General Phoenix Area Shows

[Timestretch]

Both Lower Dens and The Men were great last night. I wasnt at all familiar with Lower Dens and was pleasantly surprised, they had good energy and put on a very trippy almost psychedelic set. I also really enjoyed No Joy. I really hate Sail Inn though. The mixture of the venue and lack of crowd energy put a damper on an otherwise excellent show.

Also thought this was a great show.The inside/outside setup gave it a little festival vibe since it seems they combined the two different shows. I caught the last half of Destruction Unit. Definitely worth seeing again. The Men were so good!

Daedelus is opening for Yeasayer. Pretty rad.

Janes Addiction at the fair. Lulzy.

[faxman75]

Meh....maybe Weezer and only because the fair is walking distance from where I live and it's free with the admission price.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Who are those people?

[Timestretch]

I just saw the Beach Boys are playing Saturday at Grand Canyon University. I had no idea. Tickets are between $50-120.

[chairmenmeow47]

the fair would make so much more money if they just brought the gap band and debbie deb every year.

[westcoastpirate]

I saw a post from silverplatter that Ghostface is playing Club Red on Thursday August 23rd. Where do they hold Club Red now, and how much will tickets be for this? I haven't gone to Club Red since it was at Hollywood Alley.

Planet Asia is opening too. I'm going to go to this

[westcoastpirate]

Is anyone going to Aesop Rock at Marquee Theatre on Tuesday August 14th? I'm digging the new album, a lot so I'm considering going.

[bucketofpower]

Scott Weiland @ Toby Keith's on 7.22

Starfucker - November 7th - Crescent Ballroom

[faxman75]

I will probably be purchasing tickets to Frank Turner, Amanda Palmer and one of the Calexico shows at the Crescent Ballroom soon.

[captncrzy]

ONLY ONE?

[Somewhat Damaged]

If the fall concert calendar weren't already so packed, I'd be interested in the Calexico show that the Dodos are opening, but alas...

[faxman75]

ONLY ONE?

I think? I haven't seen them in quite a while and it's so close to home I might end up going to both. We'll have to see when the time comes. They play pretty long sets as it is.

I have a lot of shows already. Talib Kweli, Fiona Apple, Metric and Swans. Plus outside lands in a few weeks. Wilco in Tucson and at the Hollywood Bowl and Peter Gabriel @ the Hollywood Bowl.

Starfucker - November 7th - Crescent Ballroom

Last year I celebrated my birthday with M83 at the Crescent, looks like this year I will be surging to STRFKR on my birthday!

Tycho/the Album Leaf - September 2nd - Crescent Ballroom.


Ohhh man.

[Somewhat Damaged]

A couple of you who went to Sasquatch raved about Tycho's performance. Got an album to recommend listening to? He does electronic music, yeah? Is he a DJ or does he perform using Ableton/something similar/with a band?

[Gribbz]

Listen to Dive. It's one guy, but he plays with a full band. Awesome, complimentary visuals too. I'm going to bail on FYF if another great festival act gets booked in Arizona.

EDIT* Fikus did a write-up a while back:

Tycho is the music project of San Francisco artist and producer Scott Hansen. As Tycho, Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon.



Known in the design world as ISO50, Hansen is famed for his bucolic, sun-drenched design style, which serves as a backdrop and mirror for his musical output.



Hansen began his electronic-music career with 2002’s The Science of Patterns EP , which was followed in 2004 by his first full length, Sunrise Projector. The critical acclaim continued in 2006 with the release of Past Is Prologue on Miami-based IDM imprint Merck records. Ghostly International met Scott Hansen in 2007, and like everybody else, simply had to work with him.



In 2008, Tycho received a nod as one of URB magazine’s “Next 100” artists to watch. Since 2007, Tycho, with great care, released sun-drenched, melodic singles for the 3 years, honing his sound and collaborating with even more live instrumentation. In 2011, his meticulous process sees the release of Dive. The wait has been well worth it.

Tycho is my favorite IDM producer/performer. I also have several of his shirts and posters. I've seen him live 7 times and each show is better than the last. Check him out, you will not be disappointed.
