August concert guide: Taylor Swift, Sam Smith

Taylor Swift is back in Glendale for another two-night stand in August, a month that also features concerts by Sam Smith, Lindsey Stirling, Fifth Harmony, Rae Sremmurd, Dierks Bentley and Idina Menzel.

8/1: Boston

They were just another band out of Boston, trying to survive, but electronics whiz and guitarist Tom Scholz’s meticulous craftsmanship made their debut album a smash and turned them into arena rock superstars with the hit “More Than a Feeling.” Of course such meticulousness leads to decades between albums, but you can have some “Peace of Mind” as they return on the strength of their recent album, “Life, Love and Hope.” Former Styx singer Dennis DeYoung opens the show. (This item written by Michael Senft).

Details: 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $45-$255. 602-379-2888, livenation.com.

8/2: Unknown Mortal Orchestra

Their infectious self-titled debut earned raves from Blurt magazine, NME, Prefix and Pitchfork for layering quirky, psychedelic pop songs over breakbeats so funky they managed to catch the attention of Roots drummer Questlove. And they may have hit a new high by expanding the scope of their sound without abandoning its trippy essence in the grooves of this year’s “Multi-Love,” their third release.

Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $15. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

8/4: Coliseum

Produced by J. Robbins of Jawbox, "Anxiety's Kiss" is an aptly titled fifth release for Coliseum, setting the tone with the pulsating bassline and squalling guitar noise of "We Are the Water" and following through with such obvious highlights  as the feedback-laden "Comedown" and the album-closing post-punk churning of "Escape Yr Skull." Alternative Press says this album is what they've been "working towards all these years," and that sounds about right.

Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4. Yucca Tap Room, 29 W. Southern Ave., Tempe. $10. 480-967-4777, yuccatap.com.

8/4: Riff Raff

This cartoonish Houston rapper kicked off last year's "Neon Icon" with an old-school hip-hop party track that made its way through shout-outs to Clark Gable, Julia Stiles, Bill Cosby and Alicia Keys before declaring "I'm the White Gucci Mane with a spray tan." The Quietus praised the oft-delayed release as "that rare product of a rapper in the modern world — an album that perfectly encompasses everything they became loved for on their come up, amplified to the glorious maximum."

Details: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 4. Club Red, 1306 W. University Drive, Mesa. $30; $28 in advance. 480-258-2733, clubredrocks.com.

8/7: Fifth Harmony

The members of Fifth Harmony were thrown together at the end of boot camp on “The X Factor” by Simon Cowell. They finished third but won MTV’s artist to watch at the Video Music Awards last summer, so they may be doing better than Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar, the contestants who finished ahead of them. Their first full-length release, “Reflection,” hit the charts at No. 5 early this year. Two singles from the album — “Sledgehammer” and the platinum “Worth It” — have gone Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Details: 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $29.50-$49.50. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.

8/8: Grace Potter

This heir to Janis Joplin and Sheryl Crow has been the darling of the jam-band circuit for nearly a decade with her bluesy Americana band the Nocturnals. When she returns to the Valley, however, she will be solo, performing tunes off her upcoming album, “Midnight,” which hits stores Aug. 14. (This item written by Michael Senft).

Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $29-$37. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com.

8/9: Idina Menzel

In the past two years, Menzel has sung the smash hit “Let It Go” from Disney’s “Frozen” at the 86th annual Academy Awards, returned to Broadway in the musical “If/Then,” which brought home a best-actress Tony Award nomination, topped Billboard’s holiday charts with an album called “Holiday Wishes” and sung the national anthem at the Super Bowl. Now, she’s headed to Phoenix on her first world tour.

Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $48-$125. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.

8/9: Lucinda Williams

Time magazine went so far as to name her “America’s best songwriter” in 2002. And she’s certainly done her share to live up to that honor, from the self-titled effort that gave the world “Passionate Kisses” back in 1988 to last year’s soulful gem, “Down Where the Spirit Meets the Bone.” It’s Williams’ first release since I rated her previous effort, 2011’s “Blessed,” at No. 1 on a list of her best albums ever.

Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $39-$54. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

8/11: Marriages

They’re touring a full-length debut called “Salome,” a haunted post-punk triumph where impassioned vocals emerge from the shadowy production with conviction. NME called the album “a maelstrom of noise, both ominous and ecstatic, doomy minor chords and cloud-parting major riffs.”

Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11. Rebel Lounge, 2303 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. $15; $13 in advance. 602-296-7013, therebellounge.com.

8/12: Rae Sremmurd

Southern rappers Khalif “Swae Lee” Brown and Aaquil “Slim Jimmy” Brown are best known for the platinum singles “No Flex Zone” and “No Type,” which peaked at No. 36 and No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. They topped the rap and R&B charts with their debut album, “SremmLife,” which featured both singles and brought home raves from Pitchfork, RapReviews and Paste, whose reviewer declared it “a lively surge of hedonism and recklessness.”

Details: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12. Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd St., Phoenix. $15-$49. 602-267-1600, celebritytheatre.com.

8/12: Raekwon & Ghostface Killah

When Raekwon stepped out from the Wu-Tang Clan with “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx ...” in 1995, he hit the charts at No. 4 with a classic later ranked among the greatest albums of the ’90s by Pitchfork.com, Rolling Stone and Spin. But never mind the ’90s. This year’s model, “Fly International Luxurious Art,” is a welcome addition to the catalog. And if that’s not incentive enough, he’s joined by fellow Wu-Tung Clan vet, Ghostface Killah, who made a list of the 100 Greatest Rap Albums 1995-2005 in Hip Hop Connection for his first album, “Ironman.”

Details: 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $26. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com.

8/12: Sam Smith

Not only did he did win four Grammys earlier this year, he set a record for most Grammys ever awarded to a U.K. artist following the release of a first album. In addition to his best-new-artist win, Smith picked up best pop vocal album for “In the Lonely Hour” and record and song of the year for the quadruple-platinum “Stay With Me.”

Details: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12. Gila River Arena, Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue in Glendale. $33-$83. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

8/13: Lindsey Stirling

The dancing violinist grew up in Gilbert and graduated from Mesquite High School, rising to fame in 2010 after making the quarter-finals on “America’s Got Talent.” Five years later, she’s a viral video sensation whose “Crystallize” was the eighth most-watched YouTube video of 2012 and recently topped 120 million views. Released in 2012, her self-titled debut topped Billboard’s dance charts, as did last year’s “Shatter Me,” which also topped the iTunes sales charts.

Details: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $38.50-$48.50. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.

8/13: La Luz

These Seattle rockers are touring a full-length debut, "It's Alive," that puts a brooding spy-rock spin on nearly every track, from those that feature Shana Cleveland's haunting vocals to the organ-driven instrumentals, using plenty of reverb to get the job done. And even on the tracks that don't play up the spy-rock and/or surf-rock sensibilities are unmistakably steeped in the sounds of the '60s.

Details: 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13. Valley Bar, 130 N. Central Ave., Phoenix. $12. valleybarphx.com.

8/14: The Jesus and Mary Chain

These feedback-nursing noise-pop pioneers have decided to honor the 30th anniversary of “Psychocandy,” the classic debut on which they ran their favorite parts of “Be My Baby” and the Velvet Underground through a shoegazing blanket of fuzz, by blowing the dust off the entire album live. “The New Rolling Album Guide” looked back on the aptly titled “Psychocandy” several decades later as “one of the most powerfully jarring albums of the ’80s.” And it was definitely that, but it was also just insanely catchy.

Details: 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14. Marquee Theatre, 730 N. Mill Ave., Tempe. $40. 480-829-0607, luckymanonline.com.

8/15: Dierks Bentley

This Phoenix native has topped the country album chart with five of seven studio releases, including last year’s “Riser,” which spun off the platinum singles “I Hold On” and “Drunk on a Plane.” The singer’s other hits include chart-toppers “What Was I Thinkin’,” “Come a Little Closer,” “Feel That Fire,” “Sideways,” “Am I the Only One,” “Home” and “5-1-5-0.”

Details: 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $26-$50.75. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

8/15: Esperanza Spalding Presents: Emily’s D+Evolution

The jazz sensation who took home best-new-artist honors at the 2011 Grammy Awards is drawing on her childhood love of theater, poetry and movement in a multimedia production said to unfold as live musical vignettes. As Spalding explains, “We will be staging the songs as much as we play them, using characters, video and the movement of our bodies.”

Details: 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 15. Mesa Arts Center, 1 E. Main St. $35. 480-644-6500, mesaartscenter.com.

8/17: Bane

These Massachusetts punks are touring a farewell album aptly titled "Don't Wait Up." And they will not go quietly, it turns out. A review at Sputnikmusic summed it up with "Aurally consistent, hauntingly introspective, and beautifully self-reflective in its just-over-a-half-hour duration, 'Don't Wait Up' may not rewrite the hardcore how-to book, but it does showcase how to bow out gracefully, with nearly 20 years' worth of respect earned intact."

Details: 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17. Club Red, 1306 W. University Drive, Mesa. $25; $23 in advance. 480-258-2733, clubredrocks.com.

8/17: The Velvet Teen

These California indie-rockers arrive in support of an album called "All is Illusory," their first release in nine years. Pitchfork responded with "making the best '2006 indie rock' record of 2015 makes them stand out in a way that they hadn’t managed yet."

Details: 8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17. Rebel Lounge, 2303 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. $12; $10 in advance. 602-296-7013, therebellounge.com.

8/17-18: Taylor Swift

This tour is named for Swift’s fifth album, the five-times-platinum “1989,” which was released last year and had the biggest first-week sales of any album since 2002. The album was preceded by the single, “Shake it Off,” a frothy piece of pop that gave the star her second No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, following the similarly poppy “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” Among her biggest multiplatinum hits are “Teardrops on My Guitar,” “Our Song,” “Love Story,” “You Belong With Me,” “Mine,” “Mean,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” and “Blank Space.”

Details: 7:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18. Gila River Arena, Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue in Glendale. $33-$193.50. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

8/17-18: Asleep at the Wheel

These Western Swing revivalists have taken home nine Grammys releasing their first album in the early ’70s. And chances are, they’ll add another Grammy to that total thanks to the recent release of “Still the King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys.” It’s their third such tribute to the king, this one boasting guest appearances by Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, the Avett Brothers, Amos Lee, Lyle Lovett and Old Crow Medicine Show.

Details: 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 17, and Tuesday, Aug. 18. Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Blvd., Phoenix. $47.50-$52.50. 480-478-6000, mim.org.

8/18: METZ

These Canadian rockers bring the noise with a pulsating post-punk intensity in the more inspired moments of a second album aptly titled “II” after setting the tone with the tortured howls of “Acetate.” DIY magazine awarded the release a perfect score, declaring it “an advert to be a whole new generation’s Sonic Youth or Nirvana and on this performance, you’d be foolish not to buy in.”

Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $18; $15 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

8/18: Screaming Females

Marissa Paternoster’s distorted guitar riffs and snarling vibrato delivering lyrics as tortured as “I say peel the skin raw” would have sounded right at home on alternative radio in the early ’90s, surrounded by Hole, Sleater-Kinney and Monster Magnet. The A.V. Club wrote that “Comparisons of Paternoster’s vocals to those of Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker are understandable — they both howl with a wistful vibrato that can blow doors off hinges. However, less acknowledged is the bold theatricality that Paternoster often infuses into her vocals.”

Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18. Valley Bar, 130 N. Central Ave., Phoenix. $14; $12 in advance. valleybarphx.com.

8/18: Rocky Votolato

Votolato arrives in support of an album called “Hospital Handshakes.” Produced by Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie, the album is a more electrifying experience than the first two albums in a trilogy inspired by his struggles with depression, 2010’s “True Devotion” and 2012’s “Television of Saints.” But it feels just as personal and no less poignant. It’s just louder and more raucous.

Details: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18. Rebel Lounge, 2303 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. $15; $13 in advance. 602-296-7013, therebellounge.com.

8/18: Fireworks

It almost seems a shame to call these Detroit rockers pop-punk. That's how far they rise above what all too often passes for the genre in 2015, given the pop sensibilities that made "Oh, Common Life" stand out last year. As Alternative Press responded, "Part of what makes 'Oh, Common Life' so gripping is the way Fireworks have pushed their songwriting into a place that sounds wholly theirs, fusing their pop-punk influences with power-pop smarts and a host of ’90s alt-rock flourishes." The end result is much closer in spirit to Smoking Popes or even Buzzcocks territory than the Hot Topic mall punk that took all the shine off the genre.

Details: 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18. Underground, 105 W. Main St., Mesa. $14; $12 in advance. 480-559=5859, niletheater.com.

8/19: The Girls Night Out, Boys Can Come Too Tour

A two-time Grammy winner, Colbie Caillat is touring in support of “Gypsy Heart,” which hit the charts at No. 17 last year. Christina Perri has been touring “Head or Heart,” an acclaimed second album that debuted at No. 4 last year, preceded by a platinum lead single, “Human.”

Details: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $39-$49. 800-745-3000, livenation.com.

8/19: The Drums

These Brooklyn rockers were voted the best hope for 2010, edging out Sleigh Bells, in a Pitchfork Reader's Poll taken in 2009, and were chosen as the top tip of 2010 by NME. And they did their best to live up to the hype on a self-titled effort released in 2010. They're touring on "Encyclopedia," released last year to mixed reviews (although Under the Radar responded with "Look into this 'Encyclopedia' and you'll find the Drums defining themselves for now and forever").

Details: 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $18; $15 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

8/20: Jackson Browne

This Rock and Roll Hall of Famer launched his career with a Top 10 breakthrough hit, “Doctor My Eyes,” in the early ’70s, following through with such Top 40 singles “Running on Empty,” a cover of Maurice William’s “Stay,” “Boulevard,” “Somebody’s Baby” and “Lawyers in Love.” And he’s still adding songs to the set list, touring an acclaimed new album, “Standing in the Breach.”

Details: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20. Mesa Arts Center, 1 E. Main St. SOLD OUT. 480-644-6500, mesaartscenter.com.

8/20: Tinariwen

These Tuareg musicians earned a best-world-music-album Grammy in 2011 for “Tassili.” Their latest effort, “Emmaar,” inspired a four-and-a-half-star rave at MusicOMH, whose critic raved, “It’s a truly absorbing listen, almost effortless. For a band that have been through so much turmoil, they convey so much beauty.”

Details: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20. Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Blvd., Phoenix. $42.50-$47.50. 480-478-6000, mim.org.

8/20: Shai Hulud

Taking their name from the sandworms in Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” they keep their hardcore on the heavy side — with lots of screaming — on their latest album, “Reach Beyond the Sun.” And what’s weird is the source of the screaming — original vocalist Chad Gilbert, who left in 1997 to take a pop-punk holiday with New Found Glory and came back just in time for “Reach Beyond the Sun,” an album no one could mistake for pop-punk.

Details: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20. Pub Rock Live, 8005 E. Roosevelt St., Scottsdale. $15; $12 in advance. 480-945-4985, pubrocklive.com.

8/21: Diana Krall

The only singer to have eight albums debut at the top of Billboard’s jazz chart, Krall has been among the higher-profile names in jazz since 1997, when the “Love Scenes” album went on to earn the piano-playing vocalist a Grammy nomination. She has two Grammys to her credit. “When I Look in Your Eyes” won a best-jazz-vocal-performance award in the year 2000 and “Live in Paris” won a best-jazz-vocal-album Grammy in 2003. Her latest album, “Wallflower,” features Krall putting her spin on pop and rock songs by the likes of Elton John and Harry Nilsson as well as a previously unreleased Paul McCartney song.

Details: 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21. Phoenix Symphony Hall, 75 N. Second St. $45-$125. 602-262-7272, phoenixconventioncenter.com.

8/21: Macy Gray

The eccentric soul diva who scored a hit in 2000 with “I Try” and then disappeared from the charts is back after struggling with personal issues. She’s still been busy, however, appearing on “Dancing With the Stars” and recording a tribute to Stevie Wonder’s “Talking Book” album. Her latest album, “The Way,” hit stores last October. (This item written by Michael Senft).

Details: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $39-$49. 602-716-2222, crescentballroom.com.

8/22: R5

Ross Lynch of “Austin & Ally” fame brings his musical siblings — Riker, Rocky and Rydel — to Mesa in support of R5’s second album of infectious power-pop melodies, “Sometime Last Night,” which hit the charts at No. 6. A single from the album, “Let’s Not Be Alone Tonight,” hit No. 37 on the mainstream Top 40 chart in Billboard.

Details: 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22. Mesa Amphitheatre, 263 N. Center St. $32.50-$45. 480-644-2560, mesaamp.com.

8/23: Dawes

It’s not for nothing that these guys recorded their debut in Laurel Canyon, the epicenter of the California soft-rock sound that flourished in the early ’70s. They’re touring an album titled “All Our Favorite Bands” and you can rest assured that most names on that list would date to that era, from their tour mate Jackson Browne to the soft-rocking Eagles. But the inspirations suit them — like a fringed suede jacket.

Details: 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 23. Crescent Ballroom, 308 N. Second Ave., Phoenix. $39.50; $28.50 in advance. 602-716-2222, crescentphx.com.

8/25: Kelly Clarkson with Pentatonix

Since winning America’s heart on “American Idol,” Clarkson has gone on to win three Grammys, selling more than 20 million albums worldwide. She’s also placed 10 singles in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, including three chart-toppers: “A Moment Like This,” “My Life Would Suck Without You” and “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).”

Details: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $25-$99.50. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

The king of the dobro is back with the king of the mandolin in tow. Douglas, who has played with just about everyone in Nashville and is a regular with Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello and Ricky Skaggs, has appeared on more than 1,600 albums during his 35-year career. Joining him is the King of Telluride, Sam Bush. A founding member of New Grass Revival, Bush has appeared at 41 of the 42 annual Telluride Bluegrass Festivals and played with Douglas in the Telluride supergroup Strength in Numbers. (Item written by Michael Senft)

Details: 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25. Musical Instrument Museum, 4725 E. Mayo Blvd., Phoenix. $47.50-$52.50. 480-478-6000, mim.org.

8/26: Kid Rock’s First Kiss: Cheap Date Tour with Foreigner

The $20 Ticket is Back! That’s how Kid Rock is hyping the summer tour that brings the Detroit rocker and Twisted Brown Trucker to Phoenix with special guests Foreigner in support of the recently released “First Kiss.” Rock recently became the first artist to sell out a show at the Coors Light Birds Nest two months in advance. So that’s how popular he remains 16 years after hitting the mainstream with “Bawitdaba.”

Details: 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $20. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

8/28: Jill Scott

The neo-soul sensation was discovered in her native Philadelphia by Roots bandleader Questlove when she was working as a spoken-word artist. A guest spot with the Roots led to work in a Canadian production of “Rent” and Grammy nominations for her debut “Who Is Jill Scott?” Since then she’s continued to record and act, appearing in the HBO series “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.”  (This item written by Michael Senft).

Details: 8 p.m. Friday Aug. 28. Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $38.50-$78.50. 602-379-2888, livenation.com.

8/28: Mutoid Man

Steve Brodsky comes to Mutoid Man from Cave In while Ben Koller drums for Converge. So go for the resumes, stay for the music, a challenging blend of stoner-rock and prog. Kurt Ballou of Converge produced their excellent full-length debut, titled "Bleeder." to which Revolver magazine responded by calling "equal parts musical acrobatics and strong songwriting that strikes an off-kilter balance somewhere between Queens of the Stone Age and The Dillinger Escape Plan."

Details: 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 28. Rebel Lounge, 2303 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. $14; $12 in advance. 602-296-7013, therebellounge.com.

8/29: SLIPKNOT: Summer’s Last Stand Tour

Slipknot grabbed the metal nation by the collar and screamed in its face with an attention-grabbing second-stage performance on the Ozzfest tour in 1999 in support of a self-titled debut. Dressed in ghoulish rubber masks and matching jumpsuits, they crowded the parking-lot stages, brutalizing themselves, their instruments and everything in sight with an intensity the world had rarely seen. They’ve had their share of rock-radio hits since then, including “Duality,” “Dead Memories,” “Snuff” and last year’s “The Devil in I.” But really, it’s about the live show, which remains a brutal spectacle.

Details: 6:15 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29. Ak-Chin Pavilion, 2121 N. 83rd Ave., Phoenix. $30-$70. 800-745-3000, ticketmaster.com.

8/29: Flatliners

These Canadian punks crash the gate on "Dead Language," their latest release, with the reckless abandon and breakneck pacing of "Resuscitation of the Year." And the energy level never falters as they make their way through such rollicking highlights as "Bury Me" and "Sew My Mouth Shut." Alternative Press said, "The Flatliners here transcend genre distinctions to make a great rock record, period."

Details: 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29. Rebel Lounge, 2303 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. $14; $12 in advance. 602-296-7013, therebellounge.com.
