Hoodlums Music Store, formerly housed in the Memorial Union on ASU
campus, has long been a trusted source of indie music in the valley.
And I’m thinking they may soon be a trusted source of local visual
art talent as well.
I last covered their vynil art show in December, 2008 and think it’s appropriate to blog about their upcoming show, “We Live Here”.
Right out the gate, I like the theme of this show already. Hoodlums
is pimping it as “A joyous display of limited-edition silk-screened
prints and home-grown beats made of the people, by the people, and for
the people of Tempe.” Clever. I like it.
Then again, I’m a huge lover of the Valley and I really, really don’t dig on people dissing my hometown. Ugh, if you hate it so bad, move already.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Curated by Tempe artist, Beth Tom, local artists
were invited to make two silk screen prints that show why each artist
thinks Tempe is a great place to be. The show aims to celebrate and
support the talented folks and the place they love.
The opening reception is free; tonight from 7-9pm. And, of course,
opening night means some free food and live music…this time by
acoustic/indie/electrostatic guitarist Joe Myers.
Head to Hoodlums Music and Movies at 6434 S McClintock Dr, SW corner of Guadalupe and McClintock from 7-9pm. Call 480-775-2722 or visit www.hoodlumsmusic.com.
