SCOTTSDALE : Calvin Harris @ Axis / Radius
Calvin Harris.. the big ticket show of the night! Heading to Scottsdale is always less than desirable, but in order to see the best producers in electronic music, it is a voyage that has to be made. Upon entering the doors of Axis / Radius, we found ourselves in a sea of people. The fashion hunt is a bit tricky in these environments. Looking people up and down, scoping out their shoes and accessories while squeezing by fashion disasters can sometimes lead to dirty looks and more aggressive attempts to pass by, leaving out a polite "excuse me." But there is a job to be done and it was the reason we were there! Lap after lap, up and down the stairs, from the VIP lounge to the over crowded dance floor, Nik and I looked high and low.
We saw more of this than anything.....
The majority of those in attendance wore jeans, t-shirts, sneakers... even Mr. Calvin Harris himself. And many who did dress up appeared to be just another jersey shore 'situation'. Thankfully a few of our fashionable friends showed up.

TEMPE : Interpol & School of Seven Bells @ Marquee Theatre
Last night, lines wrapped around the building as shivering Interpol devotees braced themselves for the highly anticipated performance. Nik and I dressed in silver in black and were anxious to get in and start snapping photos of cleverly dressed youth. As we passed the lines and headed to the entrance door, we started to feel as if our fashion hunt may come up short.. yet again. Everyone was bundled up for the unexpected cold snap and it was apparent that winter attire is not one of Phoenix's strengths.
But after we got in, we started seeing some great fashion. It took a while to catch on, but it looks like the 90's are finally back here in the valley. What I find funny about 90's influences is that when I've seen it done properly, it has been accomplished by the under-age crowd. Perhaps it's because they were wearing diapers and onesys back then and can only now wear the trends of the mid-nineties.
Out of the two bands, I'll have to admit I was most anxious to see dream-pop band School of Seven Bells perform. They were one of my favourite break-through artists of 2010 and I missed their last tour. They were well-received by the crowd but I was hindered that they didn't play "Prince of Peace". Still, great performance.
We caught up with Benjamin Curtis, lead guitarist of School of Seven Bells and formally from the band Secret Machines, to add his ensemble to our archive. Layered and combat boots. You can't go wrong.
Later, Interpol took the stage. With the audience memorized by the music it was hard to tear them away for a photo. But we managed to get a few.
