DIY Venue Spotlight: The Trunk Space
The Trunk Space offers Phoenix an alternative to “diets of TV, commercial radio, and mall fashion.”
This space was originally an art gallery, but its owners’ desire to promote avant-garde and non-commercial forms of expression led them to booking bands and hosting films, improv nights, circus sideshows, burlesque performances…basically, the antithesis of the mainstream culture diet.
The venue also has a full espresso bar, which makes all the experimental activity even more delicious.
Quintron: Too Thirsty 4 Love
Released on Memphis-based Goner Records, Too Thirsty 4 Love is the latest from New Orleans mad scientist, underground icon, and organ aficionado Quintron. One look at the cover gives the would-be listener some indication of what they’re in for: Quintron, dressed like a thrift-store game show host, relaxing in bed with a remarkable lady, both wearing plastic fangs, entwined in an enormous snake and enjoying a novelty ice cream drink.
