For us Phoenicians, it’s the time of year where we start to come to terms with our personal involvement with the heat. The first part of the summer is spent complaining about the oncoming heat and lamenting the cooler days. But, we’re in the home stretch and now is the time for action. In July, […]
It’s time for another hazy, lazy Phoenix summer. Whether you’re a mythic bird who rises from the ashes to take on the heat, or like a reptile, burrowed deep under the cool sand, you’re going to need some sounds to keep your mind focused while the sun beams its cosmic rays. So here are 5 […]
Well, this is going to be a busy month. Lots of shows to choose from. Me personally, I’m going to challenge myself to make a list, this month, and stick to it. Of course you can always check our website for tickets we’re selling or go to silverplatter.info to help you make up your own […]
Join us on Monday, June 18th at 8pm at Stinkweeds for Cardioid! Not being a typical music venue, we’re always waiting for the stars to align to bring us that perfect band or artist that just calls for the intimate setting that is our little record store. It seems that these bands are often on […]
