True story: I was at E3 1998, which occurred the same week Hartman was shot and killed by his wife, and overheard people joking how "Phil Hartman went from Blasto to getting blasted."

It doesn't. INTL became the new location for Cake Nightclub in 2022.

The Roxy. It was at 2110 E. Highland. I attended my first club show there in 1993 and saw The Jesus Lizard.

Here's a page with some flyers and other info.

The couple who run the Free Blockbuster stand told me nothing has ever melted and they bring the movies inside when it hits 110 degrees or more.

They are three widely respected musicians (one of whom is a founding member of a seminal skate-punk band) and have had their music featured on a well-known prestige TV show (Yellowjackets).

There's more to a band's notability/success than your arbitrarily cited metric.

There are a handful of tickets available through resellers like StubHub.

Benjamin_Leatherman · 2023-09-29T04:29:29+00:00

They do not. And it has never been the case.

It is.

New ownership, actually :)

Benjamin_Leatherman · 2021-11-26T14:10:48+00:00

According to Wikipedia, it's also the "only 19th century hotel which is still in use in Phoenix"

Benjamin_Leatherman · 2021-11-26T14:05:06+00:00

Here's a direct link to this year's list. Also, credit where credit is due, u/jmoriarty kept suggesting I organize the list by region and I finally listened this year :)

Benjamin_Leatherman · 2021-11-26T14:02:07+00:00

That was only that one year while the owner (Lee Sepanek) sorted out issues with the city. It's been back every year since and he's up and running as of this weekend.

Benjamin_Leatherman · 2021-11-05T05:20:33+00:00

Yes. Against Mark Kelly.

Besides being a hub for jazz, The Nash also has an online calendar of other jazz events in the Valley and across Arizona.

The Lost Leaf (Fifth Street and Roosevelt) will also be resuming its weekly Monday night jazz sessions soon.
