Wavelab Studio is teaming up with Club Crawl® to host a showcase at the Hotel Congress outdoor stage.

Craig Schumacher, owner of Wavelab Studio, is also the producer and engineer for beloved such as Neko Case, Calexico and this year’s headliner (playing at the Rialto Theatre), DeVotchKa. In fact, it was Schumacher who pursued DeVotchKa and got the group to come to Tucson to be part of Club Crawl®. Having just purchased the building that houses his studio at 111 S. Sixth Ave.,…

How is the streetcar construction affecting the Club Crawl® layout?

Good news: We are still using Congress Street between the Rialto Theatre and Hotel Congress, and Fifth Avenue between Broadway Boulevard and Toole Avenue, to host three of our outdoor stages. However, the section of Congress Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues will remain under construction, and will not be part of this fall’s event.

Kicking Harold is part of an elite group: It includes musicians from Tucson who actually released a record on a major label.

A move to Los Angeles in the early '90s was just what the doctor ordered for these three friends from Tucson, because what started as a "jam session" quickly turned into an indie record deal. After the band scored success with national touring and airplay, MCA Records came calling. In 1996, they transformed their indie release, Ugly and…

Any great downtown has plentiful restaurants, cafés and bars, and is a place where one can stroll the streets and take in the city's ambience.

Tucson now has such a downtown—and if you haven't visited in a while, then the night of Club Crawl® would be a perfect time to reacquaint yourself.

To illustrate this point, here is a list of the restaurants on Fourth Avenue and downtown that are participating in Club Crawl®. All are within walking distance of the Club Crawl®…

How do I get into Club Crawl®—and how do I avoid lines?

There are two main entrances into Club Crawl®. The east entrance is at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Congress Street, and the west entrance is at Sixth Avenue and Congress Street. Our last three Club Crawl® events have been our biggest ever, so to keep up with demand, we have made both the east and west entrances twice the size to accommodate crowds. We still advise folks to show up early and beat the…

For The Love Me Nots, it's all in the Farfisa and the fuzz.

It's hard to ignore, of course, lead singer Nicole Laurenne's commanding presence. Behind the microphone, she's the embodiment of female power and assertive sexuality, barely controlling her punky frenzy. When she performs, she sounds as if she's 10 feet tall.

But the Phoenix band's sly, sexy combination of garage and psychedelic rock, vintage new wave, R&B rave-ups,…

Super Stereo's infectious Pop hooks and compelling live show have catapulted the band into the psyche of dance floor maniacs from 1980s Synth-Pop Fiends to Modern Electro Hipsters.

Their debut Fervor Records release, THIS IS FUTUREPOP, lays claim to and re-defines the genre with…
