| Cat Power Marquee Theatre | Tue., October 7, 7:00pm | Tempe | |
 Cat Power kicks off her new CD, Jukebox, with a remake of John Kander & Fred Ebb’s standard "Theme from New York, New York,” but given the track’s sultry, Stax-y R&B makeover and coolly rumbling keyboards, perhaps she should call her version “Memphis, Memphis.” She... More >> |

| Nick Lowe Rhythm Room | Tue., October 7, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Recognized for producing of some of the greatest records of the punk era (Elvis Costello, The Damned, the Pretenders), it’s his own records where Nick Lowe left the most indelible mark. Witness Yep-Roc’s recent 30-year anniversary edition of Pure Pop for Now People. In 1978, dressing... More >> |

 Bizarre-o New Orleans solo musician Robert Rolston, a.k.a. Quintron, is known for pumping out “swamp tech” dance tunes via custom-made instruments, such as a Hammond organ/Fender Rhodes synth combo and a Drum Buddy. For his current tour, Quintron has doubled the size of his act by... More >> |

| Henry Rollins Marquee Theatre | Wed., October 8, 6:30pm | Tempe | |
 Henry Rollins says he is down on bended knee, begging you — to vote.
It may be hard to imagine Rollins — muscle-bound, sweaty, tattooed — begging, with his furrowed-brow intensity, for anything. But he’s known for being a man of a thousand media, showing he’ll get his... More >> |

| Randy Travis Celebrity Theatre | Wed., October 8, 8:00pm | East Phoenix | |
 There was a time when a new Randy Travis album was cause for celebration in country music circles, with radio programmers tripping over themselves to add Travis’ brand of neo-honky-tonk to their late-80s and early-’90s playlists. The basso profundo former juvenile delinquent could... More >> |

| Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s Rhythm Room | Thu., October 9, 8:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 An aging hipster and a 16-year-old girl stroll through the mall, each absentmindedly enveloped in their respective iPods. They collide. "Hey, watch where you're going," says the hipster, "you got pop sensibilities in my drone-y shoegaze." The 16-year-old girl cocks her head: "Nuh-uh. You got... More >> |

| Cousins of the Wize CD-Release show feat. Golden Tung, Fayuca, Dog of the Moon, & Magnum Pie Club Red | Fri., October 10, 8:00pm | Tempe | |
 Talking to New Times about Cousins of the Wize's impending CD-release show, lead MC Michael "Magnum Pie" Bradford has a laid back steadiness in his voice that never wavers. That’s saying something, considering all the band has been through the past eleven years.
"First off, it humbles... More >> |

| Mucca Pazza, & Gram Rabbit Stray Cat Bar & Grill | Fri., October 10, 9:00pm | Tempe | |
 In our opinion, parades don't come around often enough. But when they do, there's that entire cleanup of crap such as ticker tape and horseapples. So what to do if you want all of the fun and bluster, but none of the mess?
If you're Chicago composer Mark Messing, you call up 29 of your... More >> |

| The Academy Is... Marquee Theatre | Sat., October 11, 6:00pm | Tempe | |
 MTV has a lot to answer for. Killing the radio star to forcefeed us hair bands in the Eighties. Re-imagining punk and grunge to be all those lousy bands that filled two entire CDs of Buzz Cuts in the Nineties. Inventing the reality show and in reality gutting music from the music channel in the... 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 >> |

| Festival in the Desert J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa |
Fri., October 10, 5:00pm more dates/times |
North Scottsdale | |
 Dunno if y’all heard the news, but the economy’s in the toilet. Majorly. So much so that what little money you have for leisure and recreational activities has to be stretched tighter than the spandex hugging the Cardinals cheerleading squad’s naughty bits. Hence, you’re... More >> |

| Arizona FetishBall Venue of Scottsdale | Sat., October 11, 8:00pm-2:00am | Central Scottsdale | |
 One of our favorite movie quotes – courtesy of the late-Chris Farley in Black Sheep, goes like this: “A corn-fed harvest mouse, a hooker, a nun, a Flemish peasant woman, whips, chains, whistles yo-yos, a circus midget.” Every time we think about it, we laugh (haha!) and then, for... More >> |

| Tom Wilson Tempe Improv |
Thu., October 16, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Tempe | |
 When you're an actor best known for playing one of the biggest buffoon bullies in screen history -- a dimwitted tyrant with a penchant for messing up popular sayings and landing headfirst in manure -- you basically have two choices: one, succumb to the typecasting and spend the rest of your...

| 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 >> |

| Mics @ the Market Downtown Phoenix Public Market | First Wednesday of every month | Central Phoenix | |
 The Downtown Phoenix Public Market has made shoppers think locally about their produce and proved there are bargains beyond clipped coupons and grocery-store discount cards. Because of the market’s popularity, other homegrown items have sprouted on the downtown asphalt, including Mics @... 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 >> |

| Drinking Liberally El Peñasco | Every week Friday, 5:30pm | Tempe | |
 The sticky cherry juice trickles over Jenni's open mouth. She visibly arches her back when the Republican, lesbian bartender whispers Rachael Maddow's MSNBC political analysis of the nominees’ VP choices. Jenni flutters her eyes and moans her approval rating.
That's bipartisan porn for... More >> |

| Third Friday Game Night The Spanish Place | Third Friday of every month, 6:00pm-9:00pm | Tempe | |
 Ever played a partner-based card or board game and wanted to cheat? Well, here’s one way to do it: speak Spanish, and make sure your opponents are a bunch of gringos who don’t. From 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 21, you can pick up some en español skills while playing card games,... More >> |
