians, that's who. Like any good power-pop band, the Seattle group is in touch with its record collections: Elvis Costello, the Who, the... More >> |

| Third World Tour The Brickhouse | Tue., August 26, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Before the medium ate the message, poet and rap precursor Gil Scott-Heron forewarned that the revolution would not be televised. When the tides turn, Immortal Technique will be there to provide color commentary between lobs of Molotov cocktails.
The Peruvian-born, Harlem-raised fire-breather... More >> |

| Music Under Totalitarian Regime Temple Chai | Wed., August 27, 7:00pm | North Phoenix | |
 The best music has often been created under the most oppressive conditions. Slave spirituals in the 1800s. Martha and the Vandellas’ Civil Rights Era rallying cry “Dancing in the Streets.” The compositions by Schoenberg, Stravinsky, and many others during the Third Reich.

| Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers Wrigley Mansion | Thu., August 28, 8:00pm | East Phoenix | |
 But for being born white, San Francisco chanteuse Lavay Smith might be the latter-day Billie Holiday. Smith has Lady Day’s throaty purr, though it might be more appropriate to say that Smith has Holiday’s purr down. Smith, see, is a natural-born self-promoter whose business is... More >> |

| Coke White Tour feat. Andre Nickatina, Intrinzic, 480 Underground, Herb N Life, & Strictly Business Marquee Theatre | Fri., August 29, 6:30pm | Tempe | |
 Drinking. Drugging. Thugging. Odes to these will be legion when Bay Area underground rapper Andre Nickatina brings his subtly named Coke White Tour to Marquee Theatre.
As he has throughout his nearly 20-year recording career -- as well as on his new CD, A Tale of Two Andres -- Nickatina... More >> |

| Hi My Name is Ryan feat. Ryan Avery Trunk Space | Sat., August 30, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Fan or hater, you've kept tabs on Ryan Avery. If you weren't already up on his exploits, then the New Times cover story piqued your interest (“Hi, My Name Is Ryan,” August 3, 2006, Benjamin Leatherman). Then you heard about Paul Eagleston and Stephen Rose's documentary Hi My Name Is... More >> |

| Silverio feat, Maria Daniela y su Sonido Lasser, Devon Disaster, DJ Ponediscos, & DJ Kevin M.O.B Tio Leo's Mexican Grill and Cantina | Sat., August 30, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Hey, gringos, look what you’ve been missing. Namely, Silverio, a south-of-the-border sensation who will seduce all five of your senses with a wink of his eye and a thrust of his pelvis. The Mexican love child of Peaches and Günther (you know, the gold lamé-loving Swedish sex... More >> |

| Eye Alaska feat. The Dear Hunter, & Lydia Chyro Arts Venue | Mon., September 1 | South Scottsdale | |
 Brandon Wronski, frontman for the band Eye Alaska, characterizes his group’s sound as “genre-less.” It’s an appropriate description given that the foursome sounds very little like its stable mates on Fearless Records or the majority of its peers from Orange County,... More >> |

| One O'Clock Shirtless Shots Monkey Pants Bar & Grill | Daily | Tempe | |
 Been to the gym this summer? Make it pay off during One O'Clock Shirtless Shots, where you'll get a penny shot for exposing yourself from the waist up. Bring on the sweaty armpits, chest hair, or whatever your naked torso has going for itself. The naughtiness happens every night at 1 a.m. at... More >> |

| Busty Boobs & Thong Contest Margarita Rocks | Every week Thursday, 9:00pm | Tempe | |
 If we had the self-awareness 18 years ago that we have now, we would have dropped more blouses at wet T-shirt contests. Alas, we were young and foolish, and had no real inkling of the limited shelf life of perky hooters.
Life may be over for us, but still-bouncy ladies have a chance to get it... More >> |

| Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days Castles -n- Coasters | Daily from Thu., July 3 until Mon., September 1 | North Phoenix | |
 The Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days promotion is a smoking deal -- if you don’t spontaneously combust. We’re just tossin’ out a caveat emptor, ’cause you should know up front that your $15 buys unlimited rides on the theme park’s attractions, plus a free round of... More >> |

| Suavecito Fridays Sonoma Casual Dining | Every week Friday, 8:00pm-2:00am | Avondale | |
 We're what you'd call "white." Our Mexican ex-boyfriend has confirmed this many times, despite our challenges to the contrary. "But look right here," we'd say, "this spot is kind of brown!" He would just laugh and direct his gaze in a more southwesterly direction.
Now we can really compare... More >> |

| Night Splash Waterworld Safari | Every week Saturday from Sat., June 28 until Sat., August 30, 7:00pm-11:00pm | Glendale | |
 It's pretty obvious when summer’s come to town. Just look at the children. They've spent about a million hours reenacting The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo in the backyard pool, so their hair is completely bleached out and their eyes are all bloodshot. Instead of looking like Disney... More >> |

| Reggae Sundays PHX Nightclub | Every week Sunday, 9:00pm-2:00am | Central Phoenix | |
 For many of you, the last time you heard reggae was when you toked up some shitty pot in your first Tempe apartment as an undergrad. You and your buddies wasted the afternoon away while wearing ASU T-shirts and Umbros, eating Gus’ pizza, and listening to your sweet three-disc CD changer... More >> |

| Sunday Funday @ Dos Gringos Mesa Dos Gringos Mesa Mexigrill | Every week Sunday, 11:00am-12:00am | Mesa | |
 Our Sunday activities of late have been a bit repetitive. Get up early, maybe head to church. Then hit up the local Olive Garden for the seventh week in a row, followed by a dip in the pool that feels more like a hot tub right now. No wonder we feel blah come Monday morning.
A mundane plan... More >> |

| 1960s Drinks at 1960s Prices feat. DJ Juke Joint Jimmy Chez Nous | Every week Monday, 7:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Somewhere between Middle Ages Germany and now, we managed to transform a simple word for flying through the air on a rope (swanken) into a bebop-and-scat subculture whose adherents strut around mouthing hepcat jive and snapping their fingers a lot. But hey, it’s cool. It’s swank, baby... More >> |
