Phoenix things to do: June 12-14

FRIDAY
Handsome Furs @ Chyro Arts
Watch this Canadian indie band with one of the members of Wolf Parade at a new, and hopefully air conditioned venue I’ve never heard of.

SATURDAY & SUNDAY
Paisley Town Block Party
The Paisley Violin enclave is hosting a weekend-long event that includesa petting zoo, performances, glass blowing, a fashion show (which I’ve heard starts at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday) and lots of food.

1028 NW Grand Ave.
Phoenix, AZ
Saturday, 10 a.m. – midnight
Sunday, brunch 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., events 12 – 6 p.m.

SUNDAY
Peter Murphy @ Marquee
Who knew that this ’80s alt-rocker was still touring? I probably won’t be going, seeing my husband has placed a ban on all Marquee performances (since he was asked to remove his shoes before a Vampire Weekend show), but I’m betting the former Bauhaus-er knows how to put on a performance.

Marquee
730 N. Mill Ave.
Tempe, AZ 85281
6:30 p.m.
Ticket are $23 in advance, $25 at the door.

And for your listening pleasure:
My favorite Miniature Tigers song, The Wolf, which I found on my friend’s site, SoMuchSilence.com
