THE VINYL COUNTDOWN

HOW & WHERE TO CELEBRATE RECORD STORE DAY’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY MADISON RUTHERFORD & ALEXANDRA WHITTEN

R

ecord Store Day is right around the corner, and if you’re a lover of vinyl, you’re in luck. This April 21, local record stores will celebrate the holiday, now in its 10th year, with extended hours, live performances, sales and hundreds of RSD special releases. With locations across the Valley, why not make an adventure out of it? Here are seven of our favorite record stores in

• COLLEGE TIMES

Phoenix and a few fun places to visit nearby after you find the perfect vinyl.

RECORD HIGH 4242 E. University Drive, Phoenix Record High is not your average record store. It’s clean, simplistic and incredibly well-organized. In addition to its minimal look, it also has a very relaxed atmosphere and a slew of drool-worthy jazz and blues records. Over the course of the year, Record High employees set aside more than 1,000 rare titles in supreme condition to release on Record Store Day, so get there early for the best selection. If you don’t believe us, trust the internet — Record High has a five-star Yelp rating.

bins at the front of the store are always stocked with new arrivals, so there’s bound to be something new every time you stop by. Revolver will open early on Record Store Day and will offer a storewide sale in addition to the RSD exclusives.

Roosevelt Row

THE ‘IN’ GROOVE

McDowell Road south to Fillmore & 7th Street west to Central, Phoenix

3420 E. Thomas Road, Phoenix

Roosevelt Row, a walkable arts district in downtown Phoenix, is a stone’s throw away from Revolver. Roosevelt Row is home to First Friday, a monthly event that showcases art, culture, music and local vendors and shops (like Revolver!). It also boasts beautiful and Instagram-worthy murals, galleries, eateries, coffee shops, bars and boutiques.

STINKWEEDS 12 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix

Little Miss BBQ 4301 E. University Drive, Phoenix A five-star record store experience requires a fivestar snack afterwards. Grab a bite across the street at Little Miss BBQ, which specializes in Texas-style BBQ with traditional sides like ranch-style beans, potato salad and coleslaw. If you want a meal that tastes like it’s from your family’s backyard, this place is for you — and don’t forget to save room for a slice of smoked pecan pie for dessert.

REVOLVER RECORDS ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 15, 2018

918 N. 2nd Street, Phoenix What Revolver’s downtown location lacks in space, it makes up for in quality. For a decade, this small shop has boasted an eclectic mix of genres and new and used titles. The

Books and Comics to nerd out over new and back-issue comics and comic-related games, gifts and toys. The shop has been providing Arizona’s largest selection of comics for more than three decades, so they certainly know their stuff!

Stinkweeds has been a staple in the Valley since 1987 and has become one of the best independent music stores in Arizona. They have records on records on records and you’re guaranteed to find any genre your heart desires. This Record Store Day, Stinkweeds will have live bands, food trucks and tons of giveaways, so stop by and say hi or hang out all day to get your hands on promo pressings, posters, T-shirts, bags, concert tickets and more — they might even have some hidden around the store for customers to search for while they’re on the lookout for their favorite record. Stinkweeds also collaborated with YabYum Music + Arts on a compilation record of local bands covering other local bands.

All About Books and Comics 24 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix If you need a break from nerding out over records, walk over to All About

This established record retailer boasts the best selection of 7-inch singles in the state and stocks its shelves with new and used releases every Friday, but the selection at The ‘In’ Groove will be even more poppin’ this Record Store Day with RSD exclusives and special swag. Stay tuned for the live music lineup.

TRACKS IN WAX 4741 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix Tracks in Wax has been on the scene since 1982. Decorated from floor to ceiling with posters and other memorabilia, this shop has thousands of rare and collectible records for sale. Expect early hours and a special sale this Record Store Day.

Hula’s Modern Tiki 4700 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix If you work up an appetite while digging through records, walk across the street to Hula’s Modern Tiki for some Hawaiian ceviche, fresh fish, tacos, burgers and bowls — or a tropical cocktail! Hula’s is a modern twist on classic tiki bars from the ‘50s and ‘60s, specializing in American comfort food with an island influence.

ZIA RECORD EXCHANGE 1850 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix Zia Record Exchange is a treasure trove of movies, video games and —

“Record Store Day is a day that almost every record store is excited about.

It’s a lot of fun to celebrate the hobby and have so many people passionate about the same thing in the same place.”

undreds of limited-run RSD releases will show up on record store shelves across the country for one day only, forcing people to get off their couch, dig for rare records and possibly interact with other humans. You won’t find these titles on Amazon Prime, people, so get out there and support your local independent record store. We combed through the list of releases and got real nostalgic. Here are a few of our highlights.

THE FIRST RECORD STORE DAY TOOK PLACE ON APRIL 19, 2008 TO HELP HONOR AND PROMOTE THE UNIQUE CULTURE SURROUNDING INDEPENDENT RECORD STORES.

RSD EXCLUSIVES STAFF PICKS

Warning Device (10th Anniversary Edition), Teenage Bottlerocket, LP, 350 copies “As a pop-punk kid who came of age in the 2000s, I’m hopelessly, pathetically drawn to albums like this. It is fast and fun and reminds me what it felt like to be that awkward teenager who spent every weekend driving to shows with his friends.”

–Wayne Schutsky, Staff Writer They’re All Gonna Laugh At You!, Adam Sandler, 2 x LP, 3,325 copies “Before comedy albums were cool outside of Weird Al Yankovic, Adam Sandler was so completely before his time. To this day, my friends and I still quote the songs and comedy sketches from this album. It was my rated R in a PG-13 world.”

–Tuesday Mahrle, Digital Project Coordinator Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, The Sundays, LP, 3,000 copies “The Sundays are, in my opinion, one of the more underrated dream pop bands of the 1990s – or ever. With memorable cuts like ‘Here’s Where the Story Ends’ and ‘Can’t Be Sure,’ this 1990 debut is essential listening in the group’s discography.”

–Connor Dziawura, Staff Writer

A DECADE LATER, THE ANNUAL EVENT IS CELEBRATED ON EVERY CONTINENT EXCEPT ANTARCTICA.

most importantly — records. With five locations across the Valley, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for. Stop by on Record Store Day to scoop up RSD exclusives and other goodies and enjoy live local music.

The Camelback location is right across from the light rail.

Milk Run 1702 W. Camelback Road, Phoenix Not too far from Zia on Camelback is Milk Run Premium Ice Cream & Boba, so take said light rail to this small shop that specializes in Vietnamese coffee, milk tea with boba, iced tea and slushies. The drinks are cute and colorful and you can opt to get your drink in a reusable glass bottle.

2601 W. Dunlap Avenue, #21, Phoenix The Record Room is a staunch supporter of local music; the shop has a section dedicated to vinyls from local artists and RSD always has a lineup of local bands and DJs. This year is no different. Phoenix bands like Brea Burns and the Boleros, The Glides and Dirty Hairy will take the stage while customers rummage through RSD exclusive releases. The rest of the store will be 20 percent off, including The Record Room’s famed $1 records. CT

Lights of Home, U2, 12-inch vinyl, 5,000 copies “My parents are fans of U2 and forced it on me from a young age so I have loved them for as long as I can remember. Bono has a smooth and beautiful voice that would sound great on vinyl.”

–Matt McClure, Editorial Intern Sha Sha, Ben Kweller, LP, 1,200 copies “This early-2000’s indie classic is reminiscent of Weezer and Ben Lee, but make no mistake; Kweller’s got a voice of his own. Add this vinyl to your collection for a flashback to your teenage angst as he sings about “being maxed out like a credit card” and “don’t bother me when I’m watching Planet of the Apes on TV.” –Carson Mlnarik, Staff Writer Illmatic: Live From The Kennedy Center, NAS, 2 x LP, 5,000 copies “Decidedly one of the most illustrious albums in the history of hip-hop. Live. On vinyl. Name a more iconic trio. I’ll wait.”

–Madison Rutherford, Editor

To check out the complete list, go to recordstoreday.com/SpecialReleases.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 15, 2018

THE RECORD ROOM

Knock Yer Block Off!, Sloppy Seconds, LP, 500 copies “Sloppy Seconds and I are both from Indianapolis, and I spent my high school years going to their shows at dive punk clubs around town. Their guitarist, a huge guy named Roadkill, stage dove once and landed on top of me, giving me a concussion. I’ve had this album on CD for years, but getting it on vinyl would be a better nostalgia kick.”

HOW ‘BLACK PANTHER’ IS CHANGING THE ZEITGEIST OF MODERN FILM EMILY GARCIA • COLLEGE TIMES

SU students are inspired

by Marvel’s Black Panther movie and hope this is the beginning of predominantly black movie casts.

Black Panther is making history for featuring the first black superhero and a primarily black cast. Black Panther was released on February 16 and made $25.2 million on opening night. Now with revenues totaling more than $900 million, it has become this year’s must-see movie.

The Marvel movie has already shown its impact on a local scale. Organizations are attempting the Black Panther Challenge, the goal of which is to raise money for underprivileged children to attend a showing of the film.

Moviegoers are posting pictures on social media of themselves wearing traditional African outfits and posing with movie posters.

“The movie’s largest cultural impact will be that millions of people will have seen black men and women as stars in a superhero film,” says Matthew Delmont, director and professor for ASU’s School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies. “Seeing people who look like you doing amazing things on a movie screen is a powerful thing and it has been inspiring to see all of the pictures on Twitter of kids and adults dressing up like the characters.”

Delmont, whose expertise is in Civil Rights and African American studies, says that Hollywood should continue producing movies with diverse casts because movie audiences

in the U.S. are more diverse than ever.

“The idea that movies with a predominately black cast — or predominately people of color cast — don’t sell tickets has always been based more on the racial attitudes of Hollywood studio executives than actual data,” Delmont says.

He adds that Hidden Figures, Get Out, and Black Panther have done exceptionally well at the box office and that continuing to produce movies with diverse casts “is just a smart business decision.”

Marcus Edwards, a member of ASU’s Black Student Union, says an excuse that stops movies with predominantly black casts from being produced is because they don’t do well internationally. He expects that this movie will prove that wrong, and the movie will receive the same positive reaction overseas as it has in the U.S. Edwards says black Americans are represented in the movie exactly how they represent themselves in the real world. “We fight here in a place that doesn’t want to integrate us and we also want to go back to a place that we just expect to be welcomed with open arms,” Edwards says. “It is the perfect representation because that’s what we do on a more realistic level. It is more truthful than what black people wanted to see.”

Ayanna Shambe, the vice president of ASU’s Black Student Union, likes that the movie includes aspects of traditional African culture.

“The movie was amazing,”

POSTER • MARVEL STUDIOS

Shambe says. “It was cool to see Afrofuturism at its best and to see how they imagined Wakanda.”

Black Panther touched on cultural issues between Africans and black Americans, according to Shambe. The movie, which is set in Africa, creates a dilemma for black moviegoers: Not all black Americans define themselves as African.

“They did a good job showing the nuance within the global black community,” Shambe says.

BSU member Oteisha Hutchinson liked the movie and hopes that it will inspire black youth. The film has underlying tones of female empowerment, she says. The movie encourages women toward STEM programs and the film’s director, Ryan Coogler, decided to make

the guards of Wakanda, the fictional, futuristic African nation in which the movie is set, only women.

“Coogler did that to touch on feminism and everything that is going on now with domestic violence and actually portraying women as being able to defend themselves,” Hutchinson says.

The black Hollywood community came together and contributed to different levels of the production of this movie.

Tyler Perry allowed the Black Panther cast to shoot scenes at his studio in Atlanta, Georgia.

“For underrepresented voices to have access to areas where decisions are made was amazing,” Shambe says. “It’s clear that black people were represented at all stages of development in this movie.” CT

on’t believe the movies – greed is NOT good.

But choosing to go into the financial field to help educate others about money, savings, financial regulations and fiscal responsibility can mean a long and rewarding career in many potential fields. Here’s a look at a group of local business pros and how they got on their paths.

in the field. Around the same time, a family member urged me to look into applying at a bank while I was figuring out my next step. That was seven years ago! I’ve risen in the ranks and even today as I lead our branch, I am seeking to formalize my work in finance. In fact, I am working toward my bachelor’s degree in it right now.

Daniel Leidenz Branch manager, Washington Federal Tucson Ever since I was a child, I have been fascinated with homes – having seen them everywhere from jungles to islands growing up. I was actually born in Venezuela and also lived in Margarita (an island, not the drink) before coming to Arizona as a teen. My dad worked for oil and mining companies, so I always asked how things got done – how homes were sold, how things were built. As it turned it, it was through finance!

I was hooked and have been doing it since college as a result.

Elizabeth I. Symons Registered representative, Symons Wealth Management I didn’t get my start in the field until later in life, after serving in the Air Force, in fact, when I was working in the psychology field.

I was approached specifically about the need for women to help other women understand finances, especially through different phases of their lives. Given my background in women’s mental health, I married that passion with my love of helping others and have now been at it for 22 years, getting and giving education along the way.

Financial advisor, Wilde Wealth Management Group I grew up on a farm, watching my parents work hard, slowly and methodically building both their business and retirement over decades.

When a tax mistake resulted in them losing much of their hard-earned savings nearly overnight, our lives were forever changed. I got into the industry due in large part to my desire to help others avoid the undue stress and strife that my parents had to endure.

HOMETOWN HERO ASU GRAD HONORED FOR A

s a youngster, Christine Devine yearned to become the face of local TV news.

“I wanted to be the hometown girl in Phoenix,” Devine says. “But we don’t get to plan our destiny.”

Devine’s journey was much grander than that.

After attending Tolleson Union High School and graduating from ASU in 1987, she worked in Tucson and then headed to the Los Angeles Fox affiliate, KTTV. Recently, the Radio and Television News Association of Southern California honored her with a lifetime achievement award at the 68th annual Golden Mike Awards.

A 25-year TV news veteran, Devine has changed the lives of more than 700 kids in the foster care system through her weekly Wednesday’s Child segment.

She also reported and anchored coverage of many of the region’s major news stories over recent years, from earthquakes and brush fires to crime and celebrity deaths and suicides.

Christine Devine has worked in broadcast journalism for 25 years.

“When someone says they’re giving you a lifetime achievement award, you step back for a second,” she says. “It seems premature for a lifetime achievement award. You feel you’re not really ready for it because you’re doing the daily grind and still working full time.

However, I welcome any honor because I can talk about kids in foster care and adoption.”

ARIZONA GIRL

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 15, 2018

Devine was born in Hamburg, New York, but moved to Arizona with her parents, who are educators and Peace Corps members. They encouraged her educational endeavors and hoped she would become a teacher.

“I thought, ‘How about news?’” she says. “As reporters, we’re students of current events and that was that.”

During her time at TUHS, her father, Dr. Jack Devine, served as principal. She was valedictorian, and was voted “Most Likely to Succeed.”

That she did. She is in the Walter Cronkite School of Broadcast Journalism’s Hall of Fame, and received ASU’s Founders Day Alumni Achievement Award. A former member of the ASU Alumni Association board, Devine attended the university on a leadership scholarship.

“Here’s the neatest thing: The vice president of the university, Dr. Christine Wilkinson, was on the very scholarship committee when I was up for the ASU Medallion of Merit as a junior in high school,” Devine says. “It’s so great to work with her, to be a part of her legacy, a part of the growth of the university. It’s like a family. I’m still grateful to have that connection.”

Reporting the news is just one of her passions. She is a lifelong supporter of fostering and adopting.

“My own family fostered and adopted,” Devine says. “I know the realities of foster care — the highs and the lows, the difficulties, the challenges, the rewards. It’s something that speaks to me.”

Working long, hard hours can be difficult on any relationship, but Devine says she found the perfect partner in musician/actor Sean McNabb. They’ve been married for two years, but they’ve been together for 13.

“He’s been in a lot of heavy metal bands,” she says. “He’s that go-to guy who’s in a ton of bands — Quiet Riot, Great White, Dokken, Lynch Mob. He’s up at midnight and I’m getting home at midnight. We’re a good fit. We have strangers coming up to us and we understand.

It’s a crazy, unique fit.”

Even though she’s been bestowed with a lifetime achievement award, Devine doesn’t see the end of her career.

“I’ll stay here as long as they let me come in the door,” she says. CT

NEW VENUE TAKES AN AXE TO THE TRADITIONAL TEAM SPORTS EXPERIENCE MATT MCCLURE • COLLEGE TIMES

C

ompetitive axe-throwing has made its way out west and found its newest home in Arizona.

LumberJaxes, Phoenix’s first axethrowing facility, recently opened just blocks away from the Angels’ Tempe Diablo Stadium.

LumberJaxes founders Corey Deasy, Matt Peyton, and Jack Welsh came upon the axe-throwing experience while vacationing in Canada in 2016, and saw the opportunity to bring it to the Pittsburgh area. From there, the popular Canadian phenomenon grew in popularity and has now expanded to Tempe.

Their newest location is full of bays that stretch across the expansive warehouse. Each bay is separated by a chain-link fence to protect throwers from any flying axes or debris from the boards.

LumberJaxes is a BYOB facility and, while that may arouse suspicion in regards to safety, founder Corey Deasy wants to quell that worry: “We don’t worry about it; we monitor it,” he says. “We have an axe-throwing instructor for every single group.

We have our rules posted on the board over there and our very last rule says, ‘If you appear to be visibly intoxicated, you are not allowed to throw anymore.’ So the rule of thumb that we have is we encourage you to come on in and have a casual drink.

No hard liquor, just beer or wine. The rule is one drink per hour. As long as everyone is following the rules then there is no issue.”

With plenty of local breweries in the area, there should be no shortage of options when it comes to bringing in beer. According to Deasy, making the venue BYOB makes the

experience more customer-friendly.

“We just felt that it adds to the experience to be able to come in with your friends to enjoy a few casual drinks and have some fun,” Deasy says. “It also makes it so that it’s a more affordable experience.

You go somewhere else to other entertainment complexes where they’re charging 6, 8, 10, 12 bucks for a drink. Well, you can come in, pay 35 bucks to throw some axes and bring your own food and beer, so it makes for a really fun and affordable experience.”

That $35 buys a two and a half hour group session that includes axes, targets and training. For an extra $5, LumberJaxes will soon offer other sharp objects to throw at the targets like ninja stars, knives, cards and Batman batarangs.

Axe-throwing is a sport in which anyone can thrive. The competitor’s skill level, age or gender doesn’t matter once you step into the bay and face off against your opponent.

Along with that, nothing compares to the satisfaction of the sound or feeling of having an axe to stick into the target.

Whether it is for a work event or with a couple of friends, the large warehouse is dedicated to friendly competition. Throwing axes is an experience that can be enjoyed by everyone and can be mastered after just a little practice.

There are a variety of different games and activities you can participate in while throwing axes.

Each game is supervised and led by an instructor who can keep score and ensure that all rules are being followed. While LumberJaxes’ goal is for its guests to have fun, Deasy

stresses that safety is their first priority.

“We have safety protocols in place and we’re members of the Federal Axe Throwing Association,” Deasy says. “This is our second location with more to come. We’ve been open without incident for over six months. I just want to make sure that this is something that is done in a relatively safe environment. It sounds scary but if you were actually here for an event, you would probably leave and be like ‘Wow, that was a lot safer and more fun that I thought it would be.’”

LumberJaxes, 3109 S. Fair Lane, Tempe, 480.773.6551, axethrowingphx.com, open 7 days a week from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. CT

HANNAH WICKLUND & THE STEPPIN STONES AND THE HIGH DIVERS BRING SOUTHERN ROCK TO SHADY PARK MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES

H

annah Wicklund and her brother, Luke Mitchell, have always been on parallel paths when it comes to music.

The 20-year-old South Carolina-bred singer and guitarist started her blues rock band, Hannah Wicklund & The Steppin’ Stones, when she was just 8 years old. She says seeing Mitchell, who is seven years her senior, perform folkinfluenced rock while growing up was a huge inspiration to her.

Now, Hannah Wicklund & The Steppin’ Stones and Mitchell’s band, The High Divers, are on tour together for the first time. It’s dubbed The Sibling Rivalry Tour, but Wicklund insists it’s more of a friendly competition and collaboration – Mitchell is playing drums for Wicklund throughout the tour. They stop by Tempe’s Shady Park on Thursday, April 5.

“Both of us are very determined people, so we’ve always kind of focused on our own projects; this is the first time we’re even collaborating on a consistent basis, so it’s been really cool,” she says of the tour so far. “The whole concept of the tour is that it’s The High Divers, and then it’s my band… My brother is the frontman, but he’s also a badass drummer, so he’s playing drums for me…

The tour is named Rivalry, but there’s definitely a lot of love to be had.”

Wicklund jokes that she’s only hit Mitchell with her guitar a few times.

Because of the ambitious spirit they share, she admits there was some healthy competition when they were younger.

“There was definitely a bit of rivalry when I was young, but it was a healthy rivalry,” she recalls.

“It was more about us pushing each other. Whenever I would see Luke, I would always feel like I needed to go home and practice because I didn’t want to fall too far behind.”

Nowadays, falling behind seems like the least of Wicklund’s worries. With a thick canopy of caramel-colored curls cascading down to her hips and a raw energy and talent reminiscent of Janis Joplin or Stevie Nicks, it’s easy to forget the singer and guitarist is a few weeks shy of her 21st birthday.

“I’ve been asked how old I am I don’t know how many times… That’s definitely the No. 1 question,” she says. “People definitely get a kick out of my age, for sure… but to me, I feel like I should’ve done more.”

The songstress refers to her brand of blues rock as “refreshed rock ‘n’ roll,” a genre which she believes has recently experienced a well-deserved resurgence, offering a reprieve from the humdrum hip-hop and pop that currently dominates the charts.

“It feels like rock ‘n’ roll is starting to make a comeback. I think it’s time for it,” she says. “It’s kind of like that classic thing where everybody in high school listens to pop and rap and then they go to college and they find real music

and start to branch out a little bit. I feel like hopefully that same kind of thing is happening in the music industry.

Hopefully the music industry is going to college.”

LOCAL FLAVOR Seasoned Americana ensemble The Sugar Thieves, which is also femalefronted, will open the show at Shady Park. The Phoenix-based band has been synonymous with American roots music in Arizona since 2006. The band’s frontwoman, Meridith Moore, is excited to share the stage with Wicklund.

“It’s always exciting to meet and experience other lady singers,” Moore says. “We need more strong, confident mamas on the scene.”

Joey Gutos, who is responsible for live music booking and artist relations at Shady Park, says The Sibling Rivalry Tour will be one of the first national tours to hit the Shady Park stage.

“It’s been mostly local up to this point,” he says. “(Shady Park) is much more intimate than the average venue…

You can get right up in people’s faces, in a good way, and I think that creates a closer connection with people, when you’re on their level. I think that’s what they found attractive about this place when they were deciding on where to play next.”

Another selling point was Shady Park’s versatility; the venue, located right off Mill Avenue, is also a bar and restaurant.

“I think it’s the perfect spot, especially for a weekday show,” Gutos says. “You can come in, have some bomb food, stay for a beer and enjoy (the music). I think it will be high-energy because it’s that feelgood, soulful music that just captivates you. It’s not so obtrusive that you can’t still have a conversation with your friends, but it’s also not so low-key that you don’t want to get up on the dance floor and get down.”

Moore predicts an eclectic mix of old and young music fans at the show. Much like the music scene itself, her band and its sound continues to evolve and grow.

“We perform folk, country, Americana, blues, and some rockin’ stuff too,” she says. “It’s a melting pot of sounds that can reach anyone, in any demographic.

Our live shows are where it’s at. You will not see a Sugar Thieves performance without taking home a bag of feelings.

We will get you right in the gut, whether it’s a soul-searing ballad, or a whiskey stompin’ (guitarist) Mikel Lander lick.”

Gutos hopes booking more shows like this will help put Phoenix on the map as a major music destination.

“I think the more national acts and festivals we can put on, the more people are going to want to come here,” he says.

“I think a big part of it is the people.

There’s a really strong, supportive scene… no matter what your background is, if you’re doing something new and interesting and cool and you’re excited

about it, it’s very attractive and I think people gravitate towards it.”

“The Phoenix music scene is unlike any other in the United States,” Moore adds. “In many big cities, you see segregation between genres. You’ll have your hip-hop scene, your jam band scene, your blues scene… They are all their own entity. In our music community, you see acts from all realms sharing a bill and cross-pollinating audiences. It’s an amazing thing. Everyone works together and has an appreciation for one another’s art form.”

That sentiment compliments Gutos’ goal for the Shady Park show.

“I think my main goal is to just throw a really good show. If anything comes of it afterwards, great, but I think the focus for a show like this is to just make it as cool as possible,” he says.

“Usually things tend to

THE SUGAR THIEVES

happen when you least expect them in situations where you just focus on the outcome of that thing. And I think people can feel that when they’re here, too.”

The Sibling Rivalry Tour w/ Hannah Wicklund & The Steppin’ Stones, The High Divers and The Sugar Thieves at Shady Park, 26 E. University Drive, Tempe, shadyparktempe.com, Thursday, April 5, 8 p.m., $7-$15. CT

THE RIGHT TRACK A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLIST OF PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

I

f Camille Sledge’s name doesn’t ring a bell, her mother’s might. She was a founding member of Sister Sledge, the famed female disco trio behind the iconic hit “We Are Family.” But Camille is a tour de force in her own right. She is a singer, songwriter, MC and model. She is the vocalist for the soulful super group, the Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra (PAO). She also serves as the Phoenix-based, 16-piece outfit’s “leader of rituals.”

Camille Sledge

“We, as a band, have always come together in a ‘circle up,’ if you will, before each big show, recording, or event to combine energies and get focused,” she elaborates. “It’s a bit secretive because we have not really allowed anyone else to be a part of this, except for those who have been very close to the band in the past. I am the leader of that ritual.”

In 2012, Camille co-founded School of HipHop PHX, a nonprofit mentoring and music program that uses hip-hop as a framework to influence and inspire inner city youth. Whether she’s teaching a runway workshop or a vocal lesson, or captivating a crowd with her electric stage presence, one thing’s for sure: Camille Sledge has soul.

Catch her in her element at PAO’s Laugh to Keep From Crying album release party on Friday, March 16 at The Van Buren and check out the music that moves her below.

TOP 5 FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME “Dog Days Are Over,” Florence and the Machine “(Florence) got me through some rough times when I first discovered her voice.”

“There For You,” Damien Marley “My best friend and I make this our mantra.”

“Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler),” Marvin Gaye “This song held a place in my political heart, even in the days before I discovered Afrobeat. Plus, I’m in love with Marvin.”

“Life Is Gone Down Low,” The Lijadu Sisters “It’s a song I wish I wrote. Love the harmonies and how unconventional the rhythms hit.”

“Jagger the Dagger,” Eugene McDaniels “I’m a hip-hop head to my heart. This song gave me hip-hop and then took me back to funk and soul.”

PREFERRED WAY OF LISTENING “I’m just on Spotify mostly. I really love vinyl; the sound and vibes are more groovy, but truly, I play my Spotify all day in the house.”

DESERT ISLAND ALBUM “Michael Jackson’s Off the Wall. This album would keep me lifted! Just ‘Working Day and Night’ and ‘Rockin’ with You’ ‘Off the Wall’ because ‘I Can’t Help It!’”

WHAT ARTIST WOULD PROVIDE THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE MOVIE ABOUT YOUR LIFE? “My mom’s albums. She is an amazing songwriter alone — for obvious reasons — but I think Sister Sledge’s We Are Family album really knows me… The story is that Nile (Rodgers) and Bernard (Edwards) really got to know the sisters before writing many of the songs specifically for

them. Go figure, maybe I’m becoming my mother after all.”

FAVORITE SONG BY A LOCAL ARTIST “I think this PAO song, ‘I Can’t Die,’ has been in my top faves now for a while. It’s chilling every time we do it. Shameless plug! But this question stumped me, really, because there is so much local goodness! I love a ton of local acts and go out as often as I can.”

APRIL 13 • KING KRULE On the heels of his sophomore album under the King Krule moniker, British musician Archy Marshall will stop in Tempe before heading to Indio, California for the first weekend of Coachella. The critically acclaimed 2017 album, The OOZ, saw Marshall taking his sound down a much darker, textured and atmospheric path than his 2013 debut, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. From the jazzy, almost trip-hop sound of its opener, “Biscuit Town,” to the somewhat Lynchian, post-punk vibes of “Dum Surfer” and the druggy electronics of “Czech One” (which sounds more akin to his 2015 album A New Place to Drown, released under his own name), the 19-track project is a 60-plus-minute journey into the mind of King Krule.

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN

TOTALLY ACCURATE PREDICTIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18) A change of scenery can do wonders for the psyche. If you find yourself needing a refresh as finals week gets closer, try hitting the road for a weekend… or at least schedule yourself a Travel Channel documentary binge. It’s the thought that counts.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20) Spending frivolously has always been a weak point for you.

Try eliminating unnecessary purchases – and stop opening the Amazon app while you’re on Mill Avenue at 2 a.m. – and you may be surprised how much you save.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 21) Mercury will be in retrograde an extra few weeks, extending your sign’s prime time to shine and your opportunity to reach your full potential. We’re not entirely sure what that means, but it sounds like a good reason to skip class.

TAURUS (APRIL 22-MAY 20) Relationships are a two-way street, Taurus, so you might want to reconsider a friendship if you’re the one doing all the walking – especially if your friend has a car. That’s just cruel.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 21) Lately, you’ve been feeling full, upset and out of whack. Take time to validate your emotions and determine their cause; sometimes we all confuse our own feelings with those of an anti-acid commercial.

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Your social life is in need of sprucing up and a change is in the stars. While making new friends can be awkward, you have to start somewhere. May we suggest a casual message on Facebook, or if you’re really shy, hit ‘em up first with that LinkedIn “connect.”

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22) Don’t be afraid to wind down after a busy spring break and take time for yourself when you need it. You’re always the first one to say, “Turn down for what.” Well, this is your “what.”

VIRGO (AUGUST 23- SEPTEMBER 22) It’s rare for someone to have you trippin’ but a budding relationship is in the works. Be careful before falling headfirst, however. It’s one thing to go down on your own accord – it’s another if someone else is stepping on your shoelaces. #deep LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22) Call yourself Gnarls Barkley because you are head-over-heels “Crazy” for someone right now. Be cautious in giving your heart away, though – it seems love never lasts as long as a Grammy Award for Best Urban/Alternative Performance.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21) In the endless cycle of classes, work and stress, you feel like things are out of your control. Remember: You are the pilot of your own life… you just might need to radio in from the cockpit every now and again.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21) When you feel like you can’t stop making mistakes, remember you’re on the pursuit of happiness – everything that shines ain’t always gonna be gold. Are those the lyrics to a Kid Cudi song? Yes. Does that make them any less true? You be the judge.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19) A serious relationship at this age is like an ice cream cone on a hot summer’s day: fun when you get started, but things get messy quick. Good thing you’ve always been more of a cookie person. CT
