Not sure when it happened, but Twin Shadow was added to the Warpaint/The Pains of Being Pure At Heart show at Congress on Wednesday. Also on the bill are PVT(formerly Pivot) and Catwalk. Tix are $10 in advance and $12 the day of the show.

I'm pissed because if that show was in Phoenix I would totally be there, but it's not, so I'm going to see Arcade Fire instead.

Dirty Vegas - May 3rd - Plush

oh nice, i might have to check this one out

[higgybaby23]

The Fleet Foxes show at the Rialto is selling out, maybe today. If you are going to go, get your tix now.

[higgybaby23]

The Loft will be showing Rubber starting tonight @ 10pm. It shows each night this week at that time.

In case you don't know anything about the film...
"Rubber is a 2010 French horror comedy film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers. It was directed and written by Quentin Dupieux."

In case you don't know who Quentin Dupieux is....
it's Mr. Oizo.

I will be seeing this sometime this week. Any other interested parties, hit me up.

Oh yeah, Mr. Oizo also did the soundtrack with some help from Gaspard from Justice.

[GuyInTucson]

Interesting...

[higgybaby23]

After the Fleet Foxes sellout, we now have an Atmosphere sellout. Less than 20 tix left according to the Rialto. Get em' before they're gone.

[chairmenmeow47]

people still care about dirty vegas?

i wish i could go to the atmosphere show.

[higgybaby23]

people still care about dirty vegas?

It's a $5 show. Plus, we just don't get many quality EDM acts in Tucson. Anything is better than seeing the local yokels again. I swear I'm the best DJ in this town...and I'm really not that good.

[higgybaby23]

Attending the Fleet Foxes show at the Rialto is the only legitimate excuse for not attending tonight's JUNIP show at Plush. No other excuses will be accepted.

Jose Gonzalez!!! Junip!! Plush!! Fucking go already!!!

Ticket purchased for Titus/Okkervil.

[higgybaby23]

Hey Faxy, are you aware of the opening of the film Circo at the Loft here in Tucson? There will be a special appearance and performance from Joey & John from Calexico as well as the director of the film.

Details here: http://www.loftcinema.com/node/2332

Not sure if I will be attending this or the Asobi Seksu show at Plush which is the same night.

[faxman75]

I will actually be in Vegas that weekend so I won't be attending. I'm on Calexico hiatus as well. Thanks for the heads up though and no I did not know about it.

[thewoodenman]

Is there anything fun to do out here tonight?

[JelloPuddingChat]

Ticket purchased for Titus/Okkervil.

I'm road tripping to this. Mainly for titus too. Just gotta book a motel.

N9NE Fest 2011

I love the bio on "Silver Medallion"

"Born out of the ugly depths of the Phoenix club scene comes the genre-bending gripping group Silver Medallion. ...

Lol

[higgybaby23]

If N9NE is more than $20, it's criminal.

Wait...what am I saying? The fiver is asking $50 plus fucking service charges. Steve Aoki played the Rialto for $30 a tix. Skrillex at the Rialto is $28. There must be an amazing market for shit EDM in AZ.

Why can't someone get Booka Shade to play in Arizona? Pretty please.

[Somewhat Damaged]

I was on the fence until I saw that the event's going to have the first ever foam countdown. Foam itself is awesome and all; I can only imagine how much more amazing it'll be when preceded by a countdown!

N9NE's early bird pricing is $20 for students $25 for general admission

We drew 5700 last year and are expecting 7500 this year

[NachoCat]

Lil Jon? LMAO

Seriously, Hes not even good at his own genre, let alone throwing down an electro DJ set.

Explosions in the Sky - September 1st - Rialto Theatre.

Yeah pretty nice considering the lineup is fucking terrible.

[faxman75]

I just booked a room at Hotel Congress for Okkervil/Titus. Should be a fun night. I expect to have many drinks before and during the show...

Nice, I am considering this show for sure. Crazy enough, it's been years since I have gone to a show at The Rialto.
