Tonight Stinkweeds will host Lil Bobby Jr And The Horsey House Band & Friends in celebration of their new release on Moone Records (Phoenix) in partnership with Emotional Response (Flagstaff). The new album We Don’t Belong Together is a collaboration of a “who’s who” of Arizona’s dreamy, twangy and delightfully bummed out players. The result is a cavernous […]
May 18th @ The Newton (Changing Hands) Next Wednesday, Stinkweeds and The Trunk Space have teamed up for a special evening of music with Psychic Temple and Slow Moses. For those of you unfamiliar with Psychic Temple, they are a stellar band on the cusp of notoriety and household namedness. Their newest album, on Sufjan Steven’s label Asthmatic […]
I have a love/hate relationship with holiday shopping. I am not a fan of the crazy crowds and loud, obnoxious advertising. However, I do enjoy the challenge of picking out the perfect gift for someone. I even enjoy the added challenge of having nothing in common with that person. It’s a test of the ego. […]
Beach House has been a busy band this year, having released their critically acclaimed Depression Cherry not even two months ago, only to spring another release on us, seemingly created from thin air. Thank Your Lucky Stars is the newest full length from this Baltimore duo, and their 6th release since 2006. And, like Depression […]

We’ve teamed up with Changing Hands for another unique concert experience at the Newton. Phoenix is now, more than ever, a destination for touring bands looking for attentive audiences and intimate spaces. Even with all of the new venues opening up, we are still coming up short on venues for all of the new acts coming through town. Ever since […]
Congratulations to Shelby Johnson, the winner of our Beach House Depression Cherry review contest! All of the reviews submitted were delightful and entertaining to read but unfortunately, we could only pick one winner. Shelby’s review stood out as very intimate and heartfelt. She managed to describe the finer points of the album in a very non-literal, yet […]
When Yo La Tengo puts out a new album, it’s almost a call to action for publications and select media outlets to take heed and put in their two cents. Some bands are just meant to be reviewed. Just type “Yo La Tengo Review” into your search engine and marvel at the breadth of publications […]
Destroyer – Poison Season I always tread lightly when suggesting Destroyer. The music of Dan Bejar is one of those rare cases of “you’ll love ’em or hate ’em.” This makes it tricky to gauge whether or not my integrity as a “record store guy” will be damaged to suggest something so quirky, but it’s completely worth it.
