I’m sure no one will be watching when Team Sleep strolls through town, but I’ve been wondering what ever happened to them, so I might go check them out. Being a Deftones fan boy, you have to wonder what Team Sleep has to offer at a live show. Deftones frontman, Chino Moreno created Team Sleep in late 2001, mostly to indulge in darker, dreamy, pop electronica. The band is actually coming out with a second album - and of course - you can hear some new tracks on their MySpace page. The track that stands out is Am Formant.

The show is at the Clubhouse in Tempe on December 12th. Sonny, Strata, and Monster in the Machine will also perform.

Rocketline is a local psychedelic, space dance band and they sound amazing. I have attended two of their shows, and both times was enlightened by their energy and entertained by their skills. Their sound: a cohesive bond between drums and bass, spacey guitar work, and a flighty saxophone, all complimented by timely percussion, chimes and ambient vocals.

After talking with the group a few times, I encouraged them to let me build their band’s website. They loved the idea, and we have officially started working on the Rocketline website. Stay tuned for updates here, as I will post the play-by-play.

For now, you can visit their MySpace profile for upcoming shows, and music.

My parents came up to Phoenix this weekend to celebrate my sister’s graduation from the Toni & Guy Hair Academy. It was a great weekend, probably the best weekend that my parents have had in Phoenix. Friday night extreme bowling, and Sunday afternoon football at Coach & Willie’s was nice, but spending Saturday at the Arizona State Fair was the highlight of the weekend.

We decided to get to the fair early Saturday morning, and spend the early afternoon there. This turned out to be a good idea. I enjoyed the lack of riffraff roaming around, which isn’t the case at nighttime. A few years ago, my first time at the fair, I remember what the night crowd was like, and it was not something you would want to show your parents.  However, I plan on going back to the fair in a couple of weeks. I want to go at night.
