Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout have been entertaining Tucson music fans with their shock and awe campaign. The “awe” comes courtesy of proggy rhythms and hyperactive vocal stylings that fall somewhere between Mr. Bungle and Captain Beefheart. Meanwhile, the “shock” is evident to anybody that has ever happened to catch one of their live shows.
While you might have missed their recent CD release party at Plush, you can now download the Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout Studio 2A Performance and Interview.

Courtney Robbins hitched a ride with Coyote Grace earlier this year, and has been leading a nomadic lifestyle for much of the past few months, criss-crossing the U.S. performing shows together. She’s back in town for a week or two, culminating with a show this Friday (November 2nd) at The Hut with Coyote Grace, Brian Field, and Leila Lopez. For those of you that haven’t heard Brian Field yet, this Boston transplant is a clever wordsmith. Occasionally cynical, often funny, and always entertaining. Don’t hold his BoSox fandom against him.
If you missed it on Monday, you can now download the Brian Field, Courtney Robbins, and Coyote Grace Studio 2A Performance and Interview.

In Tucson’s alternative rock music scene, dominated by male-fronted bands, Mozart’s Sister provides a breath of fresh air. This rockin’ power trio is nestled somewhere in that sweet spot between female-fronted 90’s alternative rock bands like Belly and Juliana Hatfield, and 80’s pop-rock like the Pretenders and the Motels.
