My first stab at concert promoting goes off Saturday night at Yucca Tap Room in Tempe, where Source Victoria and Birdmonster headline a five-band bill. Also playing: Traindead (Phoenix), the Small Hours (LA) and .Sub (England). (Read a bit about Traindead here and Source Victoria here.)

It’ll be a fun night, so anyone in the metro Phoenix area should come out. No cover, as always, at Yucca (29 W. Southern Ave. … southwest corner of Southern and Mill). Birdmonster is on the way to South By Southwest, and my guess is they’ll be road-testing new material.
