Phoenix New Times' annual Summer of Sound is always a highlight of the long, hot Arizona summer. What's not to love? Some of the best local bands in town, grouped by genre, playing shows where crowds get to vote to crown their favorite. This year, we're extra-excited about Summer of Sound because we can be part of something even bigger: the push to bring live music back to Tempe's Mill Avenue. That's right, this year's five-night series will take place in the heart of Tempe. Long Wong's - the legendary concert club that birthed The Gin Blossoms, Refreshments and other prominent local acts - may be gone, but we've found some bars and clubs that are eager to help bring bands back to the Valley's biggest and best strip of nightlife. We're pretty sure this is going to be the best Summer of Sound yet!

Once the instruments are fired up, it won’t take you more than a few seconds[READ REVIEW]
Gospel Claws
Gospel Claws could probably draw a local following simply by highlighting their ties to local heroes Dear and the Headlights — frontman Joel Marquard was a founding member and member Chuckie Duff is DATH’s bassist — but the band instead relies on an eclectic [READ REVIEW]
Michelle Blades
To get this much entertainment out of an improvised folk act, you’ll need either a lot of booze or an artist who can sing like Regina Spektor, flow like Jay-Z, and charm like Megan Joy of American Idol. For those interested in the former, you can definitely[READ REVIEW]
