Pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale wants you to know that the lyrics in Pink Martini's songs are not to be picked apart. In fact, to do so you'd have to know several languages. The band's latest album Hey Eugene! features songs in Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and a few other languages, as well. So don't worry about what singer China Forbes is "saying" as she emits aural stimulus at the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall Amphitheater tonight. Instead, focus on what the music is communicating to you.

Pink Martini will play the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall Amphitheater tonight starting at 7:30.
