Top 5 Must-See Shows in Phoenix This Week
Yeah, yeah, yeah...we get it. Mondays suck (we've read Garfield). But it means the start of a new week, which means a bunch of killer shows in and around Phoenix.
Kim Cerniglia Doctor Bones is scheduled to perform Wednesday, December 12, at the Sail Inn in Tempe.
And here are a few of the coolest -- our top five must-see shows this week.
Monday, December 10: Turbo Fruits @ Crescent Ballroom
Turbo Fruits are scheduled to perform Monday, December 10 at Crescent Ballroom
Nashville's Turbo Fruits are a quartet led by former Be Your Own Pet guitarist Jonas Stein, whose garage aspirations now seem to share space with a '71 Buick. BYOP was a frenzied, pop-punk blast of raging attitude, which Stein in large part carried over when he formed the Fruits.
With their third album, Butter (produced by Spoon's Jim Eno), and third lineup under Stein, TF now seem to have settled into a more comfortable sound driven by jangly blues-rock riffs, a touch of Mersey Beat, a sizable dose of '70s hard rock, and a kind of hapless, too-ripped-to-care angst that's more slacker than attacker.
There are pleasures to be found in TF's familiar chords and power pop melodies, even when the sentiments about motorcycles, elusive girls, whiskey, and weed prove ephemeral. -- Rick Mason
