CSS > at Crescent Ballroom tonight

Cansei de Ser Sexy in the PHX > finally! Tonight's show is actually a make-up show for what was originally slated for April 19th but was postponed due to a rumored Coachella-related illness. So the 6-month rain check plus their last appearance in the desert being 5 years ago makes for a very highly anticipated return for my favorite Brazilian electropoppers. They just kicked off the North America leg of their La Liberación tour last week so they should be coming out with some high energy this early in the journey.

I haven't been to Crescent Ballroom yet but I'm pretty excited to check it out. It has only been open a few weeks [or less] and has already been generating a lot of positive buzz in my hood [Tempe] and the socialsphere. Stateside Presents' Charlie Levy spearheaded this project to offer the Phoenix area another option for Stateside shows and a much bigger one at that. Word on the street is this joint is not quite the size of Marquee Theatre but much much bigger than The Clubhouse. This will be great for us when bands come to town who don't really necessitate a venue like Marquee but sell out the smaller ones in 10 minutes.

Crescent Ballroom is also a lounge and a kitchen which boasts a menu created by the gentlemen of Pizzeria Bianco and Gallo Blanco. Far from typical bar food I can only assume so I look forward to not taking a major colon gamble if I get hungry before a show [ahem, Horse and Hound]. The lounge is open daily and will supposedly have live music for FREE every night of the week! All of the aforementioned plus its lightrail proximity have me amped to the max. Now if we could only rip out the seats at Comerica Theatre and US Airways Center for those types of capacity shows.

FYI tickets for the originally planned CSS show at Venue of Scottsdale in April will be honored for tonight's show. The Party Posse will be hitting the lightrail from Mill Ave around 7:00pm so join us if you like and come check out a really fun band at a new spot that sounds like it will kick a lot of ass. Do it.
