On stage this week:
The Rialto Theatre wants to take us back to the 1990s when grunge ruled.
So the downtown music venue is hosting an evening of grunge cover bands on Friday, July 6.
Weβll recall the Foo Fighters with Fooz Fighters out of San Diego and Nirvana from Silver, a Los Angeles band whose lead singer has Kurt Cobainβs disshelved faraway look down to a T.
The all-female Allison Chains is a head-banging twist on Alice in Chains and Oceans out of Vista, California, pays homage to Pearl Jam.
The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Rialto, 318 E. Congress St. Tickets are $28 in advance through ticketfly.com or $30 at the door.
From Phoenix with love
Phoenix alternative rockers Anarbor are taking a little road trip this weekend.
The band plays a show at 191 Toole at 8 p.m. Friday, July 6. Itβs open to anyone 16 and older and itβs a show that will appeal particularly to the late-teens set.
This is a band that banks on not only its soulful genre-defying sound that leans unapologetically to pop but itβs ability to defy being labeled a pop band.
Anarbor introduced itself with βFree Your Mind,β which some critics have described as a βtranscendingβ EP. They followed up with their eponymous full-length album βAnarbor,β in 2016 β their third studio album.
Friday’s show, presented by the Rialto Theatre, starts at 8 p.m. at 191 Toole, 191 E. Toole Ave. It’s $10 to get in at the door or in advance at ticketfly.com
